'08 vs '07, a snapshot

[obobo55]

2007
Milwaukee	52	40	.565	-	33-14	19-26	446	405	+41
Chicago Cubs	48	43	.527	3.5	24-21	24-22	421	379	+42

2008 Chicago Cubs	55	37	.598	-	35-11	20-26	494	389	+105
Milwaukee	51	41	.554	4	30-15	21-26	430	411	+19

1 game overall difference. Over 92 games we had scored 16 more runs and given up 6 less. A bit better last year at home, but a bit worse on the road. The real difference is the Cubs have put up 73 more runs and are 6 1/2 games better than they were last year.

 

With the addition of CC, Parra, and hopefully a healthy Sheets--not to mention an extra year of experience for our young team--one would think we will hold up better down the stretch.

Abbott's career BA is higher than Sheets. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I remember last year in June when the Cubs got hot we went to Chicago to play them and they took 2 out of 3 from us, it was kind of a statement that they were not going away.

 

Well.. 1 year and 1 month later we are on a "hot streak" and I look to the end of the month and they are coming here for 4 games.

 

Baseball is a funny game sometimes.

I don't care if there are no dramatics...I'll be satisfied with taking 3 of 4 from them
