CUBS are 18-8 when they hit a sacrifice fly.... 47-53 when they don't Go CUBS !!

Great job by Marshall, Theriot, et al to get out of that one !!!

CUBS are 4-6 with Mike Reilly's crew on the field.... 0-1 with Eric Cooper behind the plate. Go CUBS !!!

66 through 4 innings.

CUBS are 51-22 when they score first in the game.... 14-39 when they don't CUBS are 29-19 when they score in the first inning.... 36-42 when they don't Go CUBS !!!

Here's another way to look at the remaining 36 games......... Opponent record Pct remain E(wins) Arizona 1-2 0.333 3 1 Milwaukee 7-5 0.583 3 2 Houston 4-5 0.444 6 3 Los Angeles 1-2 0.333 4 1 Pittsburgh 4-5 0.444 6 3 St. Louis 7-4 0.636 5 3 Cincinnati 5-7 0.417 6 3 Florida 0-3 0.000 3 0 totals 36 16 Kind of depressing, no?

I would say the schedule is a cake walk, the problem is the Cubs keep getting stuck in the frosting. Well done !!

I blame CT. :D Master of the obvious, eh? :wink:

But then look at their record vs teams outside the division. They've beaten up on some bad teams, White Sox, Nationals, Giants, while struggling versus every contender or pseudo contender in the rest of the NL, AZ, LA, SD, NYM, PHI, ATL, with the lone exception of Colorado. Of course, the sweep against FLA muddies that picture a bit. While that's all true, 26 of our last 36 games are against NL Central opponents. The only outsiders being Arizona, Los Angeles & Florida. Bottom line.... this is no elite team, and our schedule is no cake walk.

I just took what ESPN showed and extrapolated it out to the end of the season. They still seem to think that Jennings is going to pitch tomorrow against the Pirates, so I went with it.

It sure as hell is !! (when you see it in your rear view mirror) :wink:

The question arose about the lineup being intact for how long..... the answer is from the end of the all star break (Fri 13 July) through last Saturday (18 Aug), the CUBS' rotation was Zambrano, Lilly, Marquis, Hill, Marshall without exception. (Game 88 through game 122, 35 consecutive games) Prior to that..... the CUBS used the rotation of Zambrano, Hill, Marshall, Marquis, & Lilly from Sun 20 May (Game 42) through the all star break, Sun 08 July (Game 87) without exception. That's 46 consecutive games. Not a whole lot of manipulation of the rotation going on. The rest of the way looks like this. Of course, rainouts and September callups will totally rearrange these matchups, but here's what I have at the moment.....
