Farewell David Wright...now go get me that Cuban dude Alderson. I know the Cubs have been anointed, but I take my chances with our rotation...even with the hilarious colorful suits they are wearing in promos. Gay.
Wright was a hell of a ball player for several years. I think anyone anointing the Cubs is crazy though. They are really, really good but the NL has some excellent teams. You can bet your ass any reasonable Cubs fan hasn't forgotten that they were dominated by the NYM in the NLCS last year or is dismissing them as a threat this year. That rotation is the truth. My hope is that they have to settle for a Wild Card & lose the play in game. No one is going to want to face that team in a 7 game series. I do think the Cubs are better equipped to match up with them this year, but I hope they don't have to.
Nats are good too if they don't bitch out again. Good lineup & roll Scherzer & Strasburg out to the hill. And that Harper guy can hit a little bit. SF is tough and has big time starters in MadBum & Cueto. StL doesn't worry me but if they get into a WC you never know. Pittsburgh looks bad right now & the Cubs own them, but if Cole comes back fine & Taillon & Glasnow (when they bring him up) break into the league kicking ass they can be dangerous. So much talent in that OF. They will be fighting for Wild Card scraps though and re going to have to go on a run sometime if they want to keep pace. LAD have Kershaw and one of these days he is going to have one of those epic postseason runs. I don't worry much about them though.
NL is a tough road though. October baseball is volatile.
