Comedy/Tragedy of Errors...Depends Who You Ask
The Cubs swept a four game-set in Milwaukee this week. Honestly, the Brewers looked like a team that could hang with the Cubs going into this series, and I still believe they have the talent. Unfortunately for them, they did not rise to the challenge this week. As an amateur sabremetrician, I want to say that it was a small sample size, but it's hard to ignore the amount of errors and miscues the Brew Crew committed all week long. I think we can chalk this sweep up to some sort of psychological problem. Did their hands get sweaty and their knees lock up at the thought of a big time series? Its July, this team does not seem ready for the big stage. The Cubs on the other hand, finally looked like they could win on the road. I know there are two months left of the season, but damn do their chances look good right now.

Let's be honest, the only stage the Brewers will be playing on come October is the Chucky Cheese stage with those dumb ass mechanical animals while Prince Fielder shoves his face in with pizza.
