    I watched the documentary "Fastball" tonight: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5434972/

    Fascinating stuff with commentary from (former) players as well as scientists

      I'll bet they finish the year with better than the 89-73 record you seem to be predicting.
      Well I don't think they are bad enough yet to make a bet that they would miss the playoffs. Still about a 1 in 20 chance now.

        Quite the show in the HR contest last night.
        It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

          Adding the clock and brackets to the HR contest has made it enjoyable again.

            They would finish with an 89-73 record, which is a .549 record, still good enough to comfortably make the second wildcard.
            So yes, folks, it is still possible for the Cubs to blow this.
            Cubs had a chance to put this away, but haven't been able to put everyone out.
            FINAL REGULAR SEASON
            CUBS 103 Wins, 58 Losses, 1 Tie. Best record in the Major Leagues this year.

            You sure nailed that one BK

                Sounds like a friend of mine from HS who kept saying negative things about the Cubs this season. He kept making predictions like that and none of them happened.

                  I'm sure it's kind of like Ben who was just trolling to provoke a reaction.

                    I couldn't root for the ****head Jays, but I won't mind seeing Texas kick their asses.

                          Yep, after their slump, they settled down. Congrats to the Cubs on a great season. They certainly earned it. I did say there was a 1-20 chance of them not making the playoffs.

                            Yeah, if you say enough things you're bound to be right about one of them. Which was about it.

                              At the time I was fascinated by the spectacle that they could piss it all away.

                                7-0 for the Blue Jays. And just like that, they are in the exact same spot they would be if they took the division.
