What is incredibly frustrating is watching this team play it's best stretch of baseball since early in the year by winning 5 of 6 on this home stand, and not even gaining a game in the standings. Worse yet, they actually LOST a game in the standings. That's really tough to make up any ground when you can win at that clip and it's basically all for naught in the standings. Under normal circumstances a 5-6 stretch probably gains you a minimum of two games. Fortunately, the Cubs aren't as good as their record indicates or as good as they have been playing. Needing to go on the road for 23 of their next 32 should bring them back to reality. Equally important, is that the Brewers continue to win with the next 12-15 being at home. If they play at the same clip in the next 12 as they are right now and go 10-12 and they fail to gain any ground during the Cubs long road trip, then it's probably over as sad as that seems. Fear not, they will gain some ground as the Cubs are mediocre to below mediocre on the road, and if the crew can get this thing to 4 GB or less by the ASB, they should be alright.
