Well I think everyone here would rather win the division than be in the one game Wild Card fluke. That's not the point though. The point is, right now the Cubs have a better chance at missing the playoffs than winning the division.

Over on soxtalk.com, they do separate threads for MLB discussion, AL Central discussion, and Cubs discussion and it always is hilarious to me how the Cubs discussion is 49(!!!) pages longer than the other threads: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showforum=39

The first two sentences are meaningless nonsense (this team is what it is today and the last 7 years mean absolutely nothing) and nobody is denying the last two. Agree with this, mostly because seven years isn't really that long. If this were 1984 and they hadn't been there in decades, OK, making the playoffs is pretty big for the franchise. Oh I know it's not that long but we've endured 100 loss seasons and top 10 picks for the last 5 years. Making the playoffs is a huge accomplishment.

Making the playoffs is more important than the division right now and their odds of missing the playoffs are much higher than their odds of winning the division. We get down to the last 2 weeks and the division lead is down to 5 games or less, then I'm all for it but let's build our playoff lead first.

mediocre night Whatever you say. The Cubs just moved a half game closer to making the playoffs and a half game closer to hosting a playoff game. yes, the giants catching the cubs is more likely than the cubs catching the cardinals, but you treat one like it really matters a lot and the other like it's a complete impossibility that should be disregarded. why is that? If the playoffs are just a crap shoot, then all I care about is making them. So I agree with him. The Giants losing means a much greater deal to me than the Cardinals winning. They haven't made the playoffs in 7 years and nobody had them making the playoffs at this stage of their rebuilding project. Just making the playoffs is a total win for this team for where they're at. And yes, the playoffs are a crapshoot so just making the playoffs gives you a chance at winning it all. Go look at the Royals and Giants last year.

One is 4 games, the other is 8. The team 4 behind you has won 3 World Series in the last 6 years. The team 8 ahead of you has a horseshoe up their ass and has for their franchise history.

They're like dead silent on the D'Backs broadcast lol. Even the announcers are mentioning it.

D'Backs 4 Pirates 1 Top 9

Why?
-
Nice Diamondbacks get out of it.

[expletive] the Cardinals but they're almost a lock for 100 wins
-
You'd probably need to win them all and we all know that's not happening.
-
If the Cardinals go 1 under .500 the rest of the way (unlikely), they'll finish 97-65. The Cubs would need to go 30-16 the rest of the way to match that.
-
7.5 behind the Cardinals who won't choke away that lead and only 3.5 ahead of the Giants to get into the playoffs. Let's just get in.
-
I'm cheering for the giants That's dumb
-
Yadier Molina HR 1-0 Cardinals
-
Damn we lost the Arrieta trade
-
That sucks
-
Just realized that Gerrit Cole is pitching too. Would be really nice if they could pick up a loss with him on the mound.
