I'm typically far more positive, there are tons worse on this board. I'm just getting far too many 2006 Cards vibes from this team. I'd almost rather not see them. The worse they are, the more crippled, injured and debilitated they are, the scarier they are in my mind. Obviously anything can happen, but I don't see why you wouldn't have more fear of the Phils, Mets, & Dodgers then. All 3 of those teams carry with them a greater expectation that they could get hot and carry themselves past us than the Brewers. Plus why are you comparing the pixie-dust laden Cards to the woeful 26-year drought Brewers? The two organizations are about as far apart in terms of "miracle production" as you can possibly imagine. I guess since the playoffs are such a crapshoot I fear our team getting overconfident against a weaker team (not that it would really do much to affect the outcome) and the incessant "omg we choked again, blah blah blah" that would come from it. We've had such a great season, its such a shame that everything hinges on a few games in October for all the glory.
