I never said I'd settle. I still think we'll eek out the division. But frankly, if we do, we play the Dodgers in the opening round, and they're on fire, so I'm not sure who I want, them or the Cubs. Well, being a true fan, I still want the division, so bring 'em on.
All kidding aside, the Marlins are hot. I think they'll cool off the Phils this weekend.
I agree it's a tough call on whom to play. The Dodgers swept the Phillies in 4 games in LA and 2 weeks later the Phils swept 4 from the Dodgers which is odd. The Cubs are a bit more balanced than the Dodgers, so I think I'd rather play LA. Plus, the NL East Division winner will have home field.
The Marlins are indeed hot as are the Phillies. I'm hoping for two out of three with tonight's game being the most important as Brett Myers is on the mound.
The Phillies end the season with six home games against the Braves and Nationals. I'll be at Saturday night's game, kind of hoping it is the division clincher.
I know the Mets finish with the Marlins, who really enjoyed knocking the Mets out of the postseason last year and would love to do it again.
The Brewers have to be shell shocked by last night's loss. The only thing they have going for them is they finish with the Reds and Pirates. I'll hold off on declaring them dead.
