What if the Brewers had just lost a few more games? The Brewers have been insanely hot as they head into the postseason. In September, the Brewers and Chicago Cubs saw a lot of the same opponents.
Milwaukee swept the Cardinals before the Cubs took two of three from the Redbirds. How did St. Louis manage to get swept by the Brew Crew when they were literally fighting for their postseason lives? It marked a rare moment in which I rooted for the Cardinals. Before that, Pittsburgh beat the Brewers once. The Cubs lost to the Pirates twice.
