I have to laugh at these Cub fans who think the sky is falling.
They still have the best record in the National League, and there is almost NO WAY they're going to miss the playoffs.
I've seen a lot of baseball over the past four decades, and in a majority of cases (`05 Sox), teams who limp their way into the playoffs tend to get really hot once those playoff games begin. In other words, the fact that the Cubs are playing like crap right now might actually be a GOOD thing.
