And, this is my biggest concern. As much as I hate the Cubs - and want to see us win as many games as possible from them, I'd almost rather see us lose 3/4 this weekend than to split this series. Splitting this series will do nothing for us. Yes, we'll have a very small percentage of hope remaining, but I just don't see any way we are going to make up 4 games with 20 games to play, especially when none of those remaining games are against the Cubs. As others have already noted - our season basically comes down to these 4 games this weekend. Need to win 3/4 to keep hope alive. Anything less than that, and you can stick a fork in this season. Well I've been looking at it for a few weeks now from the "just keep alive for a few more weeks to keep us entertained" type of view. So at least getting the 2 keeps it alive a bit longer, which I'm all for. Sure, football is here but it's still not something to watch every day. Just keep hanging around, all of a sudden win 4-5 in a row and who knows. Note, I mostly have that type of view for a while as it's pretty clear they have next to no chance to win it all this year. So hey, just keep us entertained a while longer. Last year, you knew if they got in they could win it. We just outplayed the Astros, so I’d say if we get in, throw out the records, and just play ball.
