Chicago Cubs

2011: 71-91

2012 (projected): 74-88

 

If there's anything Theo Epstein and Jim Hendry have in common it's a history of poor contract decisions.

[PriortoTheoIhadWood]

Quick someone list the GMs renowned for the contracts they handed out.

[Derwood]

Pretty much at the halfway mark (most teams have played 80-82 games)

 

Anyone predict this?

At this point last year you were right in it. Can you not collapse this time?

[El Duderino]

I hope they don't. Anything to keep the Cards and/or Reds out.

I like them a lot. McCutchen is a great guy to cheer for. But, I think they need to add a bat before I really believe they will hold up.

I hope they don't. Anything to keep the Cards and/or Reds out.

 

I think that will hinge on what moves they make to offset the regression.

 

My money is on Cincinnati winning the division.
