The brewers became the first team to make the postseason on Saturday.
And manager Pat Murphy says it's been quite an accomplishment for his team.
Who believed before the season that we're going to be over 500?
You can't find a prognosticator that said we were going to be over 500 before the season,
not one.

the line of scrimmage.
Following the game, coach Luke Fickle talked about the season starting now.
More than anything we know that this was a measuring stick, we're not measuring up to where
we want to be or expect to be, but there's a long way to go and the key is where do we
go moving forward and continuing to find ways to get better and keep pushing because the
season starts now.
A final note on sports over the weekend and I know it was shared quite widely on the
internet, but Pat Murphy reading a letter from the late Bob Euker.
Bob Euker wrote this letter and to give it to the Brewer front office to be read if the
next time they made the playoffs or when the next time they made the playoffs and Pat
Murphy shared that letter with a team following their clinching on Saturday night.
I got a letter today from Euk and before we toast I want to read it, thanks for
it was fitting the last time that we celebrated, it was with us.
Howdy boys, never a doubt, you would get this invitation, you did it by believing, really
miss you guys and I wish I was there.
Things are good, the God Almighty picked me to be on his team up here, I'll beat it on
the third catcher.
It's a great league, no day games after night games, no shadows, but you got all a sticky
you need to have up here.
Told a big guy about you guys, you play hard every night, you're not afraid to play for
each other, he's obviously very interested in the group with this uncommon goodness.
The fact that you have the best record in baseball, the best road record in baseball
is caught his attention.
You don't really need me, I know you guys really don't need me, but I've got to tell
you, I'll be on the headset every night watching and don't forget to take it all in, enjoy
it, keep it light and believe in each other, Bob Euker.
So let's toast to him and to our team what we've achieved so far, hey hey, it's supposed
to be non-alcoholic.
Brewer manager Pat Murphy, thanks to my Clements for sharing that audio with us today,
I am Filny, that's an update on Monday Morning Sports.
