The sad part is that we've now finally got two MVP type bats in Fielder and Braun.....a great closer.....Sheets pitched a good first half.....a rookie fireball pitcher who may be on par with a Dwight Gooden type.....
All that and we still can't play over .500 ball....
They've actually played .710 baseball since June 22nd.
I'm actually really interested to see how this plays out. When will the Cubs cool off? When will the Brewers win like 8 of 10? Who will be there at the end?
This is fun to me. I love baseball and the insane 162 game schedule.
