The "purists" are the minority. Wildcards aren't a dirty word.

Get healthy. Get hot. Get in. Make your run. No one cares about or remembers division championships if they don't come with a league pennant and\or world series title.

2006.

I think in 2006 the Cards 83-79 regular season record won the NLC division.

I was referring to anything can happen. Beat Mets, then Tigers. Both series underdogs, especially the Mets.
