Bye Bye Redbirds

Astonishing. That would be a word to describe the tear through the National League that the Brewers are on.
Milwaukee has won 24 of 28 and have buried the second place Cardinals. St. Louis has won just 5 of their last 14 games and sits 10-games out in the Central.
The crazy thing about the Brewers is their home and away splits.
At Miller Park, the Brew Crew is nearly unbeatable, having won 47 while dropping just 16. On the road, Milwaukee is an uninspiring 31-37. However, Milwaukee has won 10 of their last 12 road games heading into this afternoon's tilt with the Pirates.
They are learning how to win on the road, they are getting tremendous pitching and with the way they play at home could be a real force come October. Maybe we should just give the NL pennant to the Phillies just yet.
Plus, with attendance booming and a contending ballclub, maybe free agent to be Prince Fielder will give increased consideration to staying in Milwaukee. I don't think that he will but you never know what a player is thinking.
As for the Cardinals? Another disappointing season and next year they probably won't have Tony LaRussa back as manager and Albert Pujols could be wearing another jersey. Things don't look so good these days in St. Louis do they?
