What have the eras looked like since then? It hasn't always been so bright, as you're

hinting.

No, because 1982 was the last time they made the postseason until 2008.

Now, you remember there weren't as many playoff teams back then.

There were two from each league.

Since then, you know, we've had expanded playoffs.

So there were some teams probably in there, maybe 1987, 1992, that would have made the postseason.

What happened? Why did they end up staying?

[laughs]

But I do like, I do like Milwaukee anyway.

I do Milwaukee...

I, I do think that, um, the Cubs have got a lot of talent, but Milwaukee, uh, they got a great manager, terrific pitching.

As long as everybody can stay healthy, and, um, you know, they need to get some...

There's some guys in this lineup who gotta get going a little bit.

But, you know, the Brewers just never sustain any long skids.

That's so cool.

I don't know if you had that on your bingo card today either.

No, but I thought the Yankees were due to bust out.

I, I really did.

You know, they, they needed an offensive outburst like this.

They're 51 and 42, Brian, and I, I just think they're better than that.

I, I think they are better than that.

I think they're better than Tampa.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I, I remember this, uh, uh, 2011, you can even go back and remember this, that y- you know, there was some question whether or not, um, the Brewers were throwing at one of their hitters, and they threw at Braun, and this is La Russa.

Now if La Russa was involved, I don't know Marble, as much as I've seen what La Russa's done from all the way back to his days with the White Sox, so.

But with Ollie, I don't know.

Um, who knows a- of all that, but apparently, you know, Yelich on Wednesday said before the game that everything was good between the two teams.

There was not gonna be any altercations.

'Cause we came to the ballpark Wednesday thinking, "Okay, this is game on today."

Do you have anything nice to say about the Cardinals?

That's baseball, right? Chuck.

Oh, absolutely.

And that's why, you know, and I'll tell you here after the break here, why people think that the Brewers were just going to go in there and sweep this series.

And I don't know if you get that on your end, but back when, you know, you guys were the rulers of this division, but we'll talk about that coming up next.

Chuck Freeman, Lockdown Brewers, J.D. Hafford from Lockdown Cardinals on the Lockdown Podcast Network.

We are your team every day.

All right, good to have you along here.

You guys got that down.

[laughs]

I will, I will say this.

In, in Milwaukee, there's a faction of people who think, well, Milwaukee's gonna eventually ca- I talked to a fan today.

"Oh, we're eventually gonna catch fire, and we're gonna pass those.

The Reds are frauds.

Ah, the Cubs," you know, all that.

And now the Cardinals, of course, they're on a losing skid right now, and the Pirates are the Pirates.

You got it.

[laughs]

I, I will, I will say this.
