Then they play in the NLDS with home field advantage.

Against either San Diego or Philadelphia. San Diego has no chance whatsoever. Philly has a bit of a chance, as they can hit--they've scored about the same number of runs at St. Louis this year. But they've given up over 100 more.

St. Louis sweeps S.D. and beats Philly in 4. The only NL team that has a chance to get into the World Series other than St. Louis would be Houston, and only if Clemens is on his game.

Someone should inform Houston that it's too late to trade for Beltran.

Delgado only got 4 million this year? Wasnt he getting around 17 million last year? Is his new contract seriously end loaded or should your quote say 14 million?

Is it really? They have lost more games than they have won. They are in one of the worst divisions in baseball, so they get to face terrible teams very often.. Other than Peavy and Giles, do they really have anyone?

They will have to beat two of (St. Louis, Houston, Atlanta) and whoever comes out of the AL (a very good team). Good luck to a sub .500 team doing that.

It's slightly annoying that in all likelihood, only one of Bosox and Yanks will make playoffs, but San Diego will be there. But that's baseball.

I'm talking about a 5 game series against the Cards, not the winning the World Series or even the NL pennant.

I'd say SD is about a 3-1 underdog to beat St. Louis in a 5 game series.
