I agree that the Cubs are the better team on paper. But, i want to see what happens on the field. Remember, The cardinals are a not so great team on paper but they still are in the race and are expected to be in the race 'til the end.

This is pretty funny:

 

But if you haven't checked out my Rumblings and Grumblings column from last week, I point out how rare it is for any team to trade for a pitcher like this who leads them to a parade float. The only starter traded in midseason who has won a World Series game in the last 30 years is . . . (ta-taaaa) Jeff Weaver. How scary is that slice of trivia?

did he mention that the brewers won't be making the playoffs because the mets will be instead?

 

No. However, he did say the Cubs would be 5 or 6 games out of first by the All-Star break like you did. Actually, he didn't say that. You can live with that comment by yourself.

:rotfl:

Nice to see that he realizes this just makes the Brewers better, but not better then us.

 

why is that nice to see?

 

That he's not buying into this deal making the Brewers the favorites.

yeah, but who cares what he thinks? it's not like it helps the cubs or hurts the brewers.

You're not wrong, but couldn't you have let this innocuous little comment go?

I agree with that. However, most of time when a deal like this is made the media wets themselves into thinking that's the move that will win a title for a team.

Jayson Stark couldn't be more right in his comments on the Cubs being the best team in the NL. I've always thought that. They've showed it thus far and they will continue to dominate the league.

 

I'd prefer for them to be actually dominating as opposed to just 3.5 games up two other teams in the division.

obviously.

 

seriously though, a lot of posters' energy this summer seems to be focused on what jayson stark is saying, what brewers message boards are saying, what ozzie guillen is saying, etc. i just don't see the point.

Hold up. I know that abuck can be gruff, but what did he say that was so out of line here? He expressed his opinion, pretty reasonably. He never attacked anyone...just the opinion. It took your post to make it personal. Maybe he should have let it go...but maybe you should have too.
