Look out Milwaukee!

---The Cubs are about to go on another run! I don't know, I guess I'm just being optimistic but I think Lou is going to get the team to start playing 600 ball once again. I "guesstimate" that we'll win at least four of six against Cincy and St. Louis. And I think we'll take over 1st place as well, because the Cards will give the Brew Crew fits. What are y'all's thoughts?

[Cynosure]

I don't know about that. All I know is I think we will win the Brewers series later this month, it just sucks Soriano won't be back by then.

We play them 7 times, so your predictions don't really mean anything.

My thoughts are the Cubs will win 1 more game than Milwaukee and go into next week 1 game behind in the standings.

it's just a prediction, man. a simple error has nothing to do with whatever logic/feeling he's using to make a prediction.

I'm just saying, he obviously has no idea how many times we play them. Not much of a prediction if you can't even get the number of games correct.

Do or die week for the Cardinals.

 

If they lose both series against the Brewers and Cubs, they're finished.

You obviously know nothing about telling the future. The "whisps" of information, as I call them, rarely come in complete detail. There is typically a 15% swing in accuracy, right in line with SSB's reading -- not perfect, but not bad for supernatural abilities, eh? :roll:

[chuckywang]

Well, it's good to know that at least some people are optimistic.

[Dr. Cub]

I'm optimistic that the Cubs will be in 3rd place by the end of this month.

[CubmanPi]

Yea, this is way more optimistic than I'm ready to be with this team. We've had our fun for the season, and now the Cobs and Brewers will continue their mediocrity to make this a 3-team race by the end of August. Cubs can definitely still take this thing, but there's no way they start running away with anything in the immediate future. I just hope the Brewers don't turn it up and take off in the standings, which is a much more likely scenario, IMO.

[Sweet Swinging Billy]

Pitchcs, chill out! I'm just speaking of the upcoming games (this week/weekend) that the Cubs are playing the Reds and the Cardinals. As Electron Blue said "It's just a prediction." Relax! Can't a Cub fan show a little enthusiasm anymore? Okay, bottom line: we win more than we lose and we end up in first place. How's that?

And I'm just saying that they play the Cardinals Monday as well. So how about a 7 game prediction?

yeah, SSB, give us more. Who wins on Monday!?!?! :roll:

[badgercub]

I would say the Cardinals are the team to watch out for. Milwaukee is done. Sheets is still out and Ned Yost has run that bullpen into the ground. The Brewers don't have the pitching to win this thing. The Cubs need their offense to pick up if they want to have any chance at all. Lee is cold, Soriano is out, and Ramirez has been in and out of the lineup due to various ailments, if these guys can turn it around the Cubs have a chance, if not I say watch out for the Dirty Birds.

[Ender]

Its funny, I posted the same thing about the Cubs today, heh. Zambrano is done with his hot streak, Marquis and Marshall are regressing, Hill hasn't looked great and Lilly will wear down since he hasn't pitched 200 IP even once in his career. I think the Cubs pitching wears down and they miss the playoffs.

 

Wise looks like he is over the beaning now, Linebrink has looked great. Turnbow, Cordero are back to being dominant and the entire Brewer starting rotation has underperformed all year and is looking better as of late.

 

I imagine the truth is somewhere in between those two paragraphs but I think both sides can agree that anyone is better than the Cardinals in 1st place!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

here comes a 22 out of 27 run

 

I'm not calling wins and losses

[Sammy Sofa]

I say we go 49 of 62 the rest of the way.

[Sweet Swinging Billy]

Okay, Electron. I don't know who the starting pitchers are for Monday's game but because I believe in being optimistic about things---I'm pickin the Cubs to win the game and the series. I'm going out on a limb here, so I'm saying the Cubs take 3 out of 4.

[JimSorgi]

Wise looks like he is over the beaning now, Linebrink has looked great. Turnbow, Cordero are back to being dominant and the entire Brewer starting rotation has underperformed all year and is looking better as of late.

Any facts to prove this? The rotation hasn't improved lately.

Last five starts

[imb]

I'm optomistic, it's hard not to be when college football is getting started and the cubs are still playing meaningful games.

 

Yeah, we're mediocre, but so is everyone else. I'll stop thinking about the playoffs when we're mathematically eliminated.

[KatJ]

---The Cubs are about to go on another run!

 

You have Ernie Banks' optimism, but the rest of your sentence in all likelihood should read, "here come the Cardinals."
