I personally will be rooting for the Cardinals to win all 9 games. That would mean if we went 4-5 over that stretch, we would still be tied for the wild card spot (assuming nobody from the East goes 7-2 over that time) I know that is not realistic, but I am not giving up on the division yet, and the closer we can get to the Cubs the better I will feel. I definately can see why one would want to get rid of the Cardinals, and obviously the Cubs winning all 9 games would increase our chances of making the playoffs. With that said, I want to set our self up for the best chances to reach the World Series and winning the division in my mind makes that goal more obtainable.
