All this said... We need to at the least split today and tomorrow or the division will be a severe uphill climb (though it already is, cause, Cubs). We are in fantastic shape in the wild card, with games in hand... using the variable games behind proposed here, and actual games behind, as well as games in hand. We just need to watch out for St Louis - like always. I wish they would just go away like they were supposed to... sigh. It's like they always say - take care of your own business and things will happen for you. We need to win series after series, and avoid another big losing streak , and at the very least we will have a play in wild card game.
