Goofy

Because yesterday was an off day, and the Cubs are in a warm streak, the media is full of "The Cubs are alive with the sound of playoffs" talk.

Well, the Cubs sit 5 loss column games behind 4 teams. If all of the following were to happen...

The Cubs sweep the Rockies...
The Brewers sweep the Astros...
The Dodgers sweep the Marlins...
The Pirates sweep the Phillies...
The Mets take two of three from the Nationals...

...the Cubs would only pick up 2 loss column games.

This playoff talk is insane and only idiots are buying it. I'd love to believe, but buy? I'm not even going near this scenario with a deposit.
