6/19 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Twins (Hughes) 7:10 PM WGN

[treebird]

looked safe at first glance

safe

I've been very optimistic about the Cubs' future. They have money to spend, the have several very good young hitters and about 4-5 years before any of them make superstar money. The only tough spot for the Cubs going forward will be investing large dollar amounts in arms which can be very dangerous, but that's where they have people who get paid plenty of money to study and investigate who is most likely to be a better investment.

This board's pretty damn realistic about the Cubs except for the game threads, which is riddled both absurd pessimism and random games when you go on these really amusing aggro super positivity bouts. It's pretty great.

 

maybe go back and read the last few pages again because your reading comp appears to be really bad

 

The weird new guy is obviously wrong about the board being homers. You're still doing the hilarious aggro positive thing. WE CAN HAVE TWO THINGS.

 

aggro positive by citing projections and playoff odds?

 

isn't that more like actually aggro realistic?

8 behind STL, ugh

With the Dodgers for 4 and St. Louis for 3 coming up

MAKE MOLITOR PAY FOR NOT CHALLENGING

I'm calling a 3-run inning for the Cubs here. But it's all going to be obnoxious smallball.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

and that other teams would have a significantly different opinion of him at the same time

 

That wasn't part of the scenario. What other teams thought wasn't specified.

Point taken but playing STL is probably a good thing because at least we have a modicum of control over whether they win

[downsr30]

Last time Cubs were in St. Louis they should have easily won 3 of 4.

No, no, all the other stuff, like with that AR guy and the other sad sacks and Kyle. That's the fiery positive David that cracks me up. Your conversation with the new guy is pretty boring, actually.

The only times we need to worry about Cardinals results this year are when they are playing wild-card rivals, us in the regular season, or us when we meet them in the NLDS.

doesn't it suck that we're all losers arguing on the internet on a friday night

Hey, I'm at work. I'm a totally different kind of loser.

I've made my peace with it.

[downsr30]

Wada vs Kershaw has me cringing already. I hope the Wada shows up who either strikes out 10 guys randomly or just lets people hit bullets right at people.

i'm about to take my pre-go out nap

 

that makes me sound old but i've actually always done that

 

also i'm still slightly hungover

 

but yes we still are losers for sure

[UMFan83]

Honestly as long as the Cubs are within 3-4 of a playoff spot come Sept 1, I'm really not going to get all that worked up on a day to day basis. I must have grown up because I was leading the irrational brigade in years past

i'm going to wait til our next h2h series before i concede this to you
