10.19.16 | can't wait for this indians world series tbh
tho a cubs/indians series would be the series of the century no matter the outcome |
TVC15
10.19.16 | As long as the Dodgers don't win the World Series I'll be happy |
Frippertronics
10.19.16 | yeah they're no even year giants lol |
wham49
10.19.16 | indians are the team at this point boys, I'd be happy for them. the Cubs are showing their weakness, same one as last year, no clutch hitting, just one time on accident for christ sakes, always take a dump |
NordicMindset
10.19.16 | As a Yankee fan I'm cheering Indians only for Miller, I miss that dude so much |
Storm In A Teacup
10.19.16 | Who's the best team in the last decade? Giants. Nuff said. |
Divaman
10.19.16 | Guys, hang in there. Even assuming the Dodgers win tonight, the series will only be 2-1.
My song suggestion -- "Deacon Blues" by Steely Dan from the album "Aja":
"They got a name for the winners of the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues" |
Storm In A Teacup
10.19.16 | Yeah guys it will only be 2-1 and the Giants still only won 3 world series since 2010! It'll be okay! |
wham49
10.19.16 | Deacon Blues is a good rec. Also, you guys are not Cubs fans, they probably will not make it home to Wrigley, I've seen this many times before, they turn from world beaters to shit in one pitch.
also, the Yanks were hailed as the Team of the 90's when they didnt even show up till 96 so it is all relative |
Storm In A Teacup
10.19.16 | "also, the Yanks were hailed as the Team of the 90's when they didnt even show up till 96 so it is all relative"
what am I supposed to get out of this sentence |
wham49
10.19.16 | also even the losers should not have made the list, it is too positive,
"even the losers get lucky some times"
unless your the Cubs |
Storm In A Teacup
10.19.16 | oh I get it. the giants don't have to win anymore to be the 2010 Yankees |
wham49
10.19.16 | I guess, the point was F everybody else your team has won 3 times in 10 years, who cares what others say |
Storm In A Teacup
10.19.16 | haha ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! remembering those feelings are great too. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.19.16 | The Giants are so great I'm wide awake and not tired and I had to think about if it was real that they were actually out of the playoffs. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.19.16 | Just need the Thunder to come through now. |
calmrose
10.19.16 | Cubs sure picked the wrong time to enter a hitting slump which is exactly what happened last year against the Mets
Only somewhat positive is that the series is still early at 2-1, but damn, 18 consecutive scoreless innings and everyone not named Bryant and Baez struggling at the plate, waiting for Rizzo to get going, he's struggling hard right now
Let's see what tomorrow brings, new game, another opportunity to get the offense going, but tonight's game was bad, Arrieta struggling also really concerns me |
BallsToTheWall
10.19.16 | Blame Steve Bartman. |
calmrose
10.19.16 | ^no
I hate that people still blame him for the Cubs not making the World Series in 2003 |
BallsToTheWall
10.19.16 | Me too really, he hot the short end of the stick. Others went after the ball too. It's funny that Frank kaminsky wore a Bartman 44 Cubs jersey. |
DominionMM1
10.19.16 | cubs lost tonight? kinda bittersweet considering who theyre playing but oh well. |
NordicMindset
10.19.16 | Arrieta's been on the downturn ever since right before the ASB, not surprised to see him falter when the Cubbies need him the most |
porcupinetheater
10.19.16 | Yeah, Rizzo's tanking this entire postseason. Thank God I was with buddies at a bar tonight so as not to drown in isolated sorrow |
Divaman
10.19.16 | Not a Cubs fan, but I've been watching baseball for a lot of years, and I still think they're going to the Series. Think the Indians are going to win it all, though. It's one of those things where Cleveland hasn't won anything in all those years, and now I think they're going to get Cavs/Indians as champs back to back.
Btw, I don't really like Beck, but I'm surprised no one has given you his song "Loser" yet. |
wham49
10.19.16 | tonight is another oppurtunity to tank, I'm lost, they will not go back to Wrigley, always tank when it counts |
Titan
10.19.16 | 'also, the Yanks were hailed as the Team of the 90's when they didnt even show up till 96 so it is all relative'
wham bro:
we made the playoffs in 95, and lost in the ALDS
we had the best record in the the AL when the season was called in 94
we would've been a WC team in 93 if the system was in place
by the way, your Cubs will win the World Series, relax! |
guitarded_chuck
10.19.16 | please baby jesus just let the jays win today, i want to see some epic weekend baseball one way or another |
claygurnz
10.19.16 | I think we will tbh chuck, although Jose needs to watch his mouth about their rookie pitcher, not like he's swinging a hot bat or anything. |
guitarded_chuck
10.19.16 | i have more faith in marco than any other starter prob |
wham49
10.19.16 | titan bro, all the years you mentioned the yanks not only did not win the series, they didnt even make it, if that was the case the Braves would have been the team of the 90's |
Titan
10.19.16 | the braves were considered the team of the 90's until the yankees officially took it over after 98 or so....'not showing up until 96' and not winning a world series title are two totally different things |
Titan
10.19.16 | and fuck the jays, want them out.....hate them more than boston right now
(sorry geddy!) |
Divaman
10.19.16 | "Cubs sure picked the wrong time to enter a hitting slump which is exactly what happened last year against the Mets"
I think the Mets' pitching had a lot to do with that. |
wham49
10.19.16 | dude you were the one all over me saying the Jays were it, when I said they would take a shit, your AL east pride came out I was right the whole time, also beoing worried about the Dodgers came true as well
being decent like taking second in the standings, does not mean you showed up, and if that was the case why didnt they crown the White SOx and Expos in 94 when the season got cut short, doesnt count, just like the yankees record |
wham49
10.19.16 | Also, Geddy is a Cub fan, just IDs with Toronto because he has to |
calmrose
10.19.16 | "I think the Mets' pitching had a lot to do with that."
Oh yeah definitely, I guess what I mean is that like last year against the Mets, good pitching is completely shutting down a Cubs offense that is struggling to get anything going at the plate, too many 1-2-3 innings the past two games |
guitarded_chuck
10.19.16 | bullpens win championships |
wham49
10.19.16 | too many strike outs, good pitching always beats good hitting in a long series |
Titan
10.19.16 | i have to agree to disagree with you wham. my yankees were a good team from 94 onward (playoffs in 94, best AL record in 95 tells me that the team can compete, hence, 'arriving'). and yes, i didn't think the jays would be down 3-1, but don't let how i thought they would be success wise trip you up on how i feel about them emotionally! i do not have any AL East pride outside of my bombers, you will never hear of me rooting for boston, toronto, baltimore, or even tampa bay to a much lesser extent.
i get it though bro, your titties are drained cause your down 2-1.....eat a snickers man :) |

Titan

wham49
10.20.16 | although the Cubs got healthy, they still have to face Kershaw and Hill one more time, which means they have to win tonight and hope one of them have an off night at wrigley, losing tonight screws them because they will not beat both at home |

never said they weren't. the indians and the cubs have been bad teams for almost all of their fans' lifetimes. obviously they've both had some good teams the past twenty five years or so but they've never been able to get over the hump. i just don't get the hate some people have for the cubs when they've been losers longer than every single person on earth can remember, especially when the hate comes from someone who likes the rangers or some shit. |
calmrose
10.21.16 | "i just don't get the hate some people have for the cubs when they've been losers longer than every single person on earth can remember"
honestly this doesn't really matter that much, if you don't like a team you don't like a team, the team being "losers" for so long won't really change an opinion I feel (maybe for some but not all) and that's fine, and if you like a team then that's fine, I'm not bothered if people don't like the Cubs, I do and I'll keep rooting for them
anyways, one more game, though another game against Kershaw makes me nervous but Hendricks was stellar his last game and has been dominant at home, should be a good one again |
porcupinetheater
10.21.16 | Really wishing Kershaw had to throw more than like 70 pitches Game 2 right about now.

I hope I do not have to remind anybody what happened the last time the cubs were in this exact position |
wham49
10.24.16 | so my logic worked, act like the sky is falling and they had no chance and they might do the opposite, which usually happens, I think they have a chance and lose at the end, could not have turned out any better, unless they were playing the Jays, which they would of crushed |

Ignimbrite
10.12.17 | To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Joe Maddon. His strategy is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical baseball most of his bullpen moves will go over a casual fan’s head. There’s also Joe’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his rosters- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Fangraphs literature, for instance. The die hard fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these pitching changes, to realise that they’re not just strategic- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Joe Maddon truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the profoundness in Joe’s existential catchphrase “That’s Cub” which itself is a cryptic reference to Michael Poryes’ epic That’s So Raven. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Theo Epstein’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Joe Maddon tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎 |

Snake, as I live equidistant between Chicago and Milwaukee these last 2 seasons have been great fun till the very end when the better manager took over and led his team into the playoffs, thank god Madden is done after this year terrible game manager. Counsel should win manager of the year, after the last 2 weeks without the best player in the league |

09.20.19 | Martinez tried his best to prove that it's never too late to flush a season down the shitter, but thank god for Carpenter.
Not exactly a curbstomp but if we can do it again today I can survey this thread smugly. |
wham49
09.20.19 | as soon as he entered the game I knew he would have a say in the outcome of that game, the cubs dont have it, too many injuries this year, no bullpen and a terrible manager |
calmrose
09.20.19 | I remember being so pumped with the Cubs signing Kimbrel, but then he started pitching, and yeah...
even if the Cubs get super, super lucky and make and win the wildcard, they're going to get walloped in the division series |

09.20.19 | Yeah same for the cards tbqh I'd just like us to make the playoffs for the first time in like 5 years. |

09.21.19 | As a Brewers fan, I feel ya. Past several years we've done enough through the regular season and then fall to pieces in the postseason; I'd like to see the Brew Crew make the WS once in my lifetime.

09.21.19 | you guys are golden
how did Carpenter lose his starting spot? |
DominionMM1
09.21.19 | because he hasn’t been hitting. he was never great defensively so it was his bat that always kept him starting. when that started to fail he was out. |

09.23.19 | ouch. that's a rough weekend series. kimbrel lol |
wham49
09.23.19 | Madden should have been fired after Fridays game Kimbrel should not be pitching, Baez should not be hitting, almost like he was trying to make them look bad, know he is not coming back but the firing to embarrass him like he did to his players |

09.24.19 | wham, who do you want them to replace maddon with? girardi? |
LelandAB
09.24.19 | Go Mariners. They'll be great in 2022 when Kelenic and Julioooo become stars |
wham49
09.24.19 | I don't know who to replace him with. I wanted Girardi back when they signed Madden, somebody who will hold them accountable, and probably younger, somebody who has experience in the postseason, and will keep a lineup fairly solid |

09.24.19 | dude what happened to Kimbrel lol |
Ignimbrite
09.25.19 | Craig “lemme just sneak a high heater by this guy real quick” Kimbrel |
wham49
09.25.19 | I'm not mad, I feel sorry that he was pout in that position. Just the day before the first home run, the Cubs announced that he was done for the season and the next day he was in a extra inning game, the biggest game in their season. Then Madden put him in the same situation 2 nights later and after the first HR leaves him in to give up the second. He is injured, I dont love his situation, but he never should have been in the game |
Source
09.26.19 | well rip cubs |
suppatime
09.26.19 | Yeah they should have just let Craig chill for the rest of the year. He hasn't looked good at all, idk whether it was lack of spring training or injuries or what. Would have preferred he clear his head and come back next year but they were throwing shit at a wall in desperation mode i guess.
I don't hate the Girardi idea but I don't love it. I'm concerned he might be a little too much of a hardass. I definitely don't want Ross or Mark DeRosa but I wouldn't be super pissed if they got hired. I just think they're too green and too connected to this team, especially Ross. Bench coach seems the best option for them. Idk who else is out there that'd I'd be happy with but we'll see. I'm excited to see what the Driveline guy does, their technology is the big reason the bullpen has been more solid this second half. Hopefully they can make some of the hitters more consistent. |

09.26.19 | "I'm concerned he might be a little too much of a hardass"
that could be just what they need |
wham49
09.26.19 | they need an outside hire the bench coach will be more than the same. And Ross or DeRosa, give me a break both would be terrible.
Girardi would be fine, they need a hard ass(2) |

08.03.21 | well here we go, ive seen this act before, everybody enjoy your rent a players, but remember there is a reason they are on the market in the first place, not making one last playoff run. So its back to the 90's for this CUb fan 100 plus losses a year |

I knew nothing about the Ricketts, but now they're trying to buy my 'association football' team! I've been hearing some really bad things about the way they're running the Cubs / dealt with Wrigley Field etc.
plus the whole leaked emails / racism thing, which obviously leaves a sour taste in the mouth! |

the really sad thing is they still run the Cubs better than the Tribune company. Another 115 years to a title. The count down starts today |
Demon of the Fall
04.14.22 | The fans here are protesting against their potential ownership already, which is not a great situation to be in. It almost seems untenable, but somehow they've still been credited with a realistic shot of winning.
currently have my fingers crossed that Boehly's (LA Dodgers) bid wins instead
It's down to the final 4 and those are two of the candidates (supposedly the 2 front runners as well). |
wham49
04.14.22 | The Ricketts are in it to profit only, they will ruin good teams just to save money. Winning is an accident for them. I would push hard not to let them buy the team. With how racist the old man is, that should be easy to sway the fan base away from wanting them, but money talks |
Demon of the Fall
04.14.22 | yeah that's the biggest bone of contention (the racism), but a lot of people I talk to are also convinced they're not actually good owners from a sporting perspective either
I also visit a forum with a lot of international fans, many of which are American and have their finger on the pulse when it comes to baseball (amongst other U.S. sports), none of them seem convinced the Ricketts would be the right choice.
Unfortunately it appears they have the right connections and they certainly have the money, whether they would actually spend it on the club in the event they win is definitely in question though. |
wham49
04.14.22 | they will not spend it on the club. They got rid of everybody on the cubs and we have a second rate team , because it costs too much to put a good team out there, in the 3rd richest market for baseball in the states, the best GM in baseball quit because their nonspending was starting to make him look bad |
