Are the wheels starting to fall off in Milwaukee?
No. But it is getting less likely that the Brewers will be making a run at the divisional crown. The hated cubbies maintain a 4 game lead. Chicago has lost 7 of their last 8 games, but Milwaukee has been unable to close the gap. The Brewers have now lost 5 of their last 7.
As for the Wild Card, things are getting a little more interesting. As I write this, the Brewers hold a 3 1/2 game lead on the Phillies (who are playing the Mets right now). The Cardinals are 5 games back, and the Astros, 6 games back, have made themselves relevant again.
Milwaukee hosts Cincinnati next (3 games), and then heads to Philadelphia for a very important 4-game road series. The Brewers need to win the series against the Reds, and at least split against the Phillies. A series win against Philadelphia would really send a message though.
Here's the week ahead for the Brewers' competitors:
-cubs: 3 games at St. Louis, 3 games at Houston
-Phillies: 3 games vs. Florida, 4 games vs. Milwaukee
-Cardinals: 3 games vs. Chicago, 3 games at Pittsburgh
-Astros: 4 games vs. Pittsburgh, 3 games vs. Chicago

I joked during the 3rd inning that Young would throw a perfect game. After the 23rd consecutive batter was out, I bought a lottery ticket.
