Take Part in the Great Baseball Flip Off
Down at the very bottom of Brewers.com is a poll:
"Pick heads or tails for Friday's playoff scenario coin flip. The Brewers will go with the majority pick."
Make your choice, Brewer fans! Heads has an early 54%-46% lead as I post this, but there's still time for those who prefer tails to turn the tide.

There’s stuff we need to know first. Will it be a standard quarter, or one made specially for the event? Who will flip it? What is their HTR (Heads-to-tails Ratio)… Which flipping method will they use, the tom thumb or old faithful?
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!

Thats actually good stuff to know.
Physics definitaly plays a part in coin flipping. If it’s a regular quarter, go with tails as the bulge on the heads side makes it heavier and more likely to face the ground.
Wait, what?
I am extraordinarily anti-Suppan. And Gagne. I am anti-gagne, too.

Well, that worked out great.
Milwaukee GM Doug Melvin, keeping his pledge to follow the directive of online-voting fans who favored “tails” by a 51-49 margin, was not so lucky. If forced to play a 163rd game for their Wild Card lives, the Brewers thus would have to travel to St. Louis, Houston or Philadelphia.
For a game possibly needed to decide the NL Central title, Melvin didn’t get to make the call — and that’s the only flip he won, meaning the Brewers would host the Cubs in Miller Park.
