New fatalism thread

We made too many bargains after Game 4 last year.

 

Any bargains made were worth it.

 

Exactly. I would be annoyed if they went another 100+ years without a title, but damnit, they won one in my lifetime.

it is all gravy at this point, every last bit of it.

This year the obligatory miserable Bears season will have no counterbalance.

 

And that is what grieves me the most.

ultimately maybe its for the best because the dodgers and or stros would have pantsed us this year anyway. We can even-year-bullsh!t the league next year when they're both rest off their world series tie

They wouldnt pants us this year if we played like it was last year though... and also.. we were supposed to be better this year.

Did Fred know something we didn't???

There's still time for Theo to make the playoffs at a lower rate than Hendry.

i definitely think some of the blame falls on Joe's unhelpful message this year

I mean...a real Joe slogan from this year was "Embrace the Suck". Perhaps he knew what was coming.

If we're not going to win the world series, I hope we properly take advantage of our hangover year and sell some assets. \:D/ \:D/

I can't see the Cubs selling unless they fall 8+ games out of a playoff spot by the end of July. Right now I think its hold with maybe some minor selling if they could get anything for Lackey (ha ha ha), Duensing (ha ha ha but lefty reliever that doesnt completely blow isn't without any value), maybe even Jon Jay. Those are parts you can sell off without changing the team too much.

I've always wondered if this is Boone from Lost in some retro looking show/movie?

i'm having a hard time coping with the dodgers being this good.

I remain high off the fumes of Game 7.

Theo has moved on to huffing the emissions from melted copies of the DVD.

now that i've experienced the 2016 postseason, i'm less jealous of teams like the astros and dodgers dominating the regular season, because i know they still have to win like a million excruciatingly tense games over a month to make it matter

Ooh that's the nicest version of that gif I've seen.

The struggles continue into the 2nd half and Wade Davis' trade value diminishes as he needs TJS.
