The high for last season was 3 SB on Sat 21 May in a 5-3 loss to the white sox. Can't tell you when they last had 4. Fred, just curious, what's with the Red Lion avatar? I have a night class at DePaul that meets there every couple weeks. That's my new corporate logo.

Sample size Seriously, this is a real trend here.... last year, the CUBS were 79-0 when then scored more runs than the opponents, and the year before 89-0. Outscoring the opponents seems to be real important to winning; the CUBS should look into it further !!

Cubs are also 5-0 in non-Shawn Es-- I mean, in non-Glendon Rusch starts. Keep the streak alive! Isn't that curious.... the CUBS are also 5-0 in games where they don't face Bronson Arroyo !!! They're also 5-0 in games where they score more runs than the opponent, and 0-2 in games where they score less. :D Hey, bud.... you're stepping on my toes there !! :evil: Oh, and btw..... they're also 5-0 in games when they take at least 1 walk.
