The division race has certainly tightened up and it's not just Chicago in the mix.  Pittsburgh is well within striking distance and they have won 9 of their last 11 including series wins over Chicago and STL and the first 2 games against the Brewers.

66 games left but what's key is they play Chicago, STL, and Pittsburgh a total of 16 times in their final 25 games.  

Not that I don't care if they win or lose against Philly or Washington but these head to head division games are critical and teams can either make up or lose ground in a hurry. 

We will find out what this team is made of soon enough.  Early returns aren't positive but all it takes is for a few breaks or injuries and a lot can change - as witnessed by our own team. 

The Central is wide open.   I never like to count the Cardinals out either.   Those sneaky birds always are a thorn in the butt and somehow scrape together win streaks.  But you have to think the Cubbies will end up in the playoffs again.

As we all know...it comes down to pitching.   I am excited that the Brewers are still in the hunt.   They key here is having a "stopper" pitch us out of the mini-slide now.

I am sure Counsel and the team knows there is a LONG WAY to go and didn't think they had the division wrapped up at All-Star break. 

It'll be interesting to see what management does these next few weeks.  Go BREWERS!

Broxton and Thames are really hurting the offense right now. I trust CC to make the right call, but wouldnt mind seeing Brinson or Phillips get some regular AB's. 

Knebel only had one pitch last night. Not going to save many games if he cant get his curveball working. Walking Freese was a killer....and then came the bloops.
