13-5 entering the bottom of the 9th. Oddly enough the Cubs led 4-0 in the top of the 6th before Marquis walked a couple of batters and then Cotts walked a batter and gave up a grand slam. All down hill after that. Not much you can do on a day like this.

I wanted to get this published before the game thread today since the numbers will change after today's games. The table is too large to post here so click on the link below.

The last 2 column headers in the table log5-wpct and log5-pythag-wpct is the only thing I assume you need an explanation for. If not, you probably couldn't find your way here anyway....

This past Monday, several Chicago Cubbies spent their off day at the All State Arena for WWE Monday Night Raw. After getting a chance to visit backstage, the man with the filthy slider[slash]horribly annoying glove fidget and reliever Bob Howry stopped by the new Intercontinental Champion's home, better known as Santino's Casa.
