so we'll win an extra game by scoring two fewer runs and giving up six more runs. i like it.

Do you guys think there is a team in the NL that is head and shoulders above anyone else? Seems like there is a bunch of teams, the Cubs included, that in that "good" category.

 

 

Guys, you see, all teams are going to win 60 and lose 60. It's what you do in those other 42 games that makes all the difference. . . . . hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

 

The Mets.

I think most of us have a problem with the fact that the Cubs, given their market and payroll situation, should be one of those head and shoulders better teams, rather than maybe the best of the mediocre bunch that is the NL (after the Mets).

I honestly don't think the Mets are that much better than us. They difinitely weren't before Johan fell in their laps. The right side of their infield is on a pretty steep decline. Alou can't stay healthy. And who knows what their going to get from Pedro and El Duque this year. I would say they're better but not head and shoulders better.
