Well, you just got it. Things change. Circumstances are different. I haven't changed my beliefs about any teams in the division, but obviously things can change with a month of results. Well, this sucks. But respect you for not hanging onto previous predictions out of pride. This also means my prediction doesn't look quite as funny anymore. Predictions can change. When I thought we'd be resting guys for a week, I figured we'd be about even at the All-Star break. Fast forward to us being 5.5 back, and, well, that chops off about a week from when I predicted we'd clinch the division. Those 5.5 games matter. So, yes, the longer we go, and the more ground we lose, I'm not hanging onto a prediction out of "pride." Things can and often do make you re-evaluate what you thought you knew. Before the season, I thought we'd win the division by like 50 games. You said yourself in this thread that you never thought you'd see us at this point at the break. Obviously, things changed to make you change your mind. That said, the Brewers still do suck.
