The NL Central is sucking, with the exception of the Brewers. Still, that doesn't make it any easier for the Cubs to get the wild card. Maybe we can play against the Nationals for the rest of the season?

At the moment, all it will take to win the NL Central is a .500 record; that's where division leaders Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis sit. Of course, that may be just too much to ask from the Cubs.
