I'll make the proclamation right here that I will not be betting with anyone on this board and I laugh at the suggestion that betting on something is a display of masculinity or confidence.

Is Steve on vacation? Seems strange that he hasn't posted about this much lately.

The Cubs are struggling. He generally stays quiet when they do poorly and the Sox are winning or doing decent. If the Sox really start scuffling and/or the Cubs beat up on the Reds again next week, he will be back.

The truth is, it IS still early and even if it were late, they are 2.5 games out of the playoffs.

Great. They're a shitshow who can't beat a good team nor pitch well enough to win playoff series if they scam a wildcard somehow but lets give them another month of playing .500 before we declare them mediocre .

The Wild Cards are probably not coming out of the NL Central.

it is early, until the bottom of the 5th, of the the 81st game. Cubs will need to win their division to get in to the playoff's. The NL Central is a shit-show so far.

Tomorrow starts June and at that point, you can no longer say "its early" in the season.

No worries. All they have to do is play .600 ball from here on out and they win 90 games. How many more do they have against the Reds?

The Cubs have played .602 ball for the last 14 regular season months. You've made me feel a lot better about a 90+ win 2017 campaign. Thanks man.

It was 90 or above. And yes, but not for $100. Since you believe it to be impossible, you seem willing to give me odds as well.

It is getting annoying to see so many runners left on base. They were gifted tons of walks on Monday and didn't turn those into runs. It seems like Addy can barely throw to first without the ball hitting the dirt. Our starters keep finding ways to disappoint. Heyward's looked better than I thought possible and Baez has been ok. But the rest of the hitters are below my expectations.

No panic for me. Just a lot of disappointment that my investment in watching games hasn't produced much enjoyment.

It's not impossible. I'm just wondering why Steve stopped posting about it after being so certain just a little bit ago.

That's when it was chalk , actual chalk to get to 90

It sounds like you are more willing to give odds for a 90 wins bet.

I wonder if this will be like the Sox last year, when Steve predicted them to win something like 84 games, and then proclaimed he was right when they won 78 games.

84 wins and Steve has a shot!

Steve is a tool. That answers most everything.

You as well! I don't care what Nas always says about you.

We were told he is the best infielder in the game by far.

We have been pretty spoiled here with 1st basemen over the last ~15 years. Konerko (especially pre 2010) and Rizzo have saved MANY errors from the left side of the infield over their years.
