if you get swept by the cubs you do not deserve to be in the playoffs

They're two games under .500.

 

weren't they only like 3.5 or 4 back when this series started?

They're only 7 or 7.5 back now, so that seems likely.

I know we're out of it and have been out of it for some time now, but it's finally good to see the Cubs winning and playing good ball.

Five in a row? Unpossible.

8-5 in our last 13. That's actually kind of decent, despite the ugly 5 game losing streak.

That's a 100-win pace. I'd say that's better than "kind of decent."

No three game winning streaks in the first 3 1/2 months and then they have a three and a five game streak in the span of two weeks. Amazing.
