Over/ Under on Cubs wins

[CFHawk]

As of today the cubs are 47-61, with 54 games to go. Where do you put the over/ under on how many wins the Cubs end up the season with.

I'm going with 68.

 

[pin2win]

i'll take the under on your 68

 

[HawkeyeDug]

I think they can get to 90...

 

[CFHawk]

I think they can get to 90...

I sais wins, not losses.

 

[ShadasRevenge]

I'll go with 65, one game worse than 2006.

 

[woodyk1]

I'll pick 70, but I am not sure why. Maybe it was the offense today.

 

[HawksnWhiteSox]

Well with Zambrano coming back it should easily be 71

 

[Scarecrow]

I'll take the under.

65 wins.

 

[HawkeyeDug]

I sais wins, not losses.

I thought we were talking about next year.

 

[HawkeyeShane]

There are no ties in over/unders...need to set that bar at 67.5 if you're taking 68 as your "over" or 68.5 if your 68 is your "under"...and I'll take the under on either number...this team is mailing it in now and it's hard to do that and win 21 more games.

Judge to woman: You're here in court for your third divorce?
Woman: Yes. First husband cheated on me.
Judge: The 2nd?
Woman: He was a wife beater.
Judge: And now?
Woman: He is a Cubs fan. I wasn't getting any sex. He kept saying, "Wait until next year."

 

[HawkeyeBench]

I'd like to think 101, but I'm gonna go with 75.

 

[hawkfarmer]

I think they go .500 the rest of the way. 74 Ws

The team hasn't been playing .500 ball for the better part of two months, do you really think they'll turn it on now? This is going to be the first Cubs team ever to not spend one day of the season above .500.

Think about that.

Well, how soon we forget the 1997 season when the Cubs lost the 14 games of the year. I am fairly sure that team never spent the season above (or at) .500.

Yeah, looks like the jumped the gun on that one. Oh well, it's out there now permanently etched in the history of the internets.

No worries! I just didn't want anyone to forget the 97 team!

C - Scott Servais
1B - Mark Grace
2B - Ryne Sandberg
SS - Shawon Dunston
3B - Kevin Orie
LF - Doug Glanville
CF - Brian McRae
RF - Sammy Sosa
P - Steve Trachsel, Kevin Foster, Terry Mulholland, Geremi Gonzalez, Frank Castillo, Kent Bottenfield, Turk Wendell, Kevin Tapani, Terry Adams, Mel Rojas, etc.

The next year (1998), the Cubs get to the playoffs! It can happen!

That team doesn't sound that horrible, though some of those guys were getting pretty old. hard to bleieve that was 13 years ago already.

 

[pin2win]

is it next year yet?

 

[HawkeyeShane]

is it next year yet?

It SHOULD be...but thanks to big money contracts the team can't even say "F it" and call up a host of younger players to see what they bring on the major league level...until September that is.
