Best start in my lifetime. No matter how this year ends, I hope everyone is taking the time to enjoy how it started.

 

Also: Best start since 1975 when the Cubs also started 15-6

 

Doh: Cubs finished 75-87 in 1975.

You had better believe I'm enjoying this. :)

It's only the fourth time in the last century that the Cubs started this well (In 1907 they started 17-4).

 

In 1975, the Cubs started 15-6, lost their next game, and finished the season tied for last at 75-87.

 

In 1932, the Cubs started 15-6, got to 17-6 before losing their next game, and finished the season 90-64, losing the World Series to the Yankees.

 

In 1969, the Cubs started 15-6, got to 16-6 before losing their next game, and finished...no, the season was never finished.

Yeah, that abrupt mid-August cancellation is one of the weirdest stories in baseball history.

tied for the best start in my lifetime (and no, i wasn't born in 1932)

Thank you ! :wink:

[Hairyducked Idiot]

About as weird when they declared the 2003 NLCS a tie midway through game 6.

[bukie]

If this hot start continues, though, get ready to hear "best start since 1969" a lot, as the Cubs were 75-44 that year on August 16, the day the season abruptly ended for the Cubs.

[GlassCow]

Hope the season goes similar to '32, but without anyone calling shots against us, and us winning the world series.

That made me mad. We were winning and everything.
