The National League, hopefully, these guys won’t be as boring as hell come playoff time.

And since the road for the 2008 MLB World Series is about to begin once the postseason arrive, NL teams in the MLB are hoping to make some noise, looking to own a championship ring once the dust settles.

One of these teams is of course, the Arizona Diamondbacks. These guys should be fine as long as Brandon Webb is there to win games for ‘em. The D-Backs are probably this year’s counterpart of the Tampa Bay Rays in terms of shock factor since nobody expected them to be this good this year either.

Only time will tell if they can continue their Cinderella run.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, on the other hand, are simply too inconsistent to catch the top dogs although they still have a shot of making it to the playoffs. And it might even be a close fight to the finish although it still depends if the Dodgers can get hot in the final month.

The Chicago Cubs is also one of the teams from the National League who have shocked baseball fans across the country. The Cubs are perhaps the most complete team in the NL and quite possibly, the entire league. They have great team chemistry, depth, pitching and offense. They can never be counted out of games no matter what the score is and they’re next to impossible to beat at home.

You can’t say that of the Cubs a couple of years ago.

The Milwaukee Brewers should be a shoo-in for a wild card slot in the National League. They are, without a shadow of a doubt, the 2nd most complete team in the NL. They have a high powered offense that is capable of putting up 8 runs every game.

While the addition of CC Sabathia was huge for them, their pitching staff still has question marks and their bullpen is pretty much garbage. This is also why CC has pitched five complete games since coming to the Brewers.

But since it’s working, no one is complaining. YET.
