If you are a fan of the lovable brats-burg of Milwaukee, what a brutal 5-game doughnut hole of a lost weekend in Pittsburgh you had to suffer through. I imagine Milwaukee hasn’t been this shocked since Joanie stopped loving Chachi or the Old Milwaukee beer bear bit it during the ’79 hunting season.
But their loss is more than just another day in an under-stimulating but still affordably priced real estate market. What bummed out a few hundred thousand Brewers fans produced pure elation for millions of Chicago Cubs fans. If only the universe produced that ratio every day.
