8/8 Cubs (Q) @ Royals (Filmyer) 7:15 PM CDT

[ConstableRabbit]

the only good thing about the embarrassing cubs performances lately has been watching duke try to spin every negative as a positive

How likely do you think it is that the Cubs win the division?

 

I could see it being a Clinton/Trump-type scenario. So, what, approx. 75% or so?

Lol we are actually going to spend time in Wisconsin so doubt it’s a 2016 election scenario.

It really is amazing how annoying a team with the best record in the NL can be.

Top of the NL is the JV this year compared to the top of the AL

 

The NL is 114-98 in interleague play this year. The AL sucks outside of the top teams. Their records are inflated from all these shitty teams they continually play. There are 10 teams in the NL that are multiple games over .500. It's hard to pile up wins when you don't get to beat up on shitty teams every week. And despite the loss tonight, the Cubs are 9-2 when they've played non-Indians AL teams. If the Cubs were in the AL Central, they'd probably be 30 games over .500.

Sorry, but it's true.

[ConstableRabbit]

Besides, life is too short to stress over the 25% (even though I think the odds of us finishing lower than first are much lower). You can’t control the odds regardless so why not just have fun and be cocky? It’s not like we lucked into this spot.

[Sammy Sofa]

I talk cocky horsefeathers whether they win or lose. The target just varies depending on the result.

So that’s why you won’t get too confident in the Cubs. The ole’ reverse jinx from the Clinton election certainty

not only is it delusional it's completely pointless. hey if the cubs played in a worse division they'd have more wins (unspoken point: they'd still be the same team regardless so .... cool?)

Oh, I'm pretty sure the Cubs winning it all is somehow partially responsible for President Trump...and that they're damned to not go back to the WS until he's out of office.

 

(I kinda don't want them to win it until he's gone, too)

[ConstableRabbit]

Lol you don’t want the Cubs to win the World Series because if who’s president?

My comment wasn't meant to make the Cubs look better. They are who they are. I was trying to show that the NL isn't some JV league while these AL teams are world-beaters. The gap is inflated by how shitty the rest of the AL is.

lol every comment you make is intended to make the cubs look better

[The_Achiever]

We look bored. Like they can just kind of turn it on when thy need to. I hope they can.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

You were just begging me to join the dark side earlier tonight because of how much they were pissing me off.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Was really hoping we could sweep this and win the first 2 vs Wash. Then have an intense game Sunday vs Max and find a way to win. Felt like that could’ve kicked started us through the rest of the year.

 

Oh well. Just keep winning series.

yeah and your response to losing 9-0 to the worst team in the al central was "well actually the cubs would already have 85 wins if they played in the al central" lol

Man that pic is brutal haha. Baseball might have the highest % of trump fans though.

 

Baeball or hockey I’d think.

Sorry for not going full doom-boner when my favorite team has the best record in their league.

bryant wanted to get his white house authentic maga hat from stephen miller

[ConstableRabbit]

You guys are so weird.

[The_Achiever]

I bet they went back because of the rickets connection. At least the sister seems ok by rich persons standards.

Duke: This team is still in first place!
