But then, we don't have to be a great team to make the playoffs. We only have to stay ahead of a group of teams losing altitude in a hurry.

Having said that, I still think St. Louis wins the Central, presuming Pujols isn't out longer than predicted.

The one glimmer of hope I see for this team is that, despite their good record, they do have quite a few players playing under their potential and norms. No better example than Harang last night -- his DIPS ERA is actually lower than his actual ERA at this point. If Hume & Co. could just figure out what the hell is wrong with Brandon Claussen (other than the apparent lack of ability), the team could possibly even weather Eric Milton's eventual plunge back into the toilet.

by definition, increased expectations prevent overachievement
