I heard earlier tonight that this is the first time the Cubs have had a 4.5 game lead in the division since 8/1/01.

We were up 4.5 games like 2 weeks ago.

Agree to disagree.

LMAO.

Stay classy, San Diego.

I really think we're going to dominate tonight.

Me too. 7-1 final is my prediction.

What's the point of constantly posting exerpts from another message board over here? I'm not even talking once in the thread, or once in an hour, but every post in the thread...

For all that people think Sox fans are obsessed with the Cubs, there are people in this thread showing there isn't a lot of difference between the fanbases.

When we launch a forum specifically designed to lament about the White Sox, we can begin to talk about the lack of differences between the fanbases.

I think people are going over there for the comedy and quoting the posts they find funniest.

The biggest difference between the boards is in the administration and moderation, which really says a lot about how well this board is moderated, for the most part.

But I have to admit that it's been fun visiting WSI this weekend!

The last time the Cubs were 20 games over .500, they got swept by the Rays. Let's do the opposite of that against the Orioles. Thanks.

Was anyone in the NL ever 20 games over .500 at any point last year?

EDIT: Arizona was 90-70 before dropping their last 2...looking for others...

.500 the rest of the way takes us to 91 wins.

Last year in the NL, the high water mark for any team was 21 games over .500, with the Mets (83-62) and Diamondbacks (88-67) both hitting that mark for a day before hitting losing streaks (Mets lost 12 of 17 to end the year, D-backs lost 5 of 7 to end the year)
