[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1395880, member: 588522"] I was waiting for someone to argue that ;). I knew they were off to a rough start, but it feels weird to worry about the Braves and Phillies contending for the pennant. Personally, I'm not worried about the Cubs missing the playoffs, but the Brewers are looking more and more like a real threat to win the division. Cards are too up and down. There's way to much season left, but the improvement of Almora, Baez, and Schwarber (even Zobrist is having a good year, heck Russell is looking up), the continued success of Bryant and Contreras, and the eventual mean regression of Rizzo make this one of the most complete offensives in the game. Offense is not my worry. The cubs have given up the least amount of runs in the league. There Pythag record is like 5 wins more than what they currently have. This is a really good baseball team, probably the best in the NL. I think another bullpen arm needs to step up. The Wilson experiment needs to end. And like I said before, Q and Yu need to show they can be reliable 3/4 starters. Chatwood has been a good 5 so far, better than the previously mentioned two. [/QUOTE]
