To recap: imb just shrugged off the past 3 seasons because who cares things will be awesome. What he did not shrug off was message board posters not being thrilled with the last 3 years.

 

*shrug* I didn't shrug off the inability you have of moving on in the face of hundreds of future dongs.

I'm not interested in future dongs, I need them right in front of my face to know they are there before I will do any shrugging. It's a comfort thing.

Cynic - "I can't believe this front office was allowed to not even try to do anything for 3 years"

Rebuttal - "Look at how much better shape the system is in now. IT'S ALL HAPPENING AT ONCE."

Cynic - "Well sure, but they didn't have to do things that way. They should have done things in a way that I enjoy."

Rebuttal - "What would you have proposed they do differently?"

Cynic - "I'm not the GM, it's not my job to tell them how they could have done things well."

 

...and around we go...

Cynic produces detailed transaction list and the resulting WAR totals.

 

Rebuttal: You used the wrong WAR.

 

Cynic redoes the work with the different WAR.

 

Rebuttal: You couldn't have afforded all those players.

 

Cynic redoes the work with a lower budget

 

Rebuttal: You can't have known those players were going to succeed.

 

Cynic redoes the work using projections from the time instead of results

 

Rebuttal: Yeah, but that team wouldn't have made it, because some of those players didn't reach their projections.

But spending a little bit would be a big problem.

 

I'm confused. I thought it was a done deal Ricketts was going to spring for a FA #1 starter both this offseason and next?

Len "cubs 3b kris Bryant leads baseball with 47 home runs, ahead of four other cubs who each have 39"

JD: "Len I have to remind you that while that is cool , we lost a lot of games in 2013"

Len: "interesting, I'll have to fact check that because it's so cool now that I literally don't care."

JD: "ok just for the record the cubs were not good years ago."

hahahahahaha

im gonna enjoy that as much as the actual wins

 

As much as you've enjoyed the last 3 years? I know what a crazy opinion it is to say that losing is bad.

 

the only thing worse is the constant drone of you reminding us how much it sucks

Some of you gents need to realize that some people go through life feeling miserable and there's really nothing that can be done about it.

Everyone who was a fan of losing on purpose for 3 years will be granted immortality because the world is cruel and unjust

...also, that hyperbole never gets any less stupid; folding a 7-2 is losing on purpose, i suppose

this is fantastic

whether 2010-now was necessary or not, it's over now. point is, the cubs are possibly good RIGHT NOW, things are paying off, and there's a very good chance the cubs will be good to amazing the next few years. so just enjoy it, dorks.

I'm pretty optimistic about 2015, but this is still just a tiny bit premature.

I said everyone else is gonna be enjoying the dongs, while you losers sit in the corner going "but remember how bad 2012 was?" while literally no one else cares cause out faces are covered in nonstop dongs.

I'm that weirdo in a pindrop quiet office who just laughed out loud at this post.

just so I'm clear, I had to have been ok with (enjoyed?) the last few years of being terrible in order to be allowed to enjoy the hypothetical winning in the future?

literally no one has said or implied that, but the people insistent on being miserable keep running that out there like it's some kind of trump card.

Does Tim pay you guys (anyone who disagrees with dongs) to post the dumbest [expletive] questions?
