How many games will Cubs win next year?

[Jason]

I am thinking as of right now... 80+.

[John]

161 lol. We wont show up for the last one.

[Zamby38]

Lol.
you are right about that one

[Waveland007]

I want to see what our starting rotation is before I guess lol

[HOLYCOW!25]

Yea, I wanna see the starting rotation too, but I think if we get 2 more good pitchers, it'll be over 90.

[diehardnorthsider]

I think it's way to early to predict. I'm gonna wait and see what other moves Jimbo makes before I vote.

[LeeEila's/rant]

Still need pitching. Key to + 500 ball is pitching.

[Zamby38]

Yes that is true.
Cubs need 1 or 2 more starters to solidify the rotation, and possibly add a bullpen arm.

[Webgem]

80 plus right now...:D :D ....waiting for some pitching..;)

[ChiCubs1984]

I am going with 84-78. Thats if the team stays as is. IF we get some starting pitching help via free agency or trade. I will go 90. My heart wants to say 117-45 Breaking the 1906 record....lol

[billbucknersjersey22]

I will vote later. I want to see Jim Hendry's next rabbit.

But, if I was forced to vote now, I would say they will win almost every game that they play if they are ahead when the last out is made in the game. How's that for being a jokester?

I hate to bring up this thread because it is ancient... but I just wanted to give ChiCubs1984 major props... he almost matched it exactly!!!

[TheBenjamin]

ditto. off by 1 game

[NYyankees]

80+ IMO

[CubsFan23]

I went with my heart and said 90+. If I went with my head I would say 80+. I think our top 3 pitchers are great but Leiber (Injury risk and old) Marquis (wears down as season progresses) Dempster (can he really make the transition back to starter) and Gallagher, Marshall, and Hart (3 unproven rookies-yes I know Marshall has experience) worries me. I think our lineup is pretty decent. Still worry about Pie's production and Theriot's, as well as wanting Soriano to move down in the order. Overall I think we have a strong team in a weak division.

[ChiCubs1984]

Thanks everyone for the props! What I want is 11 more wins in October so we can all celebrate like its 1908...lol

[TheBenjamin]

this was actually last years poll..... for those who just voted in it
