Will the Cubs win? No, but it could go either way.

    dmick89,

    Didn’t like them at the time but they look better now. Probably because of better fabric and a better cut, plus guys wearing them better with more high socks etc. Also way fewer pornstaches.

    dmick89,

    Disagree on Trout. MVP talents that young are very very rare. The only thing that could have stopped him is a freak injury.

    The Giants are beating (up) the Natinals 7–1. In reality, they are the team that is the biggest threat to the Cubs’ postseason position.

    The Giants are also a threat, but the Nationals by record and run differential are the only ones even approaching the class of the Cubs.

    Rizzo the Rat,

    I am speaking of seeding. The Giants do quite well as underdogs in the postseason, but they are less of a threat to topple the Cubs for the best record in the league (even though the briefly held the best record a number of weeks ago).

    According to 538, the Cubs are favored to win every game for the rest of the season. 121 wins sounds pretty nice. (dying laughing)
