The TV announcers keep talking about the difficult road trip which is now upon us...3 @ Colorado, 3@ San Francisco, 3@ LA Dodgers. In the same time period the Cubs have: 1 vs Cincinnati 3 vs. Toronto 3@ Cincinnati 3@ Philadelphia The Cardinals have: 4@ Pittsburgh (1 actually at Williamsport PA) 3 vs San Diego 3 vs. Tampa What will the standings look like as the crew returns home after the trip? I can't see the Brewers doing better than 4-5, 1 win in Colorado, 2 in SF, 1 in LA. Cubs go 7-3, winning today and the 2/3 in each series. Cards go 6-4, split with pirates, 2/3 in the other series. That leaves us 4.5 behind the cubs and .5 behind the Cardinals on August 28. Your thoughts?
