Tighter Card
The NL Wild Card race pulled a bit tighter today as Arizona and Philadelphia lose, while Los Angeles and Colorado win. I heard one announcer in a completely different game talk about how Philadelphia wants either the DBacks or Padres to sweep, but LA and Colorado want the Padres and DBacks to split, so they can move up on both teams for the division title. I don't agree with that logic. All teams should want a sweep, so they can try to move into the wild card position. It's more important to be in the playoffs than win the division. Once you hold the wild card, then worry about the division. Do people agree?
