mikevan1818, i'm with you. i'm trying to temper my enthusiasm and remain cautiously optimistic, but it's just not working. i keep looking at our next few series i don't get intimidated because i know that we can play good ball with anyone (i suppose we're just as likely to lay an egg, but it's no fun to think like that). that being said, if the brewers continue on this path of gradual improvement i won't be disappointed in the least.
