When do the Cubs get their first series win?

[dfnowak]

With how bad this team is and their tough, early season schedule, I think their best chance is May 21 - 23 at Houston.

[Sosa21MVP]

Eh, I think they will win the series against Cincinnati this weekend. Dusty will find a way to make it happen. \:D/

This has the potential for monumental fugliness !!!

That schedule is brutal.

 

Let's sweep the Reds though.

You think we won't win a series for another month. Have you ever watched baseball before?

I'm guessing it will happen in one of the next two. Also, thanks for reminding me about the Philly series. Sunday looks like the best option for me.

[SouthSideRyan]

Good Garza vs. Lee could be a fun game.

Didn't they go a very long time last year without winning a series? Like they finally won one in July or August... It seems like last year that it was so far into the season that I was hoping they wouldn't win a series for the season so they can go into the history books.

it was a three-game winning streak that took them that long.

They won the 2nd series of the year, vs HOU.

[SouthSideRyan]

Do you know when the last time the Cubs went an entire April without winning a series?

 

I don't either because I went back through every 90+ loss Cubs team and gave up after getting through 2 100 loss teams that won one.

[SouthSideRyan]

Historically terrible '03 Tigers 1st series win: May 6th

0-21 start Orioles 1st series win: May 22nd

'62 Mets: May 16th

 

But yeah, May 23rd. That's probably the most likely date.

Most years as an MLB executive without winning a division title?

Despite a lot of second-place finishes, the Red Sox did win the division in 2007.

We don't win a series. ALL YEAR LONG.

Theo told the team that the Cubs Way was to play like every series was the playoffs. He didn't think that one through.

Ahh... that's what it was. I still wish last year they went a whole season without a "winning streak".
