Now 1.5 games out of the WC, 6.0 games out of the division lead.
With just 30 games left in the season, I'd be surprised to see them get the division, leaving just the WC up for grabs.

I'm not very optimistic anymore though.
About the only thing keeping me optimistic is the remaining slate of games after Labor Day, but they might fall too far by then to make a big difference.

Thank goodness for football being back.

I'm not saying at this point all hope is lost, however.

The Phillies are looking like a solid lock for WC. So that leaves 5 teams fighting for 2 spots. Marlins 66-65, Cubs 69-61, D'backs 69-62, Giants 67-63.

And Reds 68-64

The Cubs have basically been on fire!! In August thus far they're 16-8. Barring a major turnaround I'd bet they're gonna be in. So that leaves us vs. Giants, D'backs, and Marlins for last spot. So there is a bit of a chance, but.

This series starting tonight is crucial for us. We have to pull off a couple wins or it's going to get very dicey making a run.

Sure wish Greene's ERA wasn't 17.55 in his 2 games back. I'd feel much better if he was doing good.
