I really want to turn this off but I can't. This season has been a blast and even though I'm really down on how this series has gone, I don't want it to end.

 

This season was freaking awesome and I gotta finish with em. Beating the Pirates and Cardinals was pretty damn epic.

 

The last 4 nights have stunk but this season was a fun ride.

No chance I'm turning this game off either, as much as it blows.

 

I'm stuck at work with it on 2 TV's and 2 giant screens on the wall. I couldn't not watch if even if I wanted to.

Given the choice, would you guys lock in an extended run of 90s Braves like dominance if you knew it would yield one title and playoff disappointment the vast majority of the time or would you rather roll the dice and see if we can rip off a couple of titles, or more, with no guarantee that we would win any?

I'd take 90's braves.

Wow

 

Maybe ski was right about the Cubs being in the wrong mindset. Ross certainly was there.

Since the game isn't interesting at all...

 

How much money would you pay for the Cubs to win the World Series that's within your means? I'm going to say... two grand.

I want Cueto and Price dammit

Jaxon is off the books. That's 12 million freed up correct?

I think there is still a year left but it shouldn't matter.

Who gives a [expletive] about the regular season? This team along with the 2008 team tore the regular season to [expletive] and both ended with the team forgetting how to hit and pitch. There's zero satisfaction in going out like this regardless of how regular season wins they had

 

Beating the Cards was pretty cool

 

Just have to believe that these things are crap shoots and we just need to make the playoffs every damn year to breakthrough

 

Yeah that was cool, but I don't get the logic of being satisfied showing our asses in the LCS just because they had a nice regular season. Nobody's going to feel satisfied with the memory of beating Cincinatti in June.

 

I dunno, it just happens. Even if Lester and Arrieta had really shut the Mets down, you've still got a very young team that strikes out a lot and was basically being carried by the dong. They had stretches where they went very, very cold this season, and unfortunately another one popped up at a critical time against a team with a great starting rotation.

 

Chalk it up to a learning experience, I guess. At least they're in a good position to succeed again next year (yeah, yeah, I know; and the Nationals were supposed to win the WS this year...)

 

Hopefully this is just growing pains.

I really wish MLB was like the Premier League and just had a regular season.

 

It used to be before they started that silly "World Series" exhibition

The [expletive] Pirates game and Cards series. Why are you talking about the Reds and June??

This is like the second best team in all of our lifetimes according to the playoffs, why undersell that?

 

And almost everyone in our lineup is <25, and cost-controlled for at least four more seasons. Even the magical Cardinals never put together an offense like this.

 

Hate to throw truth on the pity party, but 2015 is an enormous success by any measure.

$0. It's really not as fun if you paid to make it happen. Plus they shouldn't need my money to win it. We have the talent, front office, infrastructure, etc to be a dominant force. We will win one.

 

Maybe in 5 years we will be like "haha remember when we thought we'd be good for a long time with our young talent, just like 2003". But I doubt it

Whatever the price may be, I think it's only fair that we each pay the same amount a piece.

Lester and Arrieta losing the first two games was the death knell of this team. Unfortunately, until the Cubs get some random player that plays out of his ass for the playoffs, this [expletive] is going to happen. Arrieta imploding was the chink in the armor that killed the team's confidence. This series if completely different if we shut them down in game 2.

You mean like some rookie OPSing 1.400 in the postseason? Wish we had one of those...

Good to know that I'm not alone in this. But I am definitely not listening to the East Coast chumps on TBS!
