I really don't know if this team can hang in there another month. I'd already bet strongly against them finishing ahead of the Cubs or Cardinals, meaning that have to hold off every other non division winner in the NL. Since the trade deadline, we have lost ground on the Cubs, Diamondbacks, Rockies, Dodgers, Cardinals, and Braves, and are even with the Phillies. To rephrase: every single contender in the NL has been playing better baseball than us, and if that continues in September we are in serious trouble of blowing yet another shot at postseason baseball.
