They weren't going to win out. You know that. You're not wrong, but neither is he. 2 GB with 11 to play is just a lot different place to be than 3 GB with 10 to play. It's not impossible, but tough ask. Cardinals are a very good team. Them beating Scherzer was kind of the tough blow today. You go into today liking the chances to gain ground and end up dropping one instead. We can beat the Nats in a 1 game, as the Cardinals showed today Scherzer can be beat. The Cardinals also go into a four gamer in a very tough place to play tomorrow. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Cards drop 3 of 4. If the Brewers win tomorrow and take care of business against the Pirates this weekend, they could very well go into the off day Monday near the top of the division. The Cubs and Cards will share 7 losses in some way in the next week and a half. If the Cards stumble this weekend, the division is still very much in play.
