Some Perspective

On Friday, the best case for the Cubs weekend was to return home with 62 losses, have one team in front of them with 59 losses, and 4 with 60 losses. That would have given the Cubs a 2 game pickup on the lead and major headway against the other teams they trail.

Just in case you are still suffering from the delusion that 2006 hasn't started (check the clock above to see when the next pitch that matters is thrown), the result was the Cubs with 64 losses, one team with 59 losses, and only 1 team with 60 losses. The other three teams only have 58.

The issue wasn't if picking up 2 games was a bad thing. The issue was believing this was possible.
