  In the race for NL Central Supremacy the Cardinals are flexing their muscles with a 10 game lead over the second place Cubs. Whoever, finishes second could have a legitimate shot at the Wild Card, but not if the West keeps up the press they have had for first place. However, let's not forget that Atlanta and Philadelphia are no slouches in the East. Whether they make the cut or not, one thing is sure for the Cubs in the second half of the season; now that the Cubs DL is almost empty they still have an enormous uphill battle for second place and a Mt. Everest climb for a sure shot at a playoff birth. Which brings me to my true point...Kenny's $20 bet is as good as toast.
