Ryan Ludwick got his first official All Star at bat in the 8th inning on Tuesday night. When he stepped to the plate, astute Cardinals fans noticed something out of the ordinary on the St. Louis slugger.
His head looked a *bit* brighter than usual. Since the game was hosted at an American League venue - all National League reps wore their respective road uniforms. On the road, the Cardinals wear navy blue helmets to match the navy blue hats they wear in the field.

The Ludwick helmet also appeared to be a different shade of red - a brighter shade that exists throughout the Cardinals' logo. The helmet logo also looked a little, um, cheap.

How many games will the Cubs win?
I'm going to post the math behind this later on, but thought I would just throw it out there right now to see what you guys think. Using Tango's WAR (Wins Above Replacement) formulas and the in-season ZIPS projection tool, I calculated how many wins above replacement the Cubs 8 starting position players and 5 starters would contribute over the rest of the season.

How many games will the Brewers win?
Tyger asked if I could do the Brewers and Cardinals like I did the Cubs earlier today. I probably won't get to the Cardinals until tomorrow at the earliest, but I did do the Brewers who everybody seems to think is the Cubs toughest competitor in the NL Central.
