Well it wouldnt make sense to deal for someone that won't be on the playoff roster One could argue that yesterday it didn't make sense to deal for someone who would !!! :D

Stick around, Vance..... I'll tell ya what's going on !! :wink:

Found this in MLB PressPass. Found it mildly surprising.

There were still a couple of games going on last night when I posted this, so here's the updated wild card race..... just in case you haven't seen it elsewhere......... Team W L Pct GB San Diego 74 60 0.552 --- Arizona 75 61 0.551 --- Philadelphia 72 62 0.537 2.0 Los Angeles 70 64 0.522 4.0 Colorado 69 65 0.515 5.0 CUBS 68 65 0.511 5.5 Atlanta 69 66 0.511 5.5 Milwaukee 67 67 0.500 7.0 St. Louis 65 66 0.496 7.5 Cincinnati 62 73 0.459 12.5 San Francisco 61 73 0.455 13.0

OK, I picked up a load this evening for Jackson, MS...... but I don't leave town with it until Monday. Sorry.... that was the best I could do. Are you heading this way after Jackson? Well, they didn't hook me up with anything yesterday before they went home for the weekend...... so at this point I figure they could send me in 4 different directions, and one of those is west. So I'd say it's about a 25% chance I'll be heading through Monroe on Tues.

Let it go. The tighter you cling to your hopes, the more it'll hurt in the end. You're so young to be so cynical !! You don't have to be old in order to be old enough for this team to have made you eternally cynical. You saw the teams of the 50s and early 60s, so I'm sure you reached this level of Cub cynicism at a much earlier age. Nah.... I learned to drink :bluekoolaid: at a very early age.

Let it go. The tighter you cling to your hopes, the more it'll hurt in the end. You're so young to be so cynical !!
