That's Cub!

That’s not it at all. It’s this mock disbelief that people on the cubs message board are discussing the players who are currently playing for the cubs. You chose to click on a topic with a very clear subject that fits in pretty well with the purpose of the board. On the flip side, the Cubs actively chose to tank this year and put the fans in a situation where if they want to think about their team they have to discuss garbage players and whether those garbage players have a chance to play for the team next year. That sucks, it should be inexcusable for a fan base that provides a tremendous financial cushion to the owners who are acting as though they are the greatest victims of the covid shutdown. If a fan wants to express his frustration with the situation that the owners of the team chose to the put them into, then they should feel free to do so without being criticized by fans who think we should just shut up and accept the situation. ^^^^^^^^^^ What he said.

These are super fun posts to read, over and over, 2 weeks into this rebuild. We get it, the team sucks. Last I checked, Cubs message board, Cubs discussion. Just my opinion, but I see Schwindel as a guy who's rounding out the ML roster right now... nothing more. I'll be incredibly disappointed if he breaks camp next spring. Sorry if this post serves as a reminder of how bad this team is. Guess what? There's still 8 weeks of this crap ahead of us. Suck it up.

So this is what it’s come to; discussing the merits of Frank Schwindel?

Lots of Brewer fans, I'm sure. Better gauge will be when the Pirates come to town. -

I keep telling myself these guys really aren't the Cubs. It's just a bunch of random guys wearing the same uniform. -
The suckiest sucks that ever sucked.

Wait... they're not in super tank mode right now? Can't wait to see what that looks like!

I lost Ed Truck Anthony Rizzo and it feels like somebody took my heart and dropped it into a bucket of boiling tears. And, at the same time, somebody else is hitting my soul in the crotch with a frozen sledgehammer. And then a third guy walks in and starts punching me in the grief bone.

I just don’t like the way it sounds. Guardians is a bit of a mouthful. Three syllables is too much for a team name. Athletics Cardinals Diamondbacks Mariners Nationals Orioles Athletics = A's Cardinals = Cards Diamondbacks = D'backs Mariners = M's Nationals = Nats Orioles = O's Guardians = Guards?
-
That... can't possibly be the name. How in the hell do you market that? Maybe if he has no pants like Clark this has a chance.

Missed the point entirely, but ok.

Of course sites want you to click on their content. answersafrica.com, most certainly does. https://answersafrica.com/the-untold-truth-of-ben-zobrist-and-julianna-zobrist-marriage-and-divorce.html Their website is dedicated to being the "knowledge base for Africa, news and entertainment website with Africans in mind. It is a place for individuals and explorers who have an interest in Africa. https://answersafrica.com/about This site popped up on the second page of a Google search using the terms "Zobrist divorce". Perhaps I'm being naive, but is there a connection I'm missing between this divorce and Africa? Or will websites stretch the normal boundaries of their content because of the juicy details? The point I'm trying to make... and I thought I made this clear in my previous post (perhaps not) is that more media will be running this story than normal because of the details of the divorce.

My horsefeathering apologies for my horsefeathering incorrect use of the horsefeathering term" click bait" JFC... Well, if you look at my original post... I never used the term "click bait." That was all you. I just said "More clicks, baby!" And I still believe that to be true. More people will follow this divorce not so much for who is involved (although in another post I admitted that plays a part of it), but for the details that have already come out. I'd be willing to bet Ben and Julianna were considered "boring" before all this came out. That David Ross is "history's most boring monster" has nothing to do with it (although I could argue more people know him than they know Ben. Ben wasn't on DWTS or dry-humped a corpse on SNL). Lots of couples divorce amicably. Maybe Ross' was; maybe it wasn't. That nothing was ever really written about it leads me to believe it's the latter. I could be wrong. But it's all in the details. And more media will follow this divorce because of the deets. My whole point.

And the reason why anyone knows any of the details is because of... You're right... it is an awesomely juicy gossip story. That's why the divorce updates keep coming. I know David Ross is divorced. But I had to look it up; it was just last year. If it was reported in the media, it probably garnered a couple paragraphs, tops. It's not a reach at all to think Ben's divorce proceedings are "click bait" given some of the information that's come out already. Because it's a ridiculous story, and ridiculous celebrity gossip has been a thing forever. "Clickbait" would be, "You'll Never Believe the Insane Details of David Ross' Divorce!!!!" and then the actual blog or article or whatever pulls a bait and switch and it's just about the boring David Ross divorce we never really heard about because it was so boring and involved David Ross, who is history's most boring monster. My horsefeathering apologies for my horsefeathering incorrect use of the horsefeathering term" click bait" JFC...

Celebrity divorces have been huge public stories since long before some [expletive] thought of the term clickbait. I think you're applying "celebrity status" to Ben and Julianna a little too liberally. Maybe that's just me. Personally, I think more people know more about them because of the details of the divorce than they did before this.

Also making him go to counseling with the man you are cheating with. That's some next level horsefeathers. This is why the divorce is more public than most; the press is loving the salacious details. More clicks, baby!

7/7 The Cubs are trying to play baseball again
Cubfanintheknow replied to UMFan83's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Feeling a lot better about this team after the win! Just kidding. I'm drunk. -
I would be, too.

7/4 Nico is back, Sogard is still here

1) Take early lead 2) Don't score again 3) Give up lead 4) Lose 5) Repeat Incredibly predictable -
That would be a good and fun idea. But my favorite idea is just starting the season with Fields. I'm thinking it would be awesome to maybe package an entire offense around Fields. That would allow the Bears some flexibility to make a special package of plays for Dalton. Like, say, the holder on extra point attempts.

6/20 - try to lead after 5
Cubfanintheknow replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Anybody else notice the lack of masks when they show the Cubs' dugout? Haven't seen one on Ross... he almost always has one on.
