It appears as though even Bitterman was overly optimistic. Contemplate that.

Who would have believed 73 was optimistic?

I think most people expected the Theocracy to seriously stray from their announced plan of true, fundamental rebuilding, without concern about trying to win quickly.  I certainly expected them to cave and make moves somewhere along the way to eke out a few more wins this summer with pointless moves marginally improving the team in the short term, while doing nothing to help in the long term and perhaps even to sacrifice the long term a bit.

They really haven't, and that is great, even if it means the team ends up with only 60 wins.

With a record of 51-86, the Cubs need to win 12 of their remaining 25 games to avoid a 100 loss season.

The rest of the schedule:

At Pittsburgh, 3
At Houston, 3
Pittsburgh, 4
Cincinnati, 3
St. Louis, 3
At Colorado, 3
At Arizona, 3
Houston, 3

Current records against those teams:

Pittsburgh, 3-6
Houston, 5-4
Cincinnati, 4-9
St. Louis, 6-8
Colorado, 2-1,
Arizona, 3-3

If the Cubs split with Houston, Colorado, and Arizona (6-6), they will need to finish 6-7 against the contenders.  With Germano, Rusin, and Volstad in the rotation, that is not going to happen.

Actually, by Price is Right rules, we're all over...so we all lose.
