    My math is terrible but I think it's 90 games. We are 38-21 with 103 games left. If we go 52-51 that equates to 90-72. Meh still not bad. I thought someone in the game thread said 98 games and I was like :shock: I'll take 90 but I think we will play over .500 baseball the rest of the year. To finish 81-81 - 43-60 To finish 85-77 - 47-56 To finish 90-72 - 52-51 To finish 93-69 (less than 70 losses) - 55-48 To finish 95-67 - 57-46 To finish 100-62 - 62-41 To finish 103-59 - 65-38

    Just for fun, based on projected numbers, this is how the Cubs would look at the end of the season. Imagine facing this lineup and rotation in the NLDS: Soriano, LF - .285/.330/.565/.895 47 HR 130 RBI Theriot, SS - .321/.407/.386/.793 3 HR 47 RBI Lee, 1B - .291/.346/.525/.870 36 HR 105 RBI Ramirez, 3B - .317/.428/.540/.968 26 HR 115 RBI Fukudome, RF - .305/.409/.433/.842 9 HR 62 RBI Soto, C - .293/.384/.560/.944 29 HR 113 RBI DeRosa, 2B - .299/.390/.465/.855 17 HR 89 RBI Johnson, CF - .266/.346/.367/.713 6 HR 76 RBI Zambrano - 22-3 2.51 ERA 1.22 WHIP 157 K Dempster - 19-5 2.75 ERA 1.12 WHIP 173 K Lilly - 14-11 5.54 ERA 1.40 WHIP 167 K Marmol - 3-3 2.43 ERA 0.81 WHIP 151 K 47 H (102 IP) Wood - 5-3 2.78 ERA 0.80 WHIP 100 K 44 S (88 IP)

    The only way that will happen is if a highly uncharacteristic storm hits SD and washes the game out after 6 innings.
  5. UMFan83
    Thread title is dumb. We can win with Marquis in the rotation, and he won't come near a baseball in the playoffs. So if we fail, it won't be because of him.
  6. UMFan83
    What doesn't make sense is why the Cubs didn't get HFA in 89 then. 84 - West 85 - East 86 - West 87 - East 88 - West 89 - East

    Theres only one 10:40 start against the Dodgers, and its on Friday. Th - 10:10 EST F - 10:40 EST Sa - 3:55 EST Su - 8:05 EST And then back to Wrigley and normal start times

    This will be a tough game. As stated above, Maddux is tough at Petco. Probably because its tough to take an 84 MPH fastball through the marine layer and out of the park. The Cubs offense has been hitting so well though I think we'll score a few off him. It will be up to Lilly to stifle the Padres and go at least 7. Funny note: Through 2 games this series, the Padres have scored 12 runs. When the Padres came to Wrigley last month, the offense scored only 12 runs in a 4 game series. More funny notes: If we win today, we will sweep 4 of the 5 NL West teams this year. The only team we haven't swept is San Francisco, who we haven't played yet. Right now the Cubs are 25-5 against the West and the Pirates and 13-16 against everyone else.

    I just want him to start walking once in awhile again.
  10. UMFan83
    Jeez...it was almost like Soto was determined to Homer at this park. Gangster Geo. Gangster.
  11. UMFan83
    Would be hilarious if Lou lifted Marquis now after having him bat in this inning.
  12. UMFan83
    2 runs scored today on a walk and a groundout heh.
  13. UMFan83
    Gritty indeed. Really nice work Ryan.
  14. UMFan83
    I'm sorry, I'm not usually one of those guys who picks apart every move a manager makes....but Lou has been awful this series. I can't believe some of the moves he is making.
  15. UMFan83
    How the hell did this moran win a freaking Silver Slugger??
  16. UMFan83
    So it looks like 6 weeks of sparse playing time has affected Cedeno's ability to play well.
  17. UMFan83
    I don't know if anyone noticed, but apparently Pujols left the game tonight after being HBP. This is a second hand story from my (Cardinals fan) roommate, so I don't know where he was hit or if it was precautionary.
  18. UMFan83
    Man Marquis really enjoys pitching to the heart of the order doesn't he? Once he sniffs Giles or Gonzalez, he just throws balls until he gets to them.
  19. UMFan83
    I just realized, Marquis is scheduled to be pitching on Sunday Night Baseball at Dodger Stadium. Wow we're going to be embarassed on National TV
  20. UMFan83
    Wow was that Jacque Jones or Juan Pierre in center? I can't tell.
  21. UMFan83
    I think Lou might seriously be considering removing Marquis from the rotation.
  22. UMFan83
    I'm surprised that Lou isn't sending the runners to third and home.
  23. UMFan83
    I'd prefer half-strength swings. C'mon you know theres a difference between a fast uppercut swing and a regular swing.
  24. UMFan83
    Lou you idiot. I know it worked but...you idiot.
  25. UMFan83
    I don't know why Lee has shown the HR swing multiple times in this AB. I don't think many HRs will be hit tonight.
