Our team is significantly better than any in our division. Of course that doesn't mean its a given, but unless we have some major problems or completely shit the bed, this team will be in the playoffs.
That said I agree that as we stand right now, we are slightly worse than last year.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Bingo. I can't see any of those teams winning 85 games if they get the max out of their talent even. And let's face it, the Cards got max and then some last year. Everybody's worse, or too far back last year to be a serious threat. The Cubs will really, I mean really have to shit down their leg to not win this division as it appears now. And things aren't going to change much because these teams don't have the money to.
