 It's Only A Flesh Wound!
"I'm not dead yet!"
Monty Python fans know what happened to that guy, and I think we all know what's going to happen to the badly wounded Giants. Six games left, all on the road, all against the two teams who have played us the toughest this year. I think 3-3 is the best we can reasonably hope for. That means the Cubs need to go 2-5 in their last seven for us to win the wild card, and the Astros have to not go 4-2 or better.
Problem is, the Cubs get their final seven games at home. Four are against the lousy Reds, and the last three are against a Braves team who will be resting up for the NLDS. Sure, the Cubs have been playing like they don't want the wild card either. But all other things being equal, the Cubs have a much easier road ahead of them.
Houston has six games left, all at home. Three versus the mighty Cards, and three against the pathetic Rockies. If the Cards rest and reset their rotation for the NLDS, Houston could get a couple games against them.
Bottom line: technically, the Giants are not dead yet. But the bleeding is profuse, the doctor is all liquored up, and the vultures are circling.
I guess I'll have more time to watch the NHL in October this year....what? Locked out? NOOOOOOOOO!
