Rank the offseason moves

[Guancous]

1) Retaining a wifebeater

2) Defending overtly racist owner

3) Partnering with propaganda factory for game broadcasts

4) Brad Brach headlining free agent acquisitions

That seriously feels like it happened years ago.

5). Ricketts cancelling their Q&A session at Cubfest (or whatever the horsefeathers it’s called)

[Old Style]

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Paying 20 million for an average starting pitcher in an offseason where you only had 18 million to spend

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Becoming a more racist organization than the St. Louis Cardinals and their fans.

 

It has reached that level, right? I don't know the history of the Cardinals that much, so correct if I'm way wrong.

We got our title. If this is how they operate I hope the Cubs finish in last place for the forseeable future.

I genuinely want this season to be an absolute disaster.

This one is my favorite, because it was so obviously a waste of money that the prevailing spin was that they must have tons of cash to waste. The quintessential “Epstein can’t make a bad move, so this apparently bad move is actually good, QED” move.

Make The Cubs Bad Again™

This is so depressing

Maybe the rest of the universe will return to normalcy, too.

It helps to remember that all our rivals also exist for the profit of shitty white billionaires and their fan bases are also mostly racist because that is just baseball’s demographics. So think about how sad the Cubs being good would make them.

Fewer ignorant displays by individuals but the Cubs went whole hog enriching the pillars of racial inequity.

But there's a lot less fans of Milwaukee or Cincinnati. It's the utilitarianism approach obviously to inflict the most pain on the largest number of horsefeathers bags.

[Sammy Sofa]

It's all rank.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

It's all rank.

The thread title would be perfect with the adddition of a colon.

It’s really funny you guys are surprised that an old, rich white guy is racist and that baseball players are douches.

Who is surprised?

My point is you should probably avoid all professional sports because you are destined to be sorely disappointed. It is sad but true.

So the two options are:

 

1. Avoid all sports.

2. Shut up and accept it.

 

Discussing it is a bad thing somehow?
