Just imagine how superhuman they would make Machado.Maybe Cubs will trade for Tillman and Matusz and turn them into superhumans.
Congrats, Cubs. Arrieta is unreal.

Interesting excerpt from Andrew McCutchen's Player's Tribune piece.The Wild Card Game is, in a word, awesome. We’re headed to our third Wild Card game in a row on Wednesday. A lot of people are saying that it’s unfair that we have the second-best record in baseball and we have to face Cy Young contender Jake Arrieta in a do-or-die game. There’s some debate about whether it should be a best-of-three or maybe they should do away with divisions altogether.
I understand where those people are coming from, but my feeling is this: What kind of a champion says, “Man, I’m just hoping for the easiest road possible …â€
And what's really scary is that wasn't even his A+ stuff.arrieta is on another planet right now
good lord
And what's really scary is that wasn't even his A+ stuff.
Rick Adair: Arrieta have better stuff than Felix.
Still nothing compared to the beating he's taken on the Pens board this year.
I like passion, but he's a bit of an idiot.
I will say this - I'm glad that the Cubs will be advancing. I just loathe the fact that it has to come at a 98 win team's hand while a 90 winner still has at least 3 games left to go. The Cubs deserve to be there...and they don't deserve to be starting down the mouth of the Cardinals as their reward for winning their 98th game.

Agreed, the final 4 in the NL should be Cards,Pirates,Cubs and either LA-NYM. Let's not forget the mighty Mets went 0-13 combined vs Cubs and Pirates
The Pirates and Cubs both deserve better than a play-in game but at the same time this isn't something that's going to happen often where a 98 win team plays a 97 win and from the same division no less.
The play in game needs to become a 3 game series or better yet just go away completely and go back to 4 teams but we all know that won't happen.
If their not going to re-seed altogether and want to reward division winners that's fine, but they at least need to re-seed after the Wild Card game. The Cardinals and Cubs should not be playing each other already. It's not fair to either team.
We somehow went from "You're not allowed to play a team from your division in the DS regardless of record" to now "The top seed MUST play the Wild Card winner regardless of record or division."
It's ass backwards.
Cutch didn't have to say anything. He chose to say that.

Sounds crazy, but Arrieta certainly made a case for it this year. He had a better year than Felix ever has.Rick Adair: Arrieta have better stuff than Felix.
