What to Think

With 33 games to go, there is a three way tie in the loss column between the Cubs, Stros and St. Loser. Effectively all tied up. All three teams are on a pace to win 84 games. Are they really in contention? If they eek out a division title, can a team win a playoff series with 84 wins? My survey says only the Twins came close, and they had 87. And what's the rotation going in? Can Prior/Zambrano win 3 games out of 5 and 4 out of 7? Can Wood/Clement (these guys are the same pitcher) be counted on for long relief or just comic relief?

Other pressing questions:

Does Wendell Kim get replaced for finally getting a player hurt (Womack)?
Does Juan Cruz get activated for his September 2nd start by August 31st making him playoff eligible?
Who bats second the rest of the way? Womack or A Gonz?
And what about Naomi?
