When will the Cubs win again?

[thejumper5]

Simple question: when will be the next time the Cubs win a baseball game? Here is the upcoming schedule:

6/8 @Cin-Dempster vs. Arroyo
6/9 @Phil-Wells vs. Kendrick
6/10 @Phil-Zambrano vs. Halladay
6/11 @Phil-Garza vs. Lee
6/12 @Phil-Davis vs. Oswalt
6/13-6/16 vs. Milwaukee
6/18-6/20 vs. NYY

I voted for 2012, but only because there wasn't an option for 2014.

They stand at L8 now....with five games left on a very tough road trip...they could be looking at L13 before seeing a drunk, packed, boo'ing Wrigley. Whew.

They will end this crap tomorrow.

Arroyo is the worst pitcher they will face in that span. However, the Cubs make bad pitchers look like Bob Feller, so who knows.

I voted for tomorrow (6-9) with Wells vs Kendrick. Total guess with this team though.

Cubs win! Cubs win! I was wrong! I was wrong!

 

[DesertHawk2010]

Holy Cow!

 

[Churlish79]

Cubs win! Cubs win! I was wrong! I was wrong!

A little excited there, eh?

Yes, I am excited I was wrong! Otherwise, nothing to be excited about. My inner Harry Caray kicked in.

Back to back baby! One more and that's called a streak! Would be the first of the season even.

When have they ever won?

Fun to see the Phillies help the Cubs out with an error. It happens to good teams too!

Notice to the rest of the NL Central: Don't sleep on the Cubbies. They've won 2-straight and have it turned around!

On a serious note, I didn't expect much this year with last year being crap, and the only real off-season moves of note being Pena & Garza. Garza is decent, but Pena and his .220 batting average isn't really a long-term solution. And with a rotation that's been banged up, not surprising at all that it's been an awful season.

This isn't exactly news, but until the Cubs can dump a few of these lousy contracts and get some good young players that can hit in the clutch, and get some stability in the starting rotation (guys staying healthy with an ERA under 5), I don't think things are going to change much. I guess finding a GM with a clue would be a good start..

I honestly hope Hendry doesn't throw the bank at Pujols.. I'd rather go after some younger talent that have more years left in the tank..

Bump. It's so sad that this thread has become relevant for a second consecutive year.

 

[JugadorHawk]

The Cubs may suck but they always seem to play well against my Cardinals. Kind of similar to the Iowa-Minnesota "rivalry."

No, last year was sad,but this year it is all part of the Theo-Plan.
Creative destruction is the plan. Guys from Boston seem to specialize in that approach.

After Friday's close call when the Cubs had to fight like hell to not score in a game they collected 10 hits in, I'm gonna say they're due for a letdown and that they'll win today.

 

[BSpringsteen]

The answer as a life long Cubs fan is Who the **** Cares?

 

[HawkForce]

I've come to accept the fact that I'm never going to see them win a series...But Wrigley is AWESOME....so whatever.
