"Playoff Fever 2008: Minus 6"

The Milwaukee Brewers crushed the Cincinnati Reds today, and the Wild Card leading New York Mets collapsed rather embarrassingly to the Braves, so... Milwaukee moves up a game in the Playoff Race. Here's where things stand at the end of today:

National League Wild Card:

Team Name .... W - L ... GB

New York Mets ......... 86 - 69 ... ---- ... (7 games left)
Milwaukee Brewers ... 85 - 71 ... 1.5 ... (6 games left)
Houston Astros ........ 82 - 73 ... 4.0 ... (7 games left)
Florida Marlins .......... 81 - 74 ... 5.0 ... (7 games left)
St. Louis Cardinals ... 80 - 75 ... 6.0 ... (7 games left)

The Brewers have off tomorrow, but then they return to Milwaukee to play three games against the last-place Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Following that, they'll take on what should prove to be an electrifying series against the Chicago Cubs. And if the Crew make mincemeat of the Pirates... you can bet it'll be standing room only for the Cubs! Whoohooo! Go Brewers!
