Of course pitching numbers hav A LOT to do with it. I'm just saying that it is ridiculous to think that we can continue to put up the offensive numbers we have been and play .600 ball for any extended period of time. Unless you have yourself convinced that we are going to carry a team ERA of about 3. Do you really think if things stay what they have been that we will stay around .600? I think (and really hope) that we will be a good offensive team, but that ain't happenin right now! And of course all teams play bad teams. That goes without saying. But it helps the Brewers to look better right now when they have only played 13 games and 3 of the wins came against them. And I never said anything about the Cardinals. I don't think they will finish any where near where they are now.
