8/30 Pirates (Kuhl) @ Cubs (Hendricks), 7:05 PM, WGN MLBN

[ScrubMD]

Today's awesome yet pathetic fact of the day.

 

It is August and the Cubs have 84 wins. Only 12 Cub teams since 1945 have won more than 84 games in an entire season.

 

the yankees have had 52 seasons of 84 wins or more since 1945. :lol:

 

It is stats like this that make me angry at my parents.

 

Unless your parents are super old, they suffered a lot more than you. The last 15 years have been wildly successful by Cub standards.

I'm slow so it took me 3-4 reads before I realized he wasn't accidentally misspelling his name

Kyle is going to finish the year with a sub-2.00 ERA and deservedly win the Cy Young.

The only remaining question is: will he smile when he receive the award?

I like sticking it to the Pirates but I wish it didn't make my Cardinal fan friends so happy...
