Or, maybe we’re meant to beat the Nats, and to play the Dodgers in a 5 gamer instead of 7. Remember how much pressure will be on those 2 teams. They are expected to win. Pressure pressure. Dodgers will likely sweep us.
No one did, if you again read the thing, but keep going with this. Well there is a thread created a few days ago saying "Screw Joe.". But sure nobody thinks Joe was trying to sabotage us. Let's go with that.
The Cubs are only 2.5 games behind the Cardinals and have 7 head to head games left. I wouldn’t count them out yet. This season appears to be confirming my annual expectation that it takes about 90 wins to make the playoffs. If a team can win a division or sneak into the second wild card spot with less than 90 wins, it has been just as much lucky as good. Cubs are really falling apart of late. The injuries are really starting to pile up for them as well. I think they're cooked.
