Brewers manager has epic quote straight from Hollywood script after sweeping vaunted Dodgers
Any team can beat any team on any given day, regardless of how many players are Cooperstown-bound in the opponent's lineup.
The Milwaukee Brewers certainly proved that point, as they swept the vaunted Los Angeles Dodgers to advance to their first World Series in 44 years.
The baseball world widely expected the Dodgers, with their rotation chock-full of aces and lineup full of future Hall of Famers, to roll to their third straight World Series title.
The Brewers proved them wrong.
"They may have a bunch of Hall of Famers, but we have a bunch of gamers.
And the gamers won this week," Murphy said after the Brewers’ win.

According to Spotrac, Los Angeles’ $339 million payroll ranks second in baseball, more than twice the Brewers' $146 million payroll, which ranks 19th in the sport.
"We weren’t coming in to play patty-cake," Murphy said.
"We were hungry, and as long as it’s an even playing field, we’re going to come in and give it our best shot to win.
That’s exactly what we did." The Dodgers swept the Brewers in the NLCS last season, which is why so many thought a similar outcome might be on the horizon this year.
Not Milwaukee.
"I think the Dodgers figured out that we came in here with a little different attitude this year," Murphy said.
