I made the comparison between the 2008 Brewers and 2004 Cubs about a month ago. Both teams had a crappy bullpen, crappy defense, and both teams relied on an all or nothing home run offense. Watching the Brewers flail at every pitch within 10 feet on the plate all week reminds me so much of the 2004 Cubs offense. Ultimately, the bullpen and offense ended up costing the 2004 team.
