Milwaukee is in a really good spot Unless they moved the city recently, that's not true at all. I know this was meant as a joke but as a history major it struck a cord with me. Milwaukee was a major port located where it was because major winter storm patterns tend to make it milder than the rest of the area. It also had access to a lot of indian tribes and a lot of natural resources. Out of all of the cities in the country the spot MIlwaukee is located in is easily top 10% for usefulness. Chicago by itself was not very useful outside of the canals, it brings almost nothing good where it is located from a pure resource standpoint. It is a very natural travel hub as travel to more useful areas all went through the middle of the illinois. That is why it developed into a large city. People used it to get somewhere else and eventually people lived there just to live off of people moving somewhere more useful. That obviously also makes it a very useful location for both railroads and river barges.

The Brewers #1 starter missed the entire season. Their #3 starter missed over half of the season, their #5 starter missed over half of the season, their #6 starter missed over half of the season, their #7 starter missed over half of the season. Their closer missed a big chunk of the season. 5 of their top 7 bullpen arms were on the DL at some point. Their entire OF spent time on the DL. Their SS had the worst season of anyone I remember in recent history. Their top 3 catchers all missed significant parts of the season. At one point the Brewers had 16 players on the DL which led to them losing 7 of 8 games right before the break. The Cubs do not stand out as a team that had it particularly hard overall this season, teams suffer all kinds of setbacks.
