Central Division Losers

I've lost track of the number of weeks, but for quite a while now both the Cubs and the Brewers have hovered around first place in the NL Central Division by equaling each other at the task of losing games. They did it again Friday.

The Cubs looked downright bad in their loss to the Pirates, but never mind. Cincinnati pounded the Brewers 11-4.

But wait. What about the St. Louis Cardinals?

The Cards have been inching upwards for about a century, and today they could have moved into a tie for first. What did they do? They lost to Arizona.

Losing to Arizona is like losing to a sandstorm. You lose because of low visibility. Arizona doesn't even deserve a major league baseball team. The only thing Arizona can do is keep St. Louis hovering around first place.
