Their lineup to date is better than the Cubs. I just don't think they are running away with the div., which I loosely define as being 10 games up on Sept. 1. They very well could win it, however. Will it continue to be so once Soriano starts to hit? Having gotten nothing from Soriano, the Brewers have still only scored 5 more runs than the Cubs - 117-112. and will hill, lilly and marquis continue to be three of the best pitchers in the NL? Will Z continue to suck? Will our 5 starter spot continue to put up a 10+ ERA? probably not. so hill, lilly and marquis regress and z and 5th starter improve...probably evens out. which brings the cubs to where they are right now, which is a lot of games behind the brewers.
