Cubs

[LITTLE NELL]

Anyone have any idea what their record is since Lou quit? Seems like they are winning quite a few games lately and since I have a bet with a Cub fan based on total wins vs. the Sox total wins, this is not good.

17-7 under Quade, including today.

The pressure is off the Cubs, so they will perform.

Its not good in my favor. There is a guy I work with who I make Sox/Cub bets with. 2 weeks ago had me $78 ahead of him but now it is $60.

I wonder if there are statistics about how often a team goes on a roll when they get a new manager. It happened to the O's this year and I want to say KC too.

This isn't a knock on Piniella at all. I'm just curious as to why some teams seem to find new life under a new manager....when it isn't always simply replacing a bad manager.

The pressure is off the White Sox at this point and they have completely given up.

I remember Hawk saying when the O's hired Showalter that you never want to play a team that just got into a brawl or just got a new manager. A week later we played Baltimore and proceeded to lose three of four against them. I'm not saying it's that way with every team, but I guess it's not unheard of to play better with a new manager coming in.

This phenomenon is around in soccer, as well. Usually called the "new manager shine" or "new manager bump".

What are the grounds for the bet? $x per game ahead or just finishing with a better record? Regardless, relax! We have 11 more wins than the Cubs!

2 dollars per win, so I'm up 22.00 but it keeps shrinking.

It'll be interesting to see what they do now that they aren't in contention. 8 game losing streak so far. Little Nell might be just getting a Happy Meal out of this. :D:

Happy meal sounds good right now, these guys might not win another game.
