Well fans the Cubbies (60-82) are officially eliminated from
the NL Central Race. They are also guaranteed not to finish above .500 again
this year. One day the curse will be lifted and we can only hope it will be in
our lifetime. After all, the Red Sox were without a series win for nearly 100
years and they have overcome the “Curse of the Bambino” to take their place at
the top of the MLB world and they way things are going this year they may just
do it again. They are 9.5 games ahead of the Orioles (76-66) and look to be
firmly in control of the AL East. Baltimore just can’t seem to go on a long
winning streak right now. They are 5-5 in their last 10 games and that just isn’t
going to get it done.
The Braves (85-57) are no longer in possession of the best record
in baseball (Red Sox) but do still hold the best record in the NL, which is
what really matters at this point. They just got swept by the Phillies but
still hold a 12 game lead over the Nationals. Magic number is 9.
At least the Cubs knew this wouldn't be a great year... But the Nationals entered the year saying World Series or Bust. Looks like it's gonna be BUST! Their curse will be that they blew it last season by sitting their Ace and acting like they would have a shot at the World Series every season. Suckers...
