Drew-less D'backs in for a tough fight

The Arizona Diamondbacks' chances of carving out the National League Western Division title got a little harder due to the fact shortstop Stephen Drew is now out for the rest of the season, after suffering a leg injury earlier in the week during the four-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers.

With 100 games in the books, the Diamondbacks remain four games behind the San Francisco Giants and will count heavily on Willie Bloomquist to fill in for Drew. At 53-47, I estimate the D'backs need to win 37 of their remaining 62 games to get the job done. Of course, the Giants and the Colorado Rockies need to help out the D'backs by going south in the standings (a couple of 10-game losing streaks by both clubs would certainly help).
