The Brewers getting the monkey off their back would be awesome. But I look back at 2011 & 2018 with pretty fond memories too and they didn't make it to the WS. Tony Plush walking off the Diamondbacks, Brandon Woodruff hitting a HR off Kershaw. Fantastic stuff.
I kind of agree the shine of a championship fades pretty quickly. It's always ideal to have one, goes without saying.
The Bucks championship in '21 already feels like it was forever ago and the state of the team since then has just left me with a blah feeling. I'm still ecstatic they got one and the memories from it will last forever but it just goes to show how fleeting that crest of the mountain feeling is.
Anyway, I'm just so happy that the Brewers are in the position they're in right now and it looks like their future is just as bright. Hopefully that first championship comes, if not this season then in the next 2 or 3.
