Wow! Right now, they're virtually tied with the Cubs, so there's no "catching" to do yet! Come on people, we're not behind the Cubs! But in all fairness, I know what you meant.
Actually, I'm waiting until the end of the weekend (Aug 5th) to even have any kind of prediction. I truly believe the picture will be somewhat more clear by then...if that makes sensehttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif. Right now, I really don't know what to say about their playoff chances.
I think if the Cubs' and Brewers' positions were reversed, the national media would be pulling just as hard for the Brewers to make a race of it. Covering pennant races that end in July kind of sucks in August and September. I doubt it! The National Media would be all over the Cubs!!! The Brewers would be just a blip on the radar screen.
