No competition for the Cubs
June 23rd, 2008 at 04:42pm Matt Trowbridge
People keep talking about the Cubs adding another starting pitcher, figuring they will need another one for the playoffs. That’s the only reason to talk about adding anything, because the regular season doesn’t figure to pose any problems for the best Cubs team of our lifetime (assuming you are under 90 years old). The rest of the National League is pathetic. The NL has hit far better than the AL this year, leading many to speculate that the Senior Circuit had finally caught up. Not so. Eleven of the 14 AL teams have winning records in interleague play. Even the Royals are 9-3. Overall, the AL is 25 games above .500 and the NL, obviously, 25 games below.

the cubs might be good now but as we have learned from the past, o i don’t know 100 years, they WILL lose their lead in the NL central. and if they do make the playoffs the cubs fans will just be upset once again when they get swept in the first round like last time..can you say WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR ?
