My list was just a guideline on one possible way to get there and just how tricky it will be if they don't win every remaining series.<br /><br />I can't see the Cubs, Brewers and Phillies ALL tanking down the stretch (right?)<br /><br />Mike Freirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326676289092572994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-85848946607927184092019-09-13T12:26:15.941-04:002019-09-13T12:26:15.941-04:0012-4 may not be necessary - Cubs have a bunch of C...12-4 may not be necessary - Cubs have a bunch of Cards games coming up, and Yelich is out for Milwaukee, a blow that has to impact their win-loss record.<br /><br />10-6 does not feel like enough - I am guessing 11-5 may do it.<br /><br />They just have to win like heck.

It's a true fact. Two games out today, could be one game tomorrow. Or three! We're right in it. <br /><br />I am enjoying this, one game at a time.<br /><br />Starters are going to have to keep up the high-quality performances. Good to see Stroman join the party.<br /><br />My preseason pick was 86 wins, falling short of WC2. <br /><br />I don't believe in doing this kind of math, as described in the article. For now, my hope is 2-1 against LA. Get through the weekend. See where we are at after that. <br /><br />This is fun.<br /><br />In the AL, four teams are on pace to lose 100 games. Three more AL teams also terrible, and not trying, but at least they get to play against four other teams that are not trying . . . even harder. So many fans thrilled to be tanking, obsessed with prospects, the owners getting rich without even trying, and all those fabulous draft picks with the WS rings to come.<br /><br />Hey, it worked for the Knicks!<br /><br />Oh, wait.<br /><br />Jimmy<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
