Since the majority of people here are Cubs, Brewers, or Cardinal fans I thought you guys might enjoy this post crimsonace does over at insidetheivy.com. I'll try to keep it updated each day. All credit goes to crimsonace however.

can you include the Phillies? Looks to me like it will come down to them or us for the wild card spot.

Yeah, I'm on my way to class but I'll throw in the Phillies when I get back.
Hurricane Ike is bearing down on Houston and Friday's Astros/Cubs game looks like it will be moved to 1:00 PM.
There is also talk of moving the final two games to neutral St. Louis who will be out of town.
According to Cubs GM Jim Hendry, it looks like the Cubs will play a doubleheader on Sunday then a single game on Monday in a neutral location to be decided.
It sounds like they aren't even sure if they will be able to play the game on sunday. If the cubs are smart, they switch out Zambrano for Marshall or another pitcher and have him and Harden start in the brewer series.
