I'd also like to add that I can handle missing the playoffs too, but not at the hands of the freaking Cardinals... I'd rather lose out to the Cubs than the Cardinals. Another part that’s bugging me is that next year’s draft is absolutely loaded with elite talent near the top. The Brewers are sort of out of the running for a great pick (#12 or #13 is probably the best they could do), so if they were going to waste away a season with an anemic offense I wish the prize was going to be a little better. Surely there will be a middle infielder that can't hit or a toolsy outfielder waiting to put it all together for us.
