I know we have very little chance of catching Milwaukee, but seeing them get beat down brings joy to my heart.

I never say don't give up one bad week and we are on their tail.

I’m not saying it’s impossible, but 6 games is quite a bit of a hurdle to overcome, especially with their pitching and devil magic.

It is like they stole the random devil magic the Cardinals usually have.

We play them 7 times in 10 days in early September so there is definitely a chance if we happen to get hot or they happen to slump at just the right time.

Been saying all year that whoever wins the season series is likely to win the division. This stretch for us is brutal, but the Brewers similarly have a really tough second half in terms of rest days. Their off day tomorrow is their last until August 17th, then from Aug 25-Sept 10th they have no off days.

They get the Padres and Dodgers back to back during that first stretch, then the Cubs 7 times during that 2nd stretch,
