    Fourth place looks good on the hapless Cubbies.

    Maddux's is 1.35 with 24 strike outs. He pitched Saturday which screwed up my predictions. Zambrano and Rusch lost which I predicted so I woulda had this freakin' contest won if Florida didn't suck so badly on Monday. Oh an Marshall surprised the hell outta me on Tuesday. LMAO, that'll probably be the last time he pitches that good all season.

    Looks to me like the Cubs will finish fourth or fifth since Cincinnati is kicking some ass this year and the Brewers obvioulsy have the Cubs number.

    Watch out Pittsburgh, ya got some competition for LAST.

    The Cubs went 3-3.

    The point differential was: Cubs: 22 Opponents: 38 (total difference of 16)

    Maddux is at 1.35 with 24K

    Desert Rat: .500 Cubs: 30 Opponents: 31
    CC: .333 Cubs: 26 Oppinents: 29
    Sweet Yamz: .500 Cubs: 28 Opponents: 28
    Gramps: .333 Cubs: 20 Opponents: 30
    Newfie .667 Cubs: 24 Opponents: 20

    Given this: Desert Rat beats out Yamz for 1st, Yamz takes 2nd, and then Gramps comes in third since his point differential is closest out of CC, himself, and Newfie.

    Thanks for playing boys. CC, I'm sending you Gramps prize because I hate the White Sox...Just kidding.

    PM your addresses to me Yamz and Desert Rat. Packages will go out tomorrow.

    And CC, that Marshall kid, I've been using him as a spot starter in my Fantasy BBall leagues, the kid is one of the Cubs best prospects, and they've always got great young pitching, it's just a matter of how soon before Larry Rothchild and Baker ruin the pitching.

    Thanks for putting this on Mac. Great idea for a contest, just too bad you didn't get a little more of a challenge to your "stastical abilities" with a bunch of contestants!!!

    Congrats to the winners!

    "...How oft it happens when one's smoking,
    The tamper's missing from it's shelf,
    And one goes with one's finger poking
    Into the bowl and burns oneself.
    If in the pipe such pain doth dwell
    How hot must be the pains of Hell!

    Thus o'er my pipe in contemplation
    Of such things - I can constantly
    Indulge in fruitful meditation,
    And so, puffing contentedly,
    On land, at sea, at home, abroad,
    I smoke my pipe and worship God."

    How many runs have the Chicago Cubs scored in the entire month of May so far (the last five games)? Hint: You can count them on one hand even with a couple of fingers missing!

    C'mon, someone please go and look and post it here!

    Oh MAN do the Cubs

    SUCK
