Cubs are still the team to beat in N.L. (lock for wild card!)

The Wild card is all over in the National League...Cubs will pull away!

Atl
St louis
L.A.
Cubs

These 4 teams are in ...it will take a serious meltdown for any of these teams to not get in...Philly may be the only team who can sneak past the division leader....

Cubs vs St.Louis in NL Championship ???

dont jinx the braves jman.. I still fear the marlins more than the phils.. also dont know if LA will hold on, plenty of more baseball left. Only thing thats sealed is the cards.. did you know the braves are 17-5 since allstar game?

Bobby Cox best job SSI...and John Shuerholtz too, and thats saying alot.

I am more pointing out that the Central teams are locks, Cubs will walk away with the Wild Card now...

Nobody else home out West....Braves are the only team with a legit possibilty of not holding on IMO..unless a complete meltdown happens... I have never seen things look so secure this early since the Wild Card started.

LOL Sportsbet, did you ever think you'd miss Mesa?

Journey,

Well Jose IMO still stinks

(A. he's a Pirate and B. he's a Pirate lol) but it would be nice to have Wagner and Madson. Those two are pretty much the best two arms we have in there.

The rest are

Cubs are lock for Wild card,I'm not sold on Braves and believe we haven't seen the end of the Marlins and Phillies.Padres could catch Dodgers. Penny went out in 1st inning today,anybody no what happened ?I give Braves credit from pitching coach,still believe Cox is overrated. Cubs vs. Cards would be fun in Oct.
