7/26 Cubs (Hendricks) @ White Sox (Shields) 6:10 ESPN, CSN

[Cubswin11]

im very annoyed lately.

Butters please start a game thread soon to save our souls

[David]

if me bitching about the game thread wackos is going to bring out the real crazies like that, i think we all should do a lot more of it.

Reached 19 games over at 27-8. About to still be there 64 games later.

 

This team right now is very capable of not winning 90 games.

 

ok, umfan

 

I see some of the same handful are still here complaining about others pointing out the cold hard facts, that they apparently don't want to see/hear or acknowledge. Eating their own and telling them how they should conduct their fandom. Now THAT's annoying. WAY more annoying than those venting their justified frustration over this (what is it 2 months worth now..?) garbage and Joe's "maddoningly" idiotic "I'm smarter than the game" routine.

 

There's a reason they're far behind their pythag record...need look no further than the dugout and the clown shoe act coaching the bases for the most part...but hey, they throws a hell of a pajama party.

Yeah, none of that is true.

 

I just like pointing out sad facts for funnies.

[Cubswin11]

Robertson is hittable

"This team right now is very capable of not winning 90 games" is like barely a fact, it's just a pessimistic sentence in response to a run of frustration (not to pick on Kyle since he's typically one of the better posters here).

 

Being a fan of the team with the best record in baseball, especially one that's endured as much terrible baseball in the last 6 or 7 or 100 years as we have, and opening the thread of a game we're down 3 measly runs and seeing post after post of this misplaced anger and overblown panic is annoying. Oh no if we lose tonight we'll only be 90% favorites to win the division! Unreal.

 

If you can honestly say you think Joe isn't one of, if not the best, manager in the game. Go ahead. Won't have much support there, even amongst the Rondon Fan's of the world.

 

And then you conclude by implying that, in the face of all past evidence, we're going to...continue to underperform our pythag?

 

Solid post.

Pssst...You're the "whacko" with your head in the sand.

 

carry on.

I don't think they've had a themed road trip since the Miami series in June. So maybe they should be throwing more of those

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The 90 game thing was just interesting to me because we would basically just have to play two games worse over the next 63 than we have over the last 64 and we are at 89-73.

 

For a team that was talking about 117, that is some whiplash.

the cold hard facts are that the cubs have the best record in baseball even after going through a pretty considerable rough patch and have easily the most talented roster and one of the best managers in the game.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

What do you think we could get for Heyward?

two Monteros

[Cubswin11]

Oh well, this thing should get righted soon

[UMFan83]

Well we won't have the BP Cup yet again boo hoo

[TruffleShuffle]

is there a reason the Sox seem to be exclusively wearing throwbacks now

 

average team and boring ballpark; looking for any reason to get fans to come to the game.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Somebody better start yelling at somebody else before this spirals out of control

It's not misplaced or overblown when it's gone on for this long...It's not about just tonight for those posting what you consider annoying, not hard to understand.

 

As far as Joe...overall I still believe him to be one of the best...but he's been horrid lately, and you can look to the last how many game threads for evidence of that. The nonsense has been well documented.

[BigSlick]

4 hits, damn

[PackLandVA]

What do you think we could get for Heyward?

 

Maybe something comparable to James Loney, Iván DeJesús, Jr., Allen Webster, and two players to be named later (like Jerry Sands and Rubby De La Rosa).

[Little Slide Rooter]

Robertson is hittable

I do not regret skipping this game to go to a concert instead. I can pretend it never happened now

[Butterscup]

So we will 06 cardinal our way to a title? Whatever works
