Still don't understand how they are post-season like. Or how 4-6 is that bad. We just went 3-4 against Mets except in the playoffs we'd have home field in that series and 4-3 is all you need.
These games are closer to meaningless than playoff like. And the team is clearly playing hard. It's exactly like July, in fact - even then they knew the playoff berth was always in the bag and it was hard to play at a high level, especially with injuries to boot. They are much sharper -with much better pitching - now.
2-5 in the last seven is not so great but those were all road games, 3-4 was probably the minimum expectation given we can't win every 5th day - another thing that is not at all playoff-like. I'll be disappointed if they don't take two from the Cubbies. And the Nats can spoil our shot at #1, but I'm not sure that really matters.
The curse and the beauty of modern baseball is how you play in any given week or two is not you play in the next week or two. I might even argue this is a great omen. Better than finishing hot and getting cold in mid-October like last year.
