Very poor effort by our backup players

esp. Ward.

Good bullpen work so far, though.

I'm so conflicted about who I want to make the playoffs.

On one hand, I loathe the Mets, a lot. On the other, I really enjoy the little brother complex the Brewers have, and enjoy beating up on them. I’m just afraid of the Phillies, that’s all I know.

The more I think about it, the less I care who we play

I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003, I think we all did. Last year I wanted to Packers to play the Giants in the NFC Championship, again FAIL.
