    I'd wager large on the yes side.

    No chance cubs make playoffs. They are not even at .500 plus they are too far behind Arizona and Colorado for the wild card

    Gotta laugh at anyone saying no chance at a team that is still -200 to win its division

    They could catch Milwaukee, I just don't see them catching AZ or CO for wildcard

    OK, but that's not what you said a few hours ago -- "No chance cubs make playoffs"

    d2bets, You're right I did say that. The Cubs have just been playing so bad this year, I just don't see them as a playoff team, but they could still make the playoffs if they turn it around in the 2nd half. It seems that so many of their key players from last year are having a disappointing season this year.

    Haha, this reminded me of the thread where I exposed jtoler (cooperman with the silly point awarding too)

    I said it then, I say it now, they are in way bigger trouble than any of you can imagine. Milwaukee is a better team this year.

    Cubs 13-3 since ASB and up 2.5. Does anyone actually think Cubs won't win the division?

    Cubs going back to the world series. It's like when the Yankees used to fukk around and give other teams home field only to slap them around in the playoffs. Hi lad.

    If only the Cards had a bullpen that would help them stop blowing leads. Really, that's all it takes and we'd be leading the division by multiple games at this point. Cubs are hot but will surely cool off some.

    They're going to win the division. It's always up-for-grabs from there, but the Cubs 1-4 (Lester, Quintana, Arrieta, Hendricks - maybe not in that order) can match up with any team.

    Even though, their record has gotten better, I'm not very impressed and I see them only winning one playoff series at most unless something changes in the next couple of months.

    Cubs are adding from Tigers Justin Wilson to bullpen and Alex Avila as back catcher. Solid adds.

First 12
