why

Often times I am asked "soooo how are those Cubs looking?" This question typically has one of two answers.... either GREAT or uggggh. So to track how the Cubs are doing (at least in my opinion) I give you the 2011 Cubs Hope/Despair Index which should track right along with the cubs performance through the baseball season.

Hope is back on the rise as the Cubs have some good outings and experience a brief stint at the top of the NL Central and now only sit a half game back.

Despair on the rise as the cubs are a game under 500, two starters are on the DL, and I woke up this morning to see that they lost 11-2 to Houston

4/3/2011 - 8:30pm

Both indexes stay the same as the Cubs loose the opening series of the 2011 season but Zambrano goes 7 solid innings in the win yesterday and Garza throws 12Ks in today's loss.

4/1/2011 - 3:30pm - Opening Day Part2

Despair continues to rise as Cubs loose home opener to Pirates

4/1/2011 - 2:57pm - Opening Day Part1

Hope index drops and despair index rises as Pirates hit a Grand Slam in the top of the 5th

3/31/2011 - The PreSeason

Hope Index goes up as Friday is Opening Day and the Cubs shed the dead weight that was Carlos Silva.
