    Two more series' left and the Cubs are 12.5 back. That losing streak didn't help, but if they can make up a game or two, they're in good shape heading into the Cardinals difficult part of the schedule.

    Prior out THis is gonna be one tired bullpen

    He got his hit yesterday... That was his June hit. Flames was hoping for his July hit.

    I'm not trying to put you down, but you won't find many people here who pay attention to pitchers' W-L records, especially not ones that date back to the 1980's. You're right about folks here not valuing W/L, but nolanwood DOES make a good point about the relative value in the contracts the Cubs are paying Prior and Z. If those numbers were redistributed, I don't think anyone would have a problem. I Would! You don't pay someone with that little service time $9MM. I know your point is production, but mine is that you must have guys with less than 6 years service time (and thus a bargain salary) producing for you. And you must be fiscally responsible with veterans. If you don't, you can't afford to put quality pieces on the rest of the roster.

    I was looking. :) :twisted: that's the point. Don't count anyone out. It wouldn't shock me.

    STL 4-2 vs the dregs of the division Cubs 4-1 vs the sox and Brewers. If they can keep this up thorough this stretch, the division is not an unrealistic goal. Ah yes, the SMALL sample size STL 26-9 vs the NL Central CHC 18-14 vs NL Central 4-2 is a .667 pace, 4-1 is an .800 pace. How realistic is expecting the Cubs to win 8 of every 10 games? It has nothing to do with sample size. It was an update of my original post. 1) this stretch is key, 2) here's how they're doing thus far. Sorry I wasn't clearer.

    Will they make another push like last year?

    If you think Hairston Walker and Cedeno will all be on the bench, how will Neifi cover 2nd and SS?

    yeah end of july and August the cards play Sd, LA, FLA, Atl, and a quality Cubs team 7 times

    I got squirtgun... ...um ...yeah

    Agreed. This stretch is a make or break for the wildcard and the division. In my mind its all build up for the Cardinals series.

    What, they don't get WGN in Romania? Who knew? :lol: If the Cubs can stay within ten games of the Cards after that stretch, they'll be in good shape. Maybe not for the division, but they'll be right in it for the WC I think this stretch is key. If our cubbies can start the series with the cards back by less than 10, i think the've got a shot at the division. If they start that series more than 15 back, chances are slim. The Cards have a light schedule in july, so the cubs are going to have to play the kind of ball that saw them take 2 of 3 from the Sox.

    Approaching the thrre game series between the Cubs and Cards on July 22nd, here are each teams schedules. Cubs 3@CWS .690 3vsMIL .451 3vsWAS .583 4@ATL .535 3@FLA .542 4vsPIT .457 4@CIN .403 Cards 4vsPIT .457 2vsCIN .403 4vsCOL .314 4@ARi .493 3@SF .429 3vsHOU .443 3vsMIL .451 How many games back do you expect the CUbs to be when that series begins. Realistically, it could be 12-15 at that point.

    Vance has officially gone off the deep end. I'm waiting for the evil laugh.

    The rash of injuries could be blessings in disguise. If the Cubs make the playoffs, Prior and Wood won't be run down by overuse.

    Maybe an option of "no MLB contract" would cover retirement, Japan, and minor league contracts and the guy who just gets no offers.
  19. Bull
    what if you think someone will retire?

    Speech! Speech!!! a well deserved honour

    Now you've effectively ruined this board for me (j/k) I was hoping this would be a place I'd never have to see that name. (BTW) I was wood on the cubs.com board
