Rockies were all alone in 1st place just about 10 days ago when they
swept the Giants. Now they're 7 games back. Crazy stuff.
At this rate, the below-average Cubs (40-41) might become WC #2
soon. Nuts!
Catching the Cubs is definitely doable.

Pirates are 2nd to last, but they're only 3 games back of the Cubs.
The NL Central teams are all bunched up together. Even the Pirates
can still easily win the division at this point being only 5 games
back of the Brewers.

It might not be necessary to get back to average stats. Last year
their offense were below average and they made the playoff. But
their bats do need to get hot to compensate for weaker pitching this
year. Last year they actually had very good pitching despite the
bullpen collapses.
Well, at least things now look interesting. Less than 2 weeks ago
they looked hopeless and disgusting. :-)
