After 162 games of a wild 2018 Brewers season, here's a reason to remember each and every game

The 2018 Milwaukee Brewers season was full of some pretty amazing moments, though 162 games will obviously run together no matter how intently fans watch every pitch. 

Let's steal an idea from the 1990s sitcom "Friends," which named its episodes based on how you might describe or remember them ("The One With the Evil Orthodontist" or "The One With Ross's Sandwich" are examples). Here are the 162 games in the Brewers season and how you might remember each.
