Remember the shitty teams that the Cubs beat in 2008. The schedule in 2008 had us play some more bad teams - Pirates, Nats, etc - in the first half of the year than the second half. The Cubs had momentum heading into the second half of the season and lead to us trading for Harden.

We were able to beat quality teams in 2008 though. Not so this season. Not even close.
That said, I'm actually a little impressed that we've remained over .500 throughout all this.
