Wild Card Preference

I don't see the Cards making it to the playoffs this year.

Anyone but AZ or Florida. Haren and Webb are money (although we beat Haren at Wrigley earlier this year) and we can't beat the Marlins no matter what we do, it seems.

 

And AZ would throw Johnson at us in the deciding game and we'd be screwed in that case.

 

To get full justice going through Arizona and then Florida would help getting over the past couple of playoffs the Cubs were in.

 

True, but we can't beat either team to save our lives, especially on the road. Yes, we swept AZ in that series, but we missed Webb. That was probably a big factor.

 

I guess this upcoming weekend series will be a big test.

Assuming we are still ahead in the division later in the year, will we see any sort of celebration when we clinch the wild card? Will we wait till we clinch the division (which may or may not ultimately happen)? Will it be odd to celebrate at that point because a playoff spot was already locked up or whatever?

 

What if they clinch the wild card, don't celebrate, and then wind up not winning the division?

 

 

Just thinking aloud. Me and my buddy were sort of wondering aloud about it last night at the bar. How have teams handled that in the past?

I think it would be weird to celebrate clinching the Wild Card if we're in first place when that happens.

I do too.
