All along we knew that we needed the Cardinals to collapse or at least play mediocre to have a chance. They were bad for awhile but there is no reason to think they won't take at least 2/3 from the Astros this week, which would again force a Brewers sweep to have any chance. I'm not saying it can't be done, the 2007 Rockies made up 3 games in the final 3 days of the season. And crazier things have happened than the Astros sweeping the Cardinals this week. You just never know. But it might be best to ignore the numbers for a few days because they aren't pretty.
