Had the Cubs @ 85

The emperor has no clothes, boys. It's funny that you can use all the latest computer models, piss on batting average and RBI, create esoteric statistics and all manner of high-minded concepts and still predict the same outcomes as Rick Telander.

Bottom line: It's a funny game.

so what you're saying is the Sox could win the World Series next year. You wanna split a season ticket package?

Only the White Sox don't pay attention to the Bible that is Baseball Prospectus.

Only 12 games off on the Cubs! Definitely bragworthy!
