Ok, you can point to the NL Central overall W/L records, but do you really believe that the NL Central is the best division in MLB?
Do you believe that the NL Central is better than the AL East, West or even the Central?
Bear in mind that the NL Central, “the best division in MLB,” has a 42-51 record against the AL. And the Cards, Brewers and Cubs all have losing records to the AL. Only the Reds managed to walk away from interleague with a winning record.
NL Central best in the NL? Sure.

For all the Derrik Lee lovers....
In a lot more at bats….his RBI totals are up there with guys like Rick Ankiel, Corey heart, Jorge Cantu, Xavier Nady…and it isn’t like there isn’t anyone out there on base for him to drive in…......
True all star hitting at that spot in this lineup ought to be leading MLB…leat alone the NL…..

Sadly this season is feeling a lot like the 07 brewers
Start out extremely hot with a nice sized division lead the pressure of being the “hunted” closes down on us and the hunters swoop right in and take the division lead and if im not mistaken this is around the time last year that we took over first place from the brewers
