If Pena and Zastryzny both keep throwing this well there's going to be some tough 25-man playoff roster decisions to make.

Zastryzny has a 0.79 ERA / 0.97 WHIP in 11.1 IP in the majors and has been a solid both at punching out a single inning and as a long man. I know it's not going to happen but honestly I'd rather have him in the postseason bullpen than Wood.

Those numbers will go down because my guess is that once the Cubs have the top seed locked up he'll start a game or two in the last 10 days

Cubs need 1 Central division win in their last 22 games to ensure a winning record against every NL division and against the AL. They went 19-14 against both the NL East and West and are 13-4 against the AL with 3 to play.

what if the Giants...are not good.

The guy who runs the Giants blog on SBNation said in the Cubs preview

quote:

The question before us today is this: "Are the Giants any good?"

...

I'm sorry, that's my question. It's for you. I'm asking it, and I'm on a deadline, so I'm kind of hoping for a quick turnaround on this. Are the Giants any good? You don't have to write a novel. Just a couple paragraphs.

...

Ugh, fine, I'll wing it. See, I don't know if the Giants are any good. At the All-Star break, they had the best record in baseball. The All-Star break was a month-and-a-half ago. If you asked me then if the Giants were any good, I would have looked at you like you were wearing a cloth diaper over your chin. Of course they were. They have the best record. They're 20 games over .500 and on pace for 100+ wins. Of course they're good.

The season is 45 games older, which shouldn't make that much of a difference. What can 45 games prove? Other than that the team that had the best record in baseball was secretly the worst team in baseball. I'll be honest. Didn't see that coming.
