That's because they aren't playing the Cubs.

Well the cardinals went 11 and 8 against the cubs this year.....so if I am any good with numbers....that looks like the Cardinals did better overall?

Yes last week when we didn't have Jay, Adams, Holiday or Wainwright playing you did win the series....but they're all back now...

Crap you guys are right...the team with the best record in baseball does suck, sorry I got overly excited.

 

I'll give you something to get excited about. A pythagorean record in the second half worse than the Red Sox. Cubs took 3 of 4 from the Pirates in Pitt, and 4 of 6 from STL this past month...and they sport the best record in MLB since Aug 1.  I sure hope you enjoyed that stellar first half. :)

Is doing better "overall" more relevant than doing better in the second half of the season? The final two months? Or losing 4 out of 6 against us in September? I'm sure if Jay and Adams could replicate those first half OPS's of .576 and .656 respectively those last two Cubs series would have ended up differently!

You guys had a phenomenal first half, that culminated in a stellar season record. Congrats. :)

Cubs are awfully good...what place are they in again?

Anything can happen once the playoffs start. The Cards have won 5% more of their games than the Cubs. Obviously better to win them than lose them, but that would give me little to no confidence that my team was a lock to get to the World Series.

Basically saying baseball is about just getting in and it's all a crapshoot from their. So much luck involved in whether a ball is a high popout or a grand slam.
