Only three years ago the Milwaukee Brewers had everything, including a National League Central title.

Only 21 of those games happened in the postseason. Hardly seems possible, right? It’s true.

Oh, and the Bucky Effing Dent game doesn’t technically count — that unforgettable tiebreaker contest went down in the history books as Game 163 of the 1978 season — but those other 21 games have produced an impressive number of postseason heroes....

The Seagulls matched United for large periods at Old Trafford as the hosts struggled to create clear-cut openings, barring Mat Ryan’s excellent double save from Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba at the end of the first half.
