We woulda been the wild card though. True, but those who are overly critcal of Baker think the Cubs would be entitled to a WS appearence in '04 if Wood and Prior were healthy. Even with them out there, the Cubs weren't the best in the division. Cubs beat the Cardinals in the season series in 2004 unless I'm mistaken. And I'd have liked to see any team beat a rotation of Wood, Prior and Z in that year's playoffs. People forget that Wood and Prior were looking as good as they ever have towards the end of that season, and Z had the lowest ERA of the three of them.
