I have tickets for the 22nd and the 23rd! Can't wait!!!

Our rough spot in the schedule looks like August. Even though it has changed a bit since SF seems to be not so good.

Trying to be objective here. The Cards "should" have a double digit lead by the July series. 12-15 is a good guess. That doesn't mean that the Cubs will lose more ground in the WC chase. I think they will both play pretty good ball up to that point now that they're both getting healthy.

wolf stansson · June 23, 2005

That sounds about right. I'd say 12-15. I'm ticked because I'll be in Romania during that series. I've got to find a way to get to a computer.

I guess I am in the minority, but I do not think the Cards lead will get any bigger. The Cards have had a lot go right so far despite the injuries to Walker, Edmonds, and Rolen. I do not see this team improving unless these three players get 100% healthy or WJ makes a trade for another outfielder.

st louis has 16 of next 23 games at home... people coming back from injuries... and not mention playing the cellar teams of the NL.

cubs play 10-24 in wrigley. with people coming back frmo injuries. and playing 4 series against division or wild card teams... i can easily see us wellllllll back in the division race. 12-15 is prolly right on. this weekend will tell us a lot IMO.

What, they don't get WGN in Romania? Who knew? :lol:

If the Cubs can stay within ten games of the Cards after that stretch, they'll be in good shape. Maybe not for the division, but they'll be right in it for the WC

I think this stretch is key. If our cubbies can start the series with the cards back by less than 10, i think the've got a shot at the division. If they start that series more than 15 back, chances are slim. The Cards have a light schedule in july, so the cubs are going to have to play the kind of ball that saw them take 2 of 3 from the Sox.

the cards do have an easy schedule in july... so when do they play contending teams. is it just me, or have the cardinals had a very soft schedule the past few months... and apparantly the next month as well. sigh...

hawkeyecub · June 29, 2005

I thought we played the Cardinals 16 times after the break?

Looking at the schedule, there are only 14 meetings left between the teams.

Am I crazy, or wasn't it always reported/discussed as 16 more games?

we already played 2 of the 16.

Coach C · June 30, 2005

I would like to see what is the strength of schedule looks like in August and September. If the Cards are playing those teams in July, then I wonder what's their schedule looks like in August and September.

The Cards don't play anyone tough this year. MLB decided to give them a pass just to tork off the Cubs...

(august looks to be the toughest stretch, going into Sept.)

Bull · June 30, 2005

yeah end of july and August the cards play Sd, LA, FLA, Atl, and a quality Cubs team 7 times

Right, but I thought those were the first 2 of 18.

STL 4-2 vs the dregs of the division

Cubs 4-1 vs the sox and Brewers.

If they can keep this up thorough this stretch, the division is not an unrealistic goal.

BleedCubbieBlue81 · June 30, 2005

In order for the Cubs to have any sort of shot at the division, they are going to have to take 9 or 10 out of 14 from the Cards. And even then, it'll be tough. It's possible, but we'll probably need some help. And we'll have to keep our guns healthy, and avoid those five and six game slides that have become common this season. But I won't count us out until we're mathmatically eliminated. And even then I believe there's a chance.

To quote the superfans: "And while the Bears are mathmatically eliminated from the postseason, I'm still optimistic... Ditka will find a way." (Imagine it in a harsh Chicago accent that only exists inside of fireman and Mike North)

Ah yes, the SMALL sample size

STL 26-9 vs the NL Central

CHC 18-14 vs NL Central

4-2 is a .667 pace, 4-1 is an .800 pace. How realistic is expecting the Cubs to win 8 of every 10 games?

It has nothing to do with sample size. It was an update of my original post. 1) this stretch is key, 2) here's how they're doing thus far. Sorry I wasn't clearer.

Two more series' left and the Cubs are 12.5 back. That losing streak didn't help, but if they can make up a game or two, they're in good shape heading into the Cardinals difficult part of the schedule.

The division may be out of reach, but the head to head games with the Cards will be critical to the Cubs WC chances. I'm expecting a .500 split.

I hope the Cardinal offense can continue the lull it's been in over the last five game.

If the Cardinal pitching continues like its last 5 games (9 ER 43 IP 1.88 ERA) and still winning 60% of the games, it may not matter much.

You're right.

But I am glad that you no longer play the Royals, D-Rays, Cincy 10 times, and the Rockies 7 times. You can only play the schedule in front of you, but it's nice to see them having a more difficult schedule than the first half. Hey, I'm an eternal optimist.
