So here's this: I can see 'em winning 8 of the next 10 and getting that confidence back...sweeping teams and taking 2 of 3 from others. I hate to be a broken record, but Soriano not playing is the greatest addition by subtraction ever. His worthless ass being off the field HAS to pump up the guys that are producing. And don't think for a second that he has an ailment. Hendry can't make the 100 million dollar man seem like a FO mistake. He just shudda did it a month ago. (sit him) Stop it. You're going to make people think you actually believe this hogwash. Is it possible the cubs can go on a nice little winning streak here? Sure. Their remaining schedule is by no means impossible, but we're still EIGHT games back with only 24 left to play. We literally have less than a ONE percent chance of making the playoffs at this point. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/statistics/ps_odds.php LOL....now you got me doubting my own unrealistic hopes. You are probably right. If we don't catch Fla by tuesday, I will STFU. Are you sure your not a Cards fan trying to mess with us? I am surprised it took you guys this long to figure out. Rockies play 6 against SD, 3 against LA, 3 against SF, 3 against ARI, 3 against MIL and 3 against STL. If they go 10-12 rest of the season, Cubs will have to go 19-5 to force one game playoff. Is it possible? Yes. Probable, No. But crazy things have happened so....
