They've gone 8-5 since the Big Z/Barrett dustup, including two wins at our place. I'm a little perturbed to have not gained any ground on them during our big series win in Detroit, especially since I think a lot of us expected a bit of a tailspin after that and Ramirez going down. They've got three tough ones this weekend against the Pads(athough they miss Peavy) but a bit of a soft schedule between now and the All-Star Game (although the Crew always plays them tough at Wrigley). How close do you think they will be to the lead by then? I think our schedule should provide some padding of the lead between now and then, personally, but it feels like Pie and Soriano are turning it up a bit. (And yes, I was panicking about the Cards just two weeks ago, too)
