Every player knows this is a long season, filled with peaks and valleys, ups and downs and highs and lows. So very rarely do players bask in the glory of their hot streaks in fear of that valley on the horizon.

However, in the case of the Milwaukee Brewers, it is hard for this young bunch not to get caught up in their recent run. Since May 24th the Brewers have been one of the top teams in the majors, posting a sensational 21-9 ledger.
