Let's start with the Cubs (3rd highest MLB payroll), who beat the Mets (5th highest MLB payroll) in the battle of "teams who are getting the least bang for their buck". Thanks to winning seven of Mike Quade's first ten games as manager, the Cubs now have 58 wins. With 27 games left, they only need to go 5-22 to avoid losing 100 games, and 9-18 to exceed the win total of the putrid 2006 Cubs (which was looking doubtful not too long ago). Hey, why stop there? If the Cubs can go 15-12 the rest of the way, they wouldn't even lose 90 games! Go for it, Cubbies!
On to the Bears. Instead of panicking about a winless preseason, consider this - in 2008, the Detroit Lions went 4-0 in the preseason, then proceeded to go 0-16 in the regular season. Therefore, it's only logical to expect that a team that goes 0-4 in the preseason will go 16-0 in the regular season! It's official - you can book your tickets to Arlington Texas for Super Bowl XLV!
And to top it all off, college football starts tomorrow too! All this good fortune at once!
