.500 on the road

[bukie]

Didn't take too long to get back to respectability on the road after falling to 21-30 at one point a month ago in Arizona.

 

Now, the Cubs have 38 games remaining, 19 on the road and 19 at home. Given current home and road pace, if they fall off a bit on both, and take 2 of every 3 at home (13-6), while taking just under half the road games (9-10), they'll finish the year at 98-64.

 

That record would force both the Brewers to finish at a 28-9 pace and the Cardinals to finish the year at a 29-6 pace to keep the Cubs out of the playoffs.

My Mom has 100-101 wins in the pool. She was asking me last week if the Cubs could make it. I said they probably couldn't because they might want to rest some players down the stretch if they have a lead. Now I wonder if 100 wins is a goal they are trying to reach.

[NCCubFan]

It would be fitting if the Cubs win exactly 100 games. One win for each year between championships.

I've said elsewhere - 100 Ws and +200 run differential should be the goal.

Except if the Cubs won this year, there'd be 99 years between championships.

9 game win streaks don't hurt ;)

Nothing wrong with trying to shoot for the best, but the rest is also gonna be needed, especially after a long season. Of course, we don't want them to be "too" rested where they could be rusty.

OK, make it 100 wins for AVOIDING 100 years between championships.

Actually, it'd be 100 years between championships, from 1908 to 2008. There are 99 years of drought, though.

The Cubs are deep enough that they can rest one or two starters per game and still field a very competitive team.

I've said elsewhere - 100 Ws and +200 run differential should be the goal.

 

A Championship should be the goal.

I've said elsewhere - 100 Ws and +200 run differential should be the goal.

 

A Championship should be THE ONLY goal.

 

Fixed.... :D
