This, my friends, is what it’s all about. You see, the Brewers are making their fans very excited and all with the best record in the majors. And, to celebrate their newfound good fortunes which may lead to a playoff appearance, fans are taking things to the next level over at http://PeeyourpantsfortheBrewers.com.

Right now 1,019 Milwaukee fans have pledged to pee their pants if the Brew Crew makes the playoffs.

Cesar is really going to start turning some heads if he keeps pitching like that. Isn't he a lefty? Wasn't it just last year that J.
