I forget, which baseball "expert" said the Holliday acquisition wouldn't make much of a difference?

WC - chance of winning the Wild Card
POFF - chance of making the Playoffs

Lot of season left. Cubs have quite a few patsies on the schedule, including 3 vs Nats next weak. 3 game winning streak cures a lot of ills.

I almost skipped this -after the Cards were the Padres pets tonight.
But the Cubs were one-hit so what the Hell...34 it is!

Sort of. That's three less games where they have the opportunity to gain ground.
