Subscribe? It's just a saying.... Do you really think eating an apple each day will insure that you will never need to visit a doctor? -
Actually no, I've never heard of that. Is that something that's widely acknowledged? "Nearly every team wins 60 games and loses 60 games, it's what you do with the other 42 games." Or something like that. Not sure how UMF came up with 60 variables though. Either I: 1) Can't count or 2) Was including the playoffs. ...yeah...the second one...

Actually no, I've never heard of that. Is that something that's widely acknowledged? I think it's something more like everybody will win 60, lose 60 and what you do the rest of the 40 is what matters. Yeah whoops, I can't count.

What about the game against the Mets, where the Cubs had a 5-1 lead in the 9th and Dempster blew it? I hated life for 2 days after that game.
-
Anyone ever hear of the 60/60/60 saying? 60 wins, 60 losses, 60 variables. I know its the game thread forum, and I too have been criticized for letting my immediate emotions fly here, but some days our pitchers aren't going to get the job done, or our hitters aren't going to hit with RISP. It happens. If we go quietly, we went 3-1 against everyones NL Favorites, and last years NL Champs. Not bad.

I hate that dude Spilborghs
-
OK This is the 4th time I believe in the last 4 games which we had the bases loaded with 0 outs and only scored 1 run or less. This is something that has gone on with this team for years. What is the run expectancy with bases loaded 0 outs and the top of the order due up?
-
If Fontenot doesn't get the run in, I'm going to hate him.

http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/sky-is-falling.jpg omg the Cubs might go to 15-7, after going only 3-1 against the NL favorites and last years NL champs! I'm jk, actually the reaction on the board has been rather levelheaded

I'll take 1 run and 6 hits through six any day Yeah but that doesn't take into account the hard hit balls that he's given up. The numbers look good, but don't reflect the quality of his pitching. Boy, we're getting picky these days. Frankly, I don't care how we get the other team out. one run given up in 6 innings is a really nice pitching performance in my book. That's...fine but he...really...didn't....ahh nevermind. See?

He hasn't seen enough of you. Only 81 pitches through 7. He's going 9 unless we put up a crooked number.
-
I'll take 1 run and 6 hits through six any day Obviously, but it wasnt because he had a good game. He got very lucky. Why is everyone talking in the past tense? He's only thrown 82 pitches through 6!

Cubs have had some hard hit balls that have been caught as well. Fukudome flied out to the wall, Soto had a line out to left, the DP in the first inning was a hard hit grounder that Tulowitzki made a great play on. Yeah and those all happened in the first couple innings, when the Cubs drew 2 walks, had 2 hits and scored a run. Since then nothing.
-
That's what I'm saying. He should have given up 4-5 runs already. This reminds me of his start against the Brewers at Wrigley last year when he gave up all those hard hit balls but they were killed by the wind.
-
4 pitch walk. Marquis looks completely awful today, and somehow has only given up 1 run.
-
Hope the bullpen is ready so spring into action.
-
3.2 Pitches per PA today..
-
13 straight....what happened to their patience. I know it's getaway day but wow 68 pitches through 6 innings????
-
12 straight.....
-
Worst game that could be considered a 'pitchers duel' ever. How the heck has Marquis not given up like 5 runs today?
-
Podsednik 4-4 this series jeez. He now has 7 hits on the year.
-
9-1-2 with 1 and 2 being Podsednik and Barmes? Not too worried. Although it is Marquis pitching...
-
This is not like the Cubs to have been retired 10 straight times. Just not our day offensively so far.
