The situation
Cardinals lead Dodgers by 2 games for the 2nd wildcard spot.
Both teams have 3 games left, and both are against good opponents.
St. Louis is at home versus first-place Cincinnati. They are tied 1-1 after St. Louis pitcher Jaime Garcia hit a home run off Bronson Arroyo.
Dodgers at home, and play 3 against the Giants.
The first of those starts in a little bit.
Dodgers have won 5 in a row, but if the Cards win 2 out of 3, the Dodgers don't make the postseason no matter what.
If the Cards win 1 out of 3, the Dodgers have to sweep the Giants, which is tough.
If the Cards win 0 out of 3, the Dodgers still need to win 2 of 3 from the Giants.
Not likely that the Dodgers will manage this, but it also wasn't likely that 10.5-back St. Louis in late August 2011 was going to win the World Series.
I know Willie will be rooting for the Cards, but he deserves for them to lose because he stole.
