Coming out of the All-Star break, the Brewers got hot and really started creating momentum for their team and their post-season push.  The team was looking loose and really enjoying themselves, fans were getting energize, and we were seeing areas of weakness [offense] start to turn it around.  The Brewers were scoring more runs than almost any other team in MLB.
