As if the Cubs are any closer, they finished in 4th last year, get your head out of your ass
Can we not have a discussion without the classless comments?
Anyways, the Cubs went 79-83 in a division which happened to include the two teams who fought for the NL Pennant, the Cardinals & the Astros.
The Dodgers went 71-91 in a pathetic division that produced the laughingstock of the playoff's - division winner San Diego.
Both teams had their share of injuries, and I'm not too sure it affected one more than the other.
While Kent should end up in the Hall of Fame, I don't think the Dodgers have a player quite the caliber of D Lee or even Ramirez for that matter.
Don't forget the Cubs were MANY people's pre-season favorite to go to the Series. I believe they were even on SI's cover touting them to do so.
Ya , I think it's relatively safe to say that the Cubs are much closer than the Dodgers.....in my humble opinion
The easier division will help the Dodgers get into the playoffs next year.
Plus the Cubs can't beat the Reds, Pirates, Brewers or bricklayers of the other divisions, the 'strong division' argument doesn't hold up (plus the NL is Weak!)
