Welcome to Go Cubs Go

Seeing as we are in the month of September, and the Cubs are coming off of an amazing 20-8 month of August, it would be nice to revisit a previous post about the Cubs winning 100 games.

Back when I wrote, I said the Cubs would need to win two games in every series in order to finish with exactly 100 wins.  The Cubs are actually one game over that mark right now as they swept the Pittsburgh Pirates last week.  Therefore, the Cubs would still need to win two games in every series (they can only afford to lose one series), if they want to finish the season with 100 wins.

Take a look at the final schedule; Cubs currently at 85-52 record

3 vs HOUSTON (Cubs with 6-6 record in 2008)
3 at CINCINNATI (Cubs with 7-5 record in 2008)
3 at ST LOUIS (Cubs with 5-4 record in 2008)
3 at HOUSTON
3 vs MILWAUKEE (Cubs with 6-4 record in 2008)
3 vs ST LOUIS
4 at NEW YORK METS (Cubs with 2-0 record in 2008)
3 at MILWAUKEE

With the exception of Cincinnati, the Cubs play only teams that are above the .500 mark.

Meanwhile, the Cubs are on their way to their third straight loss as they trail Houston 0-2 in the top of the eighth: situation: two on, nobody out.  Roy Oswalt has shut the Cubs down the entire game thusfar.  With Milwaukee having lost earlier today, the “Magic Number” continues to decrease, however, it seems as though the Cubs will not pick up another game on the Brewers today.  A wild pitch by Jeff Samardzja has put the Astros ahead 3-0.

Go Cubs!
