I remember being flamed horribly for saying the Cubs wouldn't sniff the playoffs before the season started. This is why.

[THAY3R]

You still would deserve to be flamed.

Cubs have a great chance at the playoffs, and will definitely be in contention in September.

[TalkingDonkey]

Other than the fact that they are surrounded by mind-numbingly bad teams, what makes you assess their chances at "great?"

[THAY3R]

The fact that they are probably the best team in the division.

[Case Closed]

First to 85 wins the NL central!

Not if they keep pulling Rich Hill out of the game after giving up 0 runs on 66 [censored] pitches. Idiots.

[THAY3R]

They did that because Z went for like 130 pitches yesterday. You gotta even it out sometimes.

I failed to consider this very valid concern.

funny how they pull hill yet should have ph for lilly after 5 innings the other night with 2 out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, but didn't. Then, obv, pulled him in the middle of the 6th.
