You're looking at the world's biggest AL Central fan right here.

 

Why would you care?

 

Because I'd like to win the division?

 

The other three teams suck. If one of them happens to win over us, then by that point we will have realized that we sucked even worse than a sucky team. Tough to feel too disappointed in that case.

Well, sure. If we suck more than three sucky teams, then it would be disappointing. But the point remains that those teams suck. And I still think we are better.

 

I can still hold those convictions, while acknowledging that we are in a race now. We've been in a race the whole season. When we got 5.5 back, we were always going to be in a race. So, now I want us to win this race against those sucky teams.

Bottom line? The Cubs are playing sucky but have big-time talent. If they play up to their potential, they will win the division by 7 games. If they continue to play like they are bored, then one of those three sucky teams will win the division and the Cubs and their underachieving asses can go away for a few months.

Explain yourself.

 

saying that you have no interest in winning the division if they only win like 85 games is dumb and you know that you don't actually feel that way. it's like at the beginning of the season when david was saying that if the cubs didn't get off to a scorching start, that he didn't care about their record being good at all. you're trying too hard.

An alternative is the Cubs continuing to play like they are bored, like they have all year, and winning a tight race, as they currently are.

 

Default? The two sweetest words in the English language.

You're responding to something that nobody said. I just said I too want them to win the division. Meaning I want them to win the division. But the fact remains that if we can't win a crappy division then it goes down as an embarrassing season considering the talent we have compared to the others.

 

And in that case, why would I feel disappointed? I'd feel annoyed and embarrassed.

That's fine by me, too.
