I am embracing mediocrity, dammit. Let's flame out sensationally to cap off a wonderful marriage between the Cubs and the Tribune. WHO'S WITH ME?!?

The key is to not embrace mediocrity, but rather complete suckiness.

 

If you don't make the playoffs, you might as well draft 1st.

Exactly. Give the new regime something good they hopefully won't destroy like cute little bunny.

[Sammy Sofa]

My reverse jinx powers are both confusing and angering me. I don't like having to deflate when I've got a good fury on. It's not healthy.

[Sammy Sofa]

OK, this is now the "official" reverse jinx thread. If you post here and vent about the Cubs when they're sucking, they'll do even worse.*

I've been listening to Cub fans "reverse jinx" (aka gripe and moan) for 35 years, and it hasn't worked yet.

Nah. It's such a weak division. The team that plays just slightly north of mediocrity will be playing in October. I think that team will be our boys.

Hoo boy. You've done it now.

[rynefan]

Love it, "North of Mediocrity." It's perfect.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

My new favorite baseball team is every team in the league except the Cubs. That should ensure they start winning.

Pedro Alvarez or bust!

So far, this thread is 2-0.

To hell with this stupid team. Our "ace" pitches like hot garbage.

[Sammy Sofa]

The Cubs are horrible and there is ZERO chance that they can come back from a 10-6 deficit in the bottom of the 9th. No way. Impossible. Won't happen.

We need to trade the SOB while he still has some value cuz its obvious he's not the pitcher he once was.

No kidding.

[Sammy Sofa]

Nuts. This stupid thread is already broken.

[biittner77]

The Cubs will need to go 0-8 to reach 10 under. Luckily they are heading on the annual dreaded West Coast Bataan Death March road trip so they still have a chance.

 

Then there's the Dempster to the rotation fiasco. Perhaps 0 for the rest of May is not out of the question.

 

What really has me intrigued personally is whether the Princess Anne Cubs will score more runs in May than the Chicago Cubs. The Chicago Cubs play every day but the PA Cubs, in just 4 games have already scored 40 runs.

[Sammy Sofa]

Dammit, I was almost right.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

you're only going to be two days off. Not bad.

What are you drinking and can I have some?

[YearofDaCubs]

Our worse than the Nationals, just wow.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Our worse than the Nationals, just wow.

 

No, they're still a little worse.

 

Right now we're at the number 5 draft pick, solid work.

To be fair, he did say this before they completely fell apart.
