Woe is the Brewers!

The Brewers picked the wrong time to lose 3 straight... and lose 7 of 10... and make critical errors... and to get into a bean ball war with St. Louis.

As if this weekend wasn't crazy enough, just imagine if the Brewers won the last 3 games at home.

The NL Central would be tied on the last Saturday of the season, and the Padres would have a single game lead and the Brewers would have clinched their best record since 1988. Instead the Cubs have the Division Title, the Padres are about to clinch, the Brewers are eliminated and are STILL fighting to get above .500 for the first time in 15 years.

Now they go from the best story in baseball with an 8 1/2 game lead at one point and in first place by themselves as recently as September 11th... to playing spoiler and hoping to make the NL Wild Card relevant to the Rockies and possibly the Mets.

I listened to the end of the Brewers/Padres game on my XM. Uecker was so depressed by the end you would have thought they cancelled Mr. Belvedere again.
