I haven't been real positive of the entire season and lately especially, however the only thing that has kept me from thoroughly throwing in the towel was the knowledge that we still have a ton of games left with both the Cards and Stros. Even if the playoffs aren't likely, the opportunity to play spoiler still gives me reason to see the Cubs win. The funny thing is, we only lost 2.5 games in the Wild Card in believe during our 8 game slide. The Astros could have burried us, but they didnt. Maybe that is them returning the favor for last year?
