    Something I noticed about MLB today looking at standings

    Everyone has been hyping the Cubs all season long and they're the best team this year but check this out. The Cubs could win EVERY game for the rest of the season and they still wouldn't break the MLB single season wins record. They wouldn't even tie it by running the table. How impressive does that record look now considering how dominant the Cubs have been this season? They've destroyed their division and just about every contending team this year and still not even close to the record. Damn.

    They've been great in 2nd half and started out hot

    but after going 25-6

    they were 28-29 the rest of the first half. So for 2 months they were a sub .500 team

    that is why they won't get close to the records

    Where's all the homers that were talking about this being the best team ever back in April? I remember seeing about a half a dozen threads talking about how the Cubs will break the MLB wins record, break the scoring record and run differential record, Jake winning 30 games etc. etc. Lol.
