Because of hurricane Ike, the Cubs and Astros will now play two games in Milwaukee. They were supposed to play three in Houston this weekend, but obviously, nobody's playing anything down there right now.
It's ironic that the games are in Milwaukee. If you are a Brewers fan, who do you root for? Your team is chasing the Cubs for the division title, although it's slipping away. The Cubs' lead is up to 6 games and their magic number for clinching the division is 10.
Houston, meanwhile, is on your heels in the wild card race. Philadelphia is a greater concern at the moment because they are the current opponent and only two games back after beating the Brewers last night, but Houston is 2.5 games back.
So, do you want the Cubs to help watch your back in the wild card race, or do you want to hold out those fading hopes for a division title?

I'm a realist. The Cubs need to win to prevent Houston from surging. The Brews must win at least one from Philly today in their DH to stand a chance down the stretch. They are in a huge slump right now.

Yes, they need to take care of their own stuff first.
It looks as if the NL pennant race is a repeat of 2007...
Brewers were front runners most of the year (at least for the WC) and are fading fast in September.
Mets' bullpen is their Achilles' heel. Mets could miss out again in '08.
Phillies are surging and coming on strong behind Ron Howard.
Only item that won't repeat is Colorado's winning 20 out of its last 21 games, but hey, that may never happen again, at least in our lifetimes.
The wild card race should be pretty good. The Cubs might be less than a week away from clinching the division.
