I have this morning added the 2008 Walk Watch to the right sidebar, keeping track of the Cubs' record pace in drawing walks this season. As of this morning it contains the following information:

Cubs' 2008 walk total: 201 (4.56 per game)

Full season pace: 740 (club record: 650 in 1975)

Cubs' 2006 walk total for entire season: 395

At current pace, will pass 2006 total on: July 4 at St. Louis

At current pace, will break club record on: September 7 at Cincinnati

I'll update this after each game. (2006 is included for reference because that team is an extreme example of NOT drawing walks.)
