00:00But it's funny, the Cubs are just seen to be the forgotten
00:03because they play in the same division that the Brewers do here, Craig.
00:07I mean, do the Cubs have a legit shot at running the table here,
00:11even against the Dodgers?
00:14I don't think so.
00:15I think the Brewers win the division.
00:19I think all your divisions are set in the National League.
00:23I don't think – the only thing that I could see is some epic run
00:26for Philadelphia catching Atlanta.
00:28I don't think the Cubs catch Milwaukee, and I don't think anybody catches L.A.
00:33Eventually, L.A. is going to get hot.
00:35It's almost like the same thing when the Red Sox were as hot as they were,
00:38and then the Dodgers were as cold as they were,
00:40and now it's all evening out again, and now the Dodgers are playing the Rockies
00:43and beating up on the Rockies, and, you know, the rest is history, so to speak.
00:47Dodgers will also play the Giants down the stretch.
00:51I'm sure they play the Rockies again before the season ends.
00:53So that West is just – because you have two such bad teams,
00:58it makes the schedule really easy for those good teams in the National League West.
01:02And like I said, with San Diego, I guess they hadn't played Washington yet this season.
01:05We know Washington is playing kids right now.
01:09You know, they're playing toward next year too.
01:10So, yeah, I – look, is it possible –
01:15I'm going to play the playoffs then out of all of those teams.
01:18Oh, well, that's much different.
01:19Because Milwaukee, we don't think –
01:19Yeah, Milwaukee, we don't think has the power to have success long-term in the postseason.
01:25The Cubs, I – do they have –
01:29Well, maybe, maybe, maybe.
01:30You know, you think?
01:32I don't think they're catching the Brewers because the Brewers are built for the regular season.
01:36But –
01:36Right.
01:37No way are they –
01:38No way are they –
01:39No way are they –
01:39No, in the –
01:39For the postseason.
01:40Like, if you told me in the postseason that, you know,
01:45that a couple of guys got hot pitching for San Diego
01:47and then Tatis went on – got on fire, Manny Machado, and then they won.
01:50I could – and then they beat Milwaukee.
01:52Yes, I could absolutely see that.
01:54I'm just –
01:54I was just giving you my regular season view, which I think –
01:58the National League, to me, is much clearer now, maybe, than what it was a week ago.
02:03The American League, I have no sense of anything.
02:05For bleep's sake, the Twins just swept the Braves.
02:08The Twins, if the season ended today, Joe, are in the wild card.
02:12The Twins.
02:14Every one of these teams, Craig, National League, we certainly know what he meant,
02:18but every one of them in the National League, everybody has warts.
02:23All of these teams have issues that could come and bite them in the postseason.
02:28It's not going to be a cakewalk for the Dodgers to run a third one back
02:33is what I'm saying here.
