Hey, who has the best run differential in the NL central?

[imb]

Just kidding, it's the Cobs. I know things are skewed because of tonight's games, so don't even look at our numbers, look at everyone else's. This division is terrible . No need to fret yet.

Even if you take out the numbers for tonight, the Cubs are still tied with the Brewers for the best run differential in the NL Central.

Wow the Yankees have given up 89 runs in 11 games. :shock: :shock: :shock:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Yep. Based on the Pythag standings, we should be leading the division at 7-5.

[JeffH]

We're the simulated leaders. Wood and Prior must be proud.

No. But the Rays have. The Yankees have given up 52 in 11 games.

[Balsa]

No way St. Louis can keep up that low Runs Scored. No freakin' way.

Check again. That would be the team that's right on their heels in the standings - Tampa Bay. Yankees have given up 52 runs and are at a +12 differential.

 

On that note, while Tampa Bay leads the majors in allowing 89 runs, they also lead the majors in runs scored :shock: :shock: (The two closest teams--Toronta and Florida--are two runs behind and have played one less game, but still surprising.)

Cubs need to spread those runs out better over games....14 runs one day...0 the next...8 the next day...1 after that...it seams.

the point is that the runs are there and hopefully will be there this season.

[RynoRules]

This is good news. I guess thing I feel best about is that we have managed to score some without ARam and with Soriano looking like Jacque Jones' twin brother.

 

Theriot and Murton for MVP!

[jersey cubs fan]

feast or famine helps to keep your totals pretty high, even if you score 0, 1, or 2 in a lot of games.

[TheDude]

No way St. Louis can keep up that low Runs Scored. No freakin' way.

 

Or that low Runs Allowed.

[Banedon]

Yep. Based on the Pythag standings, we should be leading the division at 7-5.

 

anyone have a link to these standings?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, found it.

[hardcorecubfan]

does it really matter if the central stinks, we were al terrible last year and the Cards won it all. Maybe this is a good sign
