First off I did not blame anyone for what happened. I just think I deserve a C- and my profs think I don't.

I won't even bother harping on the fact that you obviously do blame other people, since others are handling that. I would like to address the other part:

I was 60 points away from a C- out of 1000 total points.
Even though I got a B on both my lab final and lecture final they still don't think I deserve the C-. what bitches.

Looks like you were 60 points away from a C-, out of 1000 total points.

So, do you think you are worthy of a C-? Or is it that you think you have the right to it?
If you think you are "worthy" of it, you must have a different definition of "60 points away from" than the rest of us. If you think you have "the right to" a C-, well, you have some entitlement issues.
Let's see if we can break this down:
You did not accumulate the necessary points throughout the semester to have your grade fall within the score range which is labeled C-. Instead, your score appears to have been 60 points (6% of all total points, around 1/16th, and clearly quite a larger fraction of the total points accumulated by you (I'm assuming some number closer to 600? so closer to 10% of your points)) too low to qualify as a C-. This means that you were qualified, worthy of, and deserving, some lower score than a C-. What that grade is (is there a D-? I don't even know) I don't know, but clearly the grade which you earned is not a C- by anyone's standards.
If you think that the teacher should obviously count your grade as higher because of how good your (late) work was or how clear it was that you (could have) mastered the material (if you had taken the time to show up for class and do the work, etc), you're just a toolbox.
It makes me very sad that you might get your way. However, if I can find some way of spending $20 or so and making sure that you don't, and that would make me an asshat, I'd be fine with that.
