Just to piggyback off the Sox series this past weekend, I couldn't help but post some of these great posts from WSI:

"Lester is on the decline. Arrieta might get hurt. Schwarber might be a flash in the pan. Rizzo and Bryant look solid, but two guys do not make a great team."

 

"This run by the cubs has been done against some very weak competition, including our Sox. I still don't see this ending well for them."

 

I love the flubbies!

Meh, jealousy I presume. There have also been a lot of comments straight up saying the Cubs got their [expletive] together and have a team to be feared for the next decade while lamenting the state of the White Sox.

 

The weak competition comments are my favorite part as I believe they are 27-18 (.600) vs +500 teams (4-9 agains the Cardinals and 23-9 against everyone else) and 40-31 (.563) against teams under .500. The winning % against +500 teams is 2nd best in the MLB behind the Cardinals.

I haven't ventured over to WSI in years. They banned me once for arguing that Santo belonged in the HOF with someone....I don't remember all the details.

I had to listen to much of the series on XM, which meant I had to listen to the Sox Radio guys.

 

They had to be the most smug assholes on the radio. Tons of snarky comments. They went on for a few innings about how bad it was that Castro isn't the SS. They went as far as saying Russell had no business at SS since he was a 2B all year.

 

Lot's of comments about Schwarber being a lucky rookie and the high fast ball will be his down fall.

 

 

The best was when Rizzo was batting. . . .

 

Color guy: Rizzo having a great year for the Cubs

 

PBP guy: Yea, I guess

 

Color Guy: how about that "jump the tarp and catch a foul ball while falling into the front row" catch he made? It was a great catch.

 

PBP guy: I didn't see it. Heard it was okay.

 

Color guy: it was really good -- he ended up seated in the front row.

 

PBP guy: well, I didn't see it

 

 

 

 

not word for word, but close. . .really close. So snarky. So smug. So jealous.

Over on soxtalk.com, they do separate threads for MLB discussion, AL Central discussion, and Cubs discussion and it always is hilarious to me how the Cubs discussion is 49(!!!) pages longer than the other threads:
