If the Dodgers can hang 9 more outs on the board, the Cubs will have tied the Dbacks for the best record in baseball.

 

When was the last time the Cubs held that this late in the season?

Were the Cubs 9 games over .500 at any pt last year?

 

85-76 before the last game, I guess. I'm just assuming that's the high water mark. It has to be.

B-R says they got as high as 10 over at 83-73.

I'm pretty sure they got to 10 games over (83-73) before they got swept by the Marlins. I think that was the highest they got though.

Looking at the Cubs schedule that year is just so depressing.

I remember that year really well. Incredible start and it looked like the Cubs were going to steamroll through the season. Then one pitcher went on the DL. Then another. And another. And another. Then the entire starting rotation was on the DL at the same time.

 

tough to manage through that.

SHHHH all of you I just want to enjoy it a little more before I wake up.

 

For those that don't know the NL Central has also had the best record in baseball for about two weeks straight now (may be a day or two in there that we feel a game back of the AL East).

 

I have brought that division point up to my Red Sox fan roommate many times. He doesn't like it so much when I do that. :cray:

I remember that year too. I really thought the Cubs were going to win back-to-back division titles until the bottom dropped out. The pitching situation seemed similar to 2006, with one major difference. In 2006 the Cubs had legitimate pitching prospects that were called up earlier than they otherwise would have been, but I think that experience helped some of them (such as Marmol and Marshall) last year. In 1985, however, they were starting AA-quality pitchers who never pitched in the majors after that year (anybody remember the legendary Steve Engel, Johnny Abrego, and Derek Botelho?).

Yes, some of us remember..... but we're trying real hard to forget, eh? :wink:

I am amazed!

 

If they keep showing the same plate discipline they should be in almost any game, given good to mediocre pitching.

Derek Botelho is now the pitching coach for the Mississippi Braves. I'll tell him you send your best.
