Brewers are for real despite slump

Milwaukee may be 4-8 in its past 12 games, but the Brewers still lead the National League Central by 6 1/2 games. Brewers fans should take heart, considering their best baseball still lies ahead of them.

Not only are the Brewers young, but they are talented. With a solid pitching corps and a weak division to boot, there is no doubt Milwaukee will be in the thick of things all season. And it's a good bet the Brewers will be playing in October for the first time since 1982.
