Only Need 8 Out Of 10

This page suggested that a 15-9 April was the kind of start the Cubs should have given their schedule. Clearly 7-7 is not the easiest path to 15-9. But looking at the schedule shows it is still attainable.

With no worse than a split in St. Louis and the Cubs could easily rattle off their next 6 in a row.

For that to happen all that is needed is for Nomar, Ramirez and Barrett to start hitting, Wood to start pitching, and Hawkins to stop pitching with one run leads.

Given the likelihood of all that happening, chalk up a projected April record of 12-12.
