The Chicago Cubs are the 2016 NL Central Division Champions

Wait, how don't you like Lester?

 

 

He's definitely not plus plus likeability. He's kinda jerkfacy.

 

This is a really really really odd take

 

really really really

[Sammy Sofa]

Lester seems fine, but he does have a weird squishy/babyface. Different than tinyface.

Is their some bald blaming going on, perhaps?

[BigSlick]

nah its not that odd of a take, Lester has a very punchable face

 

love the dude but yeah

[badger]

I never said I didnt like him you morans. I said he didn't strike me as having plus plus likeability.

[David]

I love Lester but your mileage may vary

[Little Slide Rooter]

Maybe I'm alone in this, but it really doesn't matter to me that they officially clinched on a loss, as they've pretty much had the division locked up since June.

[BigSlick]

It pretty funny that the greatest swoon the Cubs suffered, and the Cardinals greatest push, resulted in them drawing as close as.......6 and a half games

 

It's one of the smoothest divisional wins of the wild card era

Agreed. If this were a team that had been battling tooth and nail to get into the playoffs, then it might be a bigger deal. Winning the NLCS at home on the other hand...

I want the Cubs to win 103. It just seems to be a different tier above 100-102 and that would put us at 200 wins over the past two seasons.

 

How many teams in the last year have done 200 in two seasons? Im sure the 116 win Mariners and the late 90s yankees but not sure about others?

With our JV lineup I'm not sure we get to that.

nonsense

 

and it's not like this is going to happen that often

Probably more like 3 or 4, but let's not pretend our JV lineup isn't still better than most of the teams we're playing from here on out

[badger]

And we have to go 12-4 to get there. Just don't see it happening. But I've been negative on everything all week.

I doubt there will be many more full jv lineup days. Individuals will get days off, but there will not be a lot of days where Russell, Bryant, Rizzo, Fowler and Zobrist all sit.

you are taking my post very seriously (even though 12-4 is far from unheard of)

[Gmoney08]

10-6 to get to 103 and 200 wins in two years is doable.

I mean, yea, i'm responding to 105 wins as a target with what we need to get there. :dontknow:

 

I wasn't inferring that you were going to burst into flames if we didn't get there if that's what you mean.

 

Just boardin' on a message board.

[BigSlick]

I want a number over 100, and it would be cool to have losses under 60, because that just look absurd

 

Last team to win that much over 100 was the 2009 Yankees with 103 and they comfortably won the World Series (its weird how little this team gets brought up with all the GOOD TEAMS ALWAYS LOSE garbage) and before that the 2004 Cardinals with 105 wins I think and they got undressed and swept in 4 games by the Red Sox which was pretty lol

 

I'm looking back through the records and jesus that 2011 Philies team was absurd - won 102 games, had Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels and Roy Oswalt all at the top or near the top of their game. Maybe the best comp for us in the recent history, except our offense and defense is way better)

it was a silly throwaway post (despite the fact that it is far from impossible)

[champaignchris]

I count Lester, Lackey, Chapman, and Sealboy. But your point still stands.

 

I had to de-lurk to say that Lackey moved to the "like" side of my ledger with his "Not here for a haircut; I came for jewelry" post-game interview.
