Wootage! Look out, WE, here we come! Go D-backs. Man, this is going to be a bitter battle until the very end.
this is painful. I think I would rather be coming from behind than trying to fight a team off (which is where I thought the race would be right now), but we are where we are.
the NL west went to a 1 game playoff last season. I didn't see any reason why this year would be a cake walk for anyone. thus, the name of this thread.
Oh, no... you don't want to be down two games with just six to play. Take it from someone who's missed the playoffs by a game or two way too many times recently, you'd rather be right where you are right now. When the Cards won the WS in '06, we finished the season with a better record than them, but missed the postseason by a game. UGH! No, looking up at someone ain't no fun.
that is probably just a reflection of how unhappy I am right now with them breathing down out necks.
LA is actually better off than I thought they would be right now. last month, I thought it would come down to the last week, but I was thinking that we would be trailing right now, and that the Az series in StL would be the Dodgers' one decent shot at the end to make up some ground.
finishing the season at SF is weighing more and more heavily upon me. throw the standings out the window when LA and SF play at the end of the season, and one team has an opportunity to send the other team home for the postseason.
