I do think the wildcard is coming out of the east this year, barring major injuries.
I'm pretty sure we won't be swept by the Reds though....<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yep. They're damn good and I had them winning the WC only because the Phillies are also in the division like you said. Don't know why they weren't talked up a bit more. They're strong everywhere in the lineup, and have some good depth with guys like Diaz off the bench. Their rotation is ridiculous with Jurrjens and Hanson only to get better, and if Wagner stays healthy, their bullpen can be too. They're a very, very balanced team and I wouldn't be surprised to see them win it all.
And I agree that Hanson will probably dominate us tonight as well. Regardless of what happens, I'm not all that worried about our offense after this series. Just worried about catching the damn ball and not blowing leads late, which have already been huge issues in the first two games.
