Alright, I'll update the number. I'm close to checking out, but hey, the Cubs are not mathematically eliminated yet. They're still a 5 more weeks of baseball to play. Anything can happen, right?

Slim chance is the name of the game. Not as slim as winning tonight's $350M Mega Millions, but close. We'd need to see the Cards have a serious skid and the Cubs be close to perfect. I'd draw up some scenarios, but not doing so makes it seem more possible.

I don't think the Cubs have a shot in the Wild Card. Too many teams (4) means one of them will easily be hot enough to stay above the Cubs. So, the focus is on the Central.

Go Cubs! Win out! Either way, dump Bradley. He's such a distraction with his whining and all.

Cubs finally pull one out in SD to avoid the sweep. Unfortunately, St. Louis has kept pace.

51

Cubs are beating the Pirates, as they should be. Two down, one more to go. The Cardinals are not dropping any games, so the Cubs need to just keep winning. This is going to be a long race.

53

ho hummm.

54

Cubs are skidding a little bit. One more game in Denver then back to Wrigley for the Phillies. This could be a tough week.

55

Cardinals drop to the Mets in an early game! Cubs on again tonight against the Reds. GO CUBS!

56

Cubs win another out in Ohio! That new pitcher, Gruzilani or something,rocked! A win well deserved.

GO CUBS!!!

57

Cubs take game one against the Reds on the road. A good start.

As for the last series... Gregg is a problem. He blows two saves, ends up winning on one but losing on the other. We need this guy to straighten up, if possible. If not, perhaps move Marmol into that role. Just a thought.

58

The Cardinals lose to the Astros. Cubs are playing now. Go Cubs!

59

Cubs pull off the win late. Hopefully they'll grab the rubber match game today.
