Perhaps, but I understand his point. It's a double-edged sword with the Cubs and Cards playing each other so much. One of them is always going to lose, so that's obviously good. But to pass the Cards, we likely need the Cubs to dominate them. That, then, would make it tough to pass the Cubs for the division. Clearly, if somehow we win out or only lose once, we could still jump everyone, but I wouldn't expect it. Here would be the really fun scenario: Tonight: Brewers win, Cubs lose Tomorrow: Brewers win, Cubs win Friday: Brewers win, Cubs win, Nats lose Take the Wild Card lead, pull into a tie with the Cards for the division, and a game ahead of the Cubs with 8 games left. That would make for a very entertaining final week.
