Sean McAdam Does Not Thinks Cubs Are Contenders

[HoopsCubs]

ESPN baseball writer takes a look at what contenders need in this linked story. No mention of the Cubs or Astros, though, so I assume he thinks the Wild Card is coming from the NL East.

After this past week, quite a few Cubs fans might agree with him.

[kente777]

He's right.

who's sean mcadam?

 

exactly. nobody.

I cant believe he doesnt think the 4th place NL Central team is a contender.

[Backtobanks]

I think it would be a bigger headline to find someone who thinks the Cubs are contenders.

It seems only Hendry and Baker think this team can be contenders... After all we have 14 games left with the Cardinals, and we're only 13.5 games back of them, so we still control our own destiny in the Central!

What's the big deal about someone not thinking the Cubs are contenders? I don't think they're contenders.

[Warren Brusstar]

They suck. They don't get on base. The manager is an idiot. They've lost 7 in a row are 13 games out of first place, and are chasing innumerable better teams for the wild card.

 

But, OH MY GOD SOME REPORTER DOESN'T THINK THEY'RE CONTENDERS?

 

LMAO

I use to believe the same thing until they benched Rush and put Jerome ....Who in. I go on vacation and what happened?

Williams is pitching better than Rusch at this point, but that is beside the point.

somebody thinks we're not contenders? are they serious? did he fail to see a certain hall of fame short in NEIFI PEREZ? perez is an on-base machine, as is newly re-assigned corey patterson (.287 OBP). and him looking over macias is just a tragedy. jose macias is like micky mantle, barry bonds, and derick jeter all rolled into one....

 

the cubs are absolutely unbeatable and anybody who disagree's should be sentenced to prison. here are my season ending predictions for player stats. and what about lee, who is will be the first ever 60/60 guy. yes folks, he will hit 60 HR's and steal 60 bags this year!!!
