Yeah. I have those questions/thoughts on my mind too.

CWC found those comments from Brewers fans who are clearly not happy, because their club keeps making the playoffs, but doesnt win the world series, and they all think the owner should stump up another round of cash. That is, they're pissed off because they "only" make the playoffs.

I guess it goes to show that sports fans are simply never satisfied. Apart from perhaps fans of Man City and Liverpool.

But I do wonder if this will quite be the wonderland some people think.
