Pirates, totally.  We're 4 behind Pittsburgh, 3 up on Giants.  A lot more plausible that we finish ahead of Giants than that we pass Pirates. 


Of course.

Giants is likely either making post-season or not making post-season. Pirates is home field or not. Making post-season bigger priority by wide margin.

Correct. If the Cubs can get some separation from the Giants, then we can root for them in matchups against Pittsburgh.

Giants have a tough stretch right now but they have a relatively easy schedule to close out the year.  We need as many games on then as possible, especially with the 13 games left against the Cardinals/Pirates and the tough 6 game Giants/Dodgers trip next week.  I'll be perfectly happy to go in as the second wildcard this season.  That would be amazing and anything beyond that game would be icing on the cake.

Stop that!  ;D

Whole point of playing 162 games and getting into post-season is to reach the World Series and WIN.

Will suck to lose wild card game or to lose any post-season series.

Not that keen on a participatory medal this season. Would not assume that subsequent seasons better than this season. Never know.

Heh heh, I'd like to win something.  But if we have 162 games of fascination and fun, and then one bad day, I'm sure not going to focus on the one sad day.  Let's keep the fun going for 162 games, so that we can take our chances in a sudden death. 

But I think I'm going to enjoy if it things stay fun for the full 162 games.

Yeah, regular season is great...but there has been a let's-temper-expectations thread on this board all season.

Don't care for that at all.

World Series is not iceing on the cake. It's what these guys play for.

And, same for fans. Let's think like Yankees fans or Cardinals fans. Things are different now.
