Dave never updated the list. In my post on April 7th (still
there second from the last post on page 1 of this topic), I
predicted that they'd finish 57-105.[/quote]
That may be because your prediction was made after the season
started and the Cubs had two losses.

So I guess the consensus here is that the first 35 games are
pretty much guaranteed to reflect the eventual result of 162
games?

No, they've played a home-heavy schedule - they could certainly
end up worse over a full 162 games.

Well, at least it's clear they could not possibly do better. ;)

You're talking to the guy who said 72 wins. I'm an optimist!

My mistake. How could I have ever thought otherwise?

Rather than a bad team performing badly when it was 100%
predictable, people should be worried about the emerging reality
that the Ricketts are a dysfunctional and despicable family
(most of them). That has much greater implications for the
future.

I don't care about what kind of family they are as long as they
give the Theocracy the funds that lead to the Cubs winning the
World Series.

And there's growing reason to doubt they will.
