    Cubs lead by 22 runs this season. They also have a BA that is .018 above the D-backs and a SLG that is .038 above. The D-Backs have a slight (.002) advantage in OBP. I'd say the Cubs offense is better. You know what I don't get? We are ahead of the White Sox in OBP, SLG, and BA, but they have seriously outscored us. What's up with that? Sorry for this in the middle of a game thread, but... A bit of luck and timely hitting? BP's combined stat of equivalent average accounts for hitting and baserunning and can be converted into equivalent runs. By this metric the Cubs are a better offense (7th in ML), but have scored 23 fewer runs than expected. The Sox have the 2nd worst EQA in the ML, but have scored 23 runs more than they should have with that offense. This is part of the explanation - though execution may play some role! White Sox lead MLB in Sacrafice Flys with 36. Cubs are 26th with 22. They get it done with a runner at 3rd and less than two outs. Cubs don't. (usually Pose after getting a hit and stealing... he's perfect on the season when stealing 3rd base... something like 17 for 17) EDIT: Thanks Cedeno for proving my point! :x

    In case it doesn't get selected (and I doubt it will) I just submitted the following to the Tribune's "View from the fans": I was just so frustrated with Dusty and his stupid decisions that I finally had to say something.

    Sad to say that this occurs far too often. :x

    Can someone explain this to me? That's what CBS Sportline has posted.

    ok, having been away from the site for a while for reasons out of my control, I come back to see that I am actually in the top ten on this thing and was actually in second at one point... shocking! If only I had put Beltre to the Mariners rather than back with the Dodgers then things might have worked out for me. However, in examining the remaining free agents, it doesn't appear to be very favorable for me the rest of the way! Oh well, it was fun and thanks to Tim for putting this together. =D>
