On what date will the Cubs be in first place?

[bc2k]

I'm going to predict the Cubs will be in first place by August 4th and never lose their lead.

[Derwood]

i can't say we'll be in first this week. it's brutal

[CubmanPi]

Phils and Mets will be tough, and I have a feeling the Brewers will do better against them at Miller than the Cubs will at Wrigley. I'll say August 15th is the day the Cubs take the outright lead, and they won't relinquish it.

[Sammy Sofa]

Never.

[cubbieblue12]

Never.

 

 

Seconded.

[Butterscup1679666578]

The only day that matters: September 30th.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Never.

 

 

Seconded.

 

Thirded.

 

The Brewers will get back on track at home; Cubs offense just doesn't inspire confidence for me...

[Omar]

August 1st.

[inari]

Boo at those of you saying never. I'm a huge pessimist and even I think we're going to catch the Crew.

 

I'm going with August... 22nd.

[seanimal]

June 22nd, 2012. It will last for four days.

[NCCubFan]

This Saturday against the Mets. I'm going to that game and will witness the Cubs take over the division. :D

Opening Day 2008

[soapy]

August 20

[CubColtPacer]

The rule with the Brewers right now seems to be to keep pace with them as best as one can at home, and then to catch them while on the road. So I'll say August 8th.

[USSoccer]

August 16th, but it won't last long.

[killthegoat06]

By the end of the Philly series.

[CubsNSkers07]

Today

Cubs Marquis Vs Eaton (winnable game if the good marquis shows up Edge Marquis)

Brewers Suppan Vs Glavine (suppans been rocked lately Edge Glavine)

 

Tomorrow

Cubs Hill Vs Moyer (moyer had his best outing of the season in his last start going 7 scoreless, Hill got a no decision edge Moyer)

Brewers Bush Vs Perez (Perez unraveled in the 6th in his last start Bush gets rocked by righties .331 avg .215 against lefties I say the few righties rough him up and Brewers lose again.)

 

Thursday

Cubs Marshall vs TBA Edge Marshall!

Brewers Vargas vs Sosa ( Vargas matched his career high outing and had great run support but i see it going differently thursday no run support and Sosa dominates Brewers lose cubs take lead.)

 

So the Cubs take 2 of the next 3 while the brew crew get swept by the mets and the cubs take the lead after Thursdays games!

I really, really hope that this is a joke post. Not because of the opinion, just because my 11 year old nephew can write a more coheirent post.

[Cubsown2007]

Oh, and I think it will be around the 8th or 9th of this month, and we'll fight back and forth with the Crew all year, until hopefully we pull ahead in the last 10 games or so.

Agreed. early next week, but we won't hold on until the end. Ups and downs.
