Well they're 14 games over .500, tied for the first wild card slot and 4.5 games ahead of the next-closest team. Considering the absolute s--- show we were treated to in the Weiss/O'Dowd/Geivett years, I would consider that a pretty good position. The Braves have lost five straight and the Royals just broke a 7-game losing streak and have two wins this month. So if you can't at least hold your own against those teams, you don't deserve to make the playoffs. Who are the Cardinals and Dbacks playing during this same stretch - the Washington Generals?
