The Milwaukee Brewers are just 1.5 games out of the second Wild Card spot. Last night 12 of 15 games had some kind of playoff implication. The new format is definately keeoing teams in the pennant chase much longer. Today, we met up with my parents for a street fair and a visit to the book store. Dad bought me a Spaceman Lee book last week and I started reading tonight. We are hopeful to chat with Bill for our next book. Speaking of baseball characters, Bob Uecker was mentioned in the new SI.
