Like many of said, the offense is horrible and it needs to be fixed or the players need to figure it out. Despite that, the Cubs have a 5 game lead in the loss column for the 2nd wild card.
What really makes me sick is that Cardinals fans don't even view the Cubs as a threat. They expect the Cardinals to beat the Cubs and it's considered just business as usual. Even if the Cubs pulled off a miraculous, late inning win tonight, Cardinals fans would laugh and see a 9.5 game lead.
