Cubs were a .700 team for most of the year

The Cubs played .701 ball for the first 67 games (47-20). Then they played .250 ball for three weeks (5-15). After that they came within one win of matching that .701 percentage for the balance of the year. The 51-23 mark for the remainder of the season is a .689 winning percentage. 52-22 would have made it .702. (If they had won the tie game to make it 52-23, that would have been .693.)

So those 3 awful weeks in July cost us a .700 winning PCT for the year. I still think it was because we lost Fowler.

"Cubs have morphed into one of the worst teams in baseball. Not a chance in hell they would win a single playoff game."

It's usually more interesting to the reader if your thread has a point.

Perhaps the point is that those three weeks were an aberration that didn't make the Cubs the worst team in baseball that couldn't win a playoff game?
