Come on !! Make this more interesting..... prove common sense is common !!!

If I had to bet, I'd say nowhere near as poorly as you think. PROVE HIM WRONG. A) At least Grassbass did. At the very least he had the brains and motivation to go and find the stats, which is more than can be said for you. All you did was piss and moan. B) I don't think they even keep stats on such a thing. Every time the CUBS blow 2 leads in a week this question seems to come up. I recall considering the issue a couple of years ago..... yes, I know that things do change over time...... but back then, over the course of two seasons, the CUBS actually scored immediately after the opponent did slightly more often than the opponent scored immediately after the CUBS did. The numbers were so close, that I was content to write it off as statistically insignificant and consider it one of those things that evens out over time. I have nothing on other teams to compare against the CUBS.

You can do it, Gary !! I got faith in ya, man !! :wink:

Gentlemen, I am not complaining..... merely surprised !! Tell ya what..... Mike, how 'bout you keep starting threads until the CUBS lose (or tomorrow, whichever comes first), and then Gary, how 'bout you take over after that ???? Meanwhile, I'm going to Ardmore. See ya !!!

Where did that come from ??? :shock: http://a.espncdn.com/i/headshots/mlb/players/65/30196.jpg Mathew A. Latos (12-5) ERA = 2.32, WHIP = 0.99 vs. http://a.espncdn.com/i/headshots/mlb/players/65/4499.jpg Carlos Alberto Zambrano (4-6) ERA = 5.27, WHIP = 1.77 Go CUBS !!

Maybe we should have pitched Coleman ?? :scratch:
