    Yes but in late game situations they haven't been nearly as good.

    The 2006 Cubs were an anomaly because, for the most part, the team that played in April didn't play the whole season. Their anticipated winning percentage would have been considerably less if it had been based on the team that played the majority of the games...

    As a whole, I see the bullpen as a strength and I expect the offense will prove to be as well. However, I think the biggest problems in April were the bullpen and a lack of hitting in late innings (one could argue that the bullpen's problems contributed to or exposed the lack of hitting in late game situations because they put the offense in catch-up mode). Of course, Zambrano and Wade Miller's problems didn't help. I have to think that Zambrano will be much better going forward.

    IMO, that's implied in a thread that asks the question about the Brewers "running away" with the division. Based on 24 games people (including me) are drawing conclusions about the season... Looking at the numbers closely, I can't help but notice that the Cubs have the most upside in the division. I see the Brewers as lucky, to a degree, at this point. Well, if we want to look at things positively from a Cubs standpoint, don't we actually have the best head-to-head in the division against the Crew (it's 3-3 IIRC)? Yes, the Cubs are the only team in the division to have won a series against them thus far.

    So, the Cubs have little chance to reach their anticipated winning percentage while the Brewers will continue to overachieve...

    Their lineup to date is better than the Cubs. I just don't think they are running away with the div., which I loosely define as being 10 games up on Sept. 1. They very well could win it, however. Will it continue to be so once Soriano starts to hit? Having gotten nothing from Soriano, the Brewers have still only scored 5 more runs than the Cubs - 117-112. and will hill, lilly and marquis continue to be three of the best pitchers in the NL? Will Z continue to suck? Will our 5 starter spot continue to put up a 10+ ERA? probably not. so hill, lilly and marquis regress and z and 5th starter improve...probably evens out. which brings the cubs to where they are right now, which is a lot of games behind the brewers. And a 3rd order record that's several games better than Milwaukee. If the Cubs continue to play like they are now they're going to be in great shape. Going forward, if they play to their pythag winning pct. they'd win over 90 games, even including their 10-14 start. These are my thoughts exactly.

    Lou rethinking Guzman pitching on Sunday? Suntimes
  9. 98navigator
    that is something really weird. :shock: The game will pickup where it left off...

    Chris Duffy will also have a 1-2 count when the game resumes.
  11. 98navigator
    Yes, bottom 7
  12. 98navigator

    game suspended
  14. 98navigator
    The Pirates announcers want this thing suspended.
  15. 98navigator
    It can't be called
  16. 98navigator
    why, has the rain started again?
  17. 98navigator
    Sexson takes Vazquez deep
  18. 98navigator
    I think they are always fined for throwing equipment. LOL, he can afford it.
  19. 98navigator
    Hughes leaving
  20. 98navigator
    I was gonna say, I think this says more about TEX than it does Buehrle or Hughes.

    Even though it isn't helping the Cubs, it is nice to see the Cardinals sucking for once. It may help in the long run... The Cubs have to take care of their own business; I'm not going to shed a tear for STL or HOU. I hope they both fall out of it early.
  22. 98navigator
    Sox game going to be on CSN (until the Cubs resume) and on CSN+ simultaneously
  23. 98navigator
    That's news? I thought everyone knew that. They could be worse than PIT
  24. 98navigator

  25. 98navigator
