There's no stopping the Milwaukee Brewers.
They beat up the New York Yankees, San Diego Padres and Chicago Cubs this month, and tonight torment the powerful Los Angeles Dodgers with a 5-1 victory.
They have the NL's 2nd-best record at 30-18, winning 15 of their last 19 games.
Despite playing in the sport’s smallest media market, the Milwaukee Brewers have reached the playoffs in seven of the past eight seasons. Not even baseball’s smartest computer systems saw them coming. https://t.co/zkenkQMGR2

One of the best parts of the Masters golf tournament: the no phone rule.
It’s awesome to see so many people locked in and sharing an experience with full presence.
As I write in The Way of Excellence: “Excellence requires intimacy—minimizing distractions and getting as close as possible to your pursuit. It is a powerful antidote to modern feelings of disconnection, dissociation, and numbness.”
I have no doubt a big part of the aura at the Masters is its intimacy. This would be impossible if everyone had their phones.
There’s much to learn from this, and not just for golf.
