The Official 2007 Chicago Cubs Thread - Page 117

Two Q's.

1)How do trades past today work? I know it has something to do with waivers, but that's all I know.

2)If the playoffs started today and it was Cubs v Arizona, Mets v Dodgers, Bo Sox v Cleveland, and Tigers v Angels; with this roster as is, what are the Cubs chances (without homerism if possible). 25%?

Too win the World Series? I'd say 8-10%. Baseball Prospectus odds of winning 2006 World Series on Oct 3 (day after Reg Season ended).
NYY 97-65, 21.8%
NYM 97-65, 16.8%
MIN 96-66, 15.8%
OAK 93-69, 11.4%
DET 95-67, 10.6%
SD 88-74, 10.1%
LAD 88-74, 8.5%
STL 83-78, 4.7%

Yeah, 25% seems too high for any team.

3 walks in 3 innings on 63 pitches. The third time through the order is scaring me already.

Well done Jacque.

That is the first time I can ever recall a ball bouncing over the wall at wrigley for a ground rule double.

good job getting out of it with only 1 run. Need to get the sticks going against this guy.

Not sure how you figure that the Cubs would be in the playoffs if they started today.

Couldn't ask for much more than the chance we just blew. Lee pops a hanging curve up.

not going to get a better pitch. I'm fine with his apporach. He just missed it.
