2023 Fecal League Standings

[soccer10k]

The Cubs have the worst record in the NL which means it's time for this.

Also, the A's have a -199 RD. The Royals are only at -76.

Banner year for Chicago sports

Bears - worst record in league

Blackhawks - 1 point above worst record in the league 

Bulls - Pure NBA hell and determined to stay there

White Sox and Cubs - 3rd and 4th worst records in the league

The beginning of summer signals the end of the Cubs relevance. 
 

I do believe they have a good streak of baseball in them, so you never know, but they appear broken.

If you stripped the names and told me "go look at this team's fangraphs page and tell me what you think of their chances for the rest of the season," I'd say they looked a bit unlucky and that it as probably too big of a hole to climb out of, but they might be worth keeping an eye on and shouldn't give up completely yet.

But honestly a good doom boner is way more fun and I'm enjoying seeing the team melt down.

2016 made it much easier for me to not give a horsefeathers. I appreciate the free time.

As if the Cubs were aware of this thread, BOOM, outta the cellar in the NL.

That's how I've felt about following the team this season; their offense is streaky enough that having a mediocre pitching staff means they need to rely on defense and luck to have any shot at a playoff spot.

Stroman, Steele, and Smyly have held up their ends of the bargain, but after that, woof.  The 4/5 spots are complete black holes and the bullpen desperately needs an overhaul.

As are the Athletics.

It's over, Johnny. The season now becomes about developing players. They need to let Amaya, Mervis, and Morel play almost every day and bring up Nelson and a bunch of the relievers to rotate up and down. They won't do that..
