On July 27th, the Brewers were 4 games back in the division, and 5 GB for the wild card. Rickie Weeks was out for the year, and the pitching staff in shambles with Bush on the DL, Suppan was having problems as he was put on the DL days later. Did anyone really think the Brewers had a shot at the playoffs at that time. I do admit I thought the Cubs would run away with it by getting Derrek Lee healthy, and I also thout Zambrano would turn it around.
