On The Mark
Published 4/27/2007 by Cubnut at A Hundred Next Years
... Mark Prior has been trying to pitch for what looks like two-plus years with the kind of damage in his shoulder that would have you or I thinking about worker’s compensation even though our jobs probably require little more than sitting in from of a computer much of the day. You own him an apology, and if he comes back in the way Dr. Andrews believes he can, many Cubs fans don’t deserve to reap the benefits. ...

Inside Vegas: Division Series Edition

... "I can't emphasize this enough. No team in the postseason is worse than 9-1 to win it all. All four teams in the NL, no matter who wins tonight, are essentially even. So the Cubs have as good a shot as anyone."No team being worse then 9:1 means each postseason team has at least a 10% chance of winning it all. Even if you give the other six teams the minimum, and the Red Sox and Yankees the remaining percentage, that's still only 20% each. And, quite obviously, that's completely unrealistic. If I had to guess, Sheehan probably wouldn't put any team above 14-15%. But their the Yankees are, damn near 1 in 4 odds. ...

The All-Star break is still a few weeks away (July 15th), but yesterday the Cubs unceremoniously reached the halfway point of the 2008 season. Let's take a quick look at where we've been, where we are, and where we're heading. Last year at this time, the Cubs were an even .500 at 39-39. And they had just won 8 of 10 and 7 straight to get there. They were sitting 6.5 back of the Milwaukee Brewers and 3 game up on the St. Louis Cardinals. Derrek Lee was leading the offensive regulars with a .343 BA in 243 ABs. (Lil Mikey was hitting .408 in 76 ABs.) Aramis Ramirez and Alfonso Soriano were leading the team in HRs with 15 each ...
