They were 6.5 out That, and this is just kind of a weird post in general. It's not like people were losing their minds over the Cubs getting to 6.5 out when the Cubs were, like, a dozen games up on them. The Cardinals were literally at 6.5 games out. Yes and I thought it was funny then to be worried about potentially having a much worse team within 6.5 games (which, yes, ultimately came to fruition for a bit, which changes nothing about what I'm saying) and it's still funny. Oh, my God, six and a half games ?! What's weird is how defensive you are about a playful comment (hell, I wasn't even thinking of you as one of those posters but you might've been) making fun of how bleak it was getting around here a couple weeks ago. Hell, the Cardinals were probably rooting for the Cubs this week.
