Yeah if you look at the big picture, we've actually been remarkably consistent given our roster makeup. I think in a 5 game playoff series it would look something like this vs. potential opponents:

Cubs: We'd have to play great and get a little lucky
Dodgers: We'd have to play great and get a little lucky
Cardinals: We'd have to play good
Brewers: We'd have to play good
Rockies: We could have just an average series and still win it
Diamondbacks: We could have an average series and still win it

Obviously we could lose any of these series if we get cold enough. But I think we are better than the Rockies/Diamondbacks. I think we are just as good as the Cardinals and Brewers. I think the Cubs and the Dodgers are a little bit ahead of us and we would have to play really well to take them down in a 5 or 7 game series.
