      Sure they’re going, but the question is will they sit in the field box or the diamond loge section?

      Kidding aside, I am not saying they are dead–too early for that. In the NL Central, they can certainly make it. But I am resigned to the fact that they are significantly flawed (mainly away from home, which sadly is half their schedule) and will be frustrating to watch even if they find a way to make the post-season.
