August 8, 200422 yr the only way in is the WC now 8 back behind the Braves is virtually impossible need the Cubs to lose tonight or we go 6.5 out
August 8, 200422 yr The division is something that is there, but forget about looking at it. If the Braves start a tailspin, then you can start to look at it again. The Cubs must lose tonight.
August 8, 200422 yr hopefully the dodgers will comeback against philly and the pads will lose while the cubs lose so we wont lose ground to anyone (well except sf)
August 8, 200422 yr we should pretty much forget about the division and we are barely hanging on to wild card hopes
August 8, 200422 yr the only way in is the WC now 8 back behind the Braves is virtually impossible need the Cubs to lose tonight or we go 6.5 out 502461[/snapback] Yep, we had to keep pace while playing the Brewers. Next up for us is the Cardinals while the Braves host the Brewers. Good chance we will be 9 or 10 games back after this series.
August 8, 200422 yr we have no chance at this point against the braves lets hope we are a better team than the cubs
August 8, 200422 yr We have 2 paths to the playoffs: 1) The division 2) The wildcard You cannot give up on either, but you cannot live on them. Neither is ours and we must earn them. Now who believes this team could make the playoffs either way? I believe we can.
August 8, 200422 yr The Wild Card seems the best chance now. The good news is that we are going to play all of the contenders, so it is in our hands. We are just going to have to start winning again like we did in April. We can't let up and we can't afford to have more games like today where the offense doesn't produce.

Schedule is pretty similar to April.
August 8, 200422 yr 8 back behind the Braves is virtually impossible 502461[/snapback] The marlins have 6 games against the Braves left. If they win all six, it is not "virtually impossible"
August 8, 200422 yr we couldn't beat the Braves when they sucked and we were hot so i wouldn't count on sweeping 6 from them now that they're healthy and good. I'm afraid we've pissed away the playoffs against the pirates, expos, and Dbacks.

August 8, 200422 yr I hope LoDuca's hand is better when we play the Cards. 502542[/snapback] Same with Benitez and his elbow.
August 8, 200422 yr IMO we're not going to win the division..BUT there is hope to win the wild card. And honestly, I'm content with the thought of winning the wild card because we all know our history with it
August 8, 200422 yr The Cubs have a better team than the Braves, and the Braves are due for a loosing streak.
August 8, 200422 yr You never know what could happen, right now gotta look towards the wild card, but for all we know Braves could forget how to play baseball and lose 5 in a row anything can happen. Especially with 6 head to heads against them. Don't we have 6 with the Cubbioes too?
August 9, 200422 yr I hope LoDuca's hand is better when we play the Cards. 502542[/snapback] He has Monday to rest too!
August 9, 200422 yr I hope LoDuca's hand is better when we play the Cards. 502542[/snapback] He has Monday to rest too! 502666[/snapback] I saw a report today that said LoDuca was available if necessary. I'm sure they wanted to give him 3 days rest with the off day tomorrow. I'm sure he would have been a better choice than Harris, and am wondering why Jack didn't use him.
August 9, 200422 yr the only way in is the WC now 8 back behind the Braves is virtually impossible need the Cubs to lose tonight or we go 6.5 out 502461[/snapback] Agreed 100%
