Fans followed every moment as the Brewers got shut down on Monday.
"I just got back from Jamaica not too long ago. I’m just kind of riding that vacation over and taking a lunch and enjoying the game while I can," Lawrence said.
It was not a vacation for Bartelak. He brought his computer to the bar to watch his favorite team.
"Sending emails out. Trying to correspond with my people at work," Bartelak said. "I have to do the best that I can to support the team. 12 o’clock game, you got to do what you got to do. Work and watch the Brewers at the same time.:
Brewers fans say this year's team is special.
"The comradery, the energy behind it," Lawrence said.
"They have the best pitching staff in the league. Pitching is what carries you in the playoffs so they can definitely win it all," said Ryan Steny.
