Deadspin preview of the Cubs

[splintersag]

The sports blog Deadspin has an interesting preview of the Cubs season. This guy thinks we're are going to win it all, although he is a Cubs fan.

That is a poorly written and completely worthless preview.

apparently we landed one of the top prospects in baseball this off season: GEOVANY SOTO

[Tracer Bullet]

Yeah. Nothing says "great preview" like one that comes out after the rotation has been named and includes the wrong 5 guys.

Until the inevitable signing of Brian Roberts, we'll have to settle for Mark DeRosa at 2B (assuming the heart condition doesn't sideline him - man up, DeRosa).

 

Yeah, ok.

I'm glad I didn't read that whole thing. Wow.

Yeah, I thought he made some relevant points, but he just made some factual errors (Soto is a top prospect, Wrigley was around in 1908, Barrett just left, Pie making his big league appearance,etc). Apparently though, this writer is a Cubs fan.

FAIL

yet another reason I don't read Entertainment Weekly

And the Yanks, while in the midst of a century-long World Series drought themselves, did pretty well last century with that Matsui guy. Where's he from again? Oh yeah. JAPAN .

 

I am so lost.

Cuz let's face it, last year's post-season collapse was really Will Ohman's fault. His and Michael Barrett's.

What?

 

Ryan Theroit, who really "sparked" the offense and finished just 24 points short of batting .300 last season.

He couldn't even spell Theriot right. This article is brutal.
