It's the question right? Can the Cubs make it to the post-season? Absolutely! All they have to do is win out through September and early October and its a lock. Another shocker sports fans, is if they do that we are also talking a division title. But lets come down to earth and deal with a little reality. This team has been pretty much Jekyll and Hyde all season long. So, are they going to keep this torrid pace, or are the going to backslide some? I would hazard a guess that the upcoming series with the Yankees and Dodgers will have some bearing on that matter. Absent of a swan dive at the end like last season I think the team has an outside shot. The competition is a little lighter and the team has been swinging some pretty good bats. Relief pitching has been a little of both lately. The way Lopez blowtorched the end of the first Pirates game made me think that Neris was back. Its achievable, but its going to take some work

Hello! Thanks for listening. 

I am living on hope still, but it is reasonable to be excited that the conversation even exists considering some of the lows this season. 

Candid, Sure, because at the end of the day we are all fans. Every morning we wake up there is always the possibility that our team will do something to make themselves a little better. Of course the opposite is just as true. But, if you have been a Cubs fan for any length of time, you have seen enough of the dark side to just let it happen and not anticipate its arrival. So, its three games against the Reds and then the off-season, where Hoyer's season really heats up. 🙂
