Non-Cub Playoff Megathread Chit-Chat
Irrelevant Dude replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I truly don't even know who to root for in this series. I would love to see the Guardians end their long World Series drought, but I can't root against this White Sox team either. As much as it would sting to have another World Series from the other side of town, I like seeing them play meaningful baseball again. -
Bears Week 4: vs Jets Sunday at noon on Fox
Irrelevant Dude replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
I'm not sure if it has been discussed elsewhere, but this Otis Wilson stuff is disturbing. There is clearly something not right with him. He was interviewed briefly last week before a game and he did not seem with it, at all. I don't know if it is drugs, alcohol, CTE, or some combination thereof. -
Cubs Pre-Offseason Mega Thread
Irrelevant Dude replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Or a 5th starter. -
That was really bad.
-
Sounds like Gausman is at least considering retirement.
-
Best of 5 is just too long to have teams sitting around not playing. Best of 3 is already pushing it. I think I lean toward the previous 1 game format, but that had fewer teams and we know there's no going back. And I don't ever want to put a division winner in a 1 game series.
-
Counsell thinks "we've raised the bar." That narrative worked last year, but I'm not buying it this time
-
I think we could have taken them in a Best of 13.
-
I seriously don't know how the Cubs fix this. Realistically, PCA isn't going to repeat what he did this year, and there are gaping holes at LF, RF, possibly C, and the entire pitching staff. The team is going to look a lot different next year, and probably not for the better.
-
Nice series Nico. Everyone else, not so much. And Jed, you suck.
-
The clock strikes midnight... Literally and figuratively.
-
There's the extra base hit!
-
We need a reliever with pyro.
-
Pitching was pretty good tonight all things considered. Take away Sheets running into a 101 mph fastball and they would have held the Padres to 2. But even with that, 4 runs should have kept the Cubs in the game if their offense wasn't completely non existent.
-
Nothing but soft contact...
-
With a stupid split grip.
-
America's Team
-
It's midnight on the East Coast. Does that count as playing in October?
-
I kind of want Milwaukee to win now. Pour more salt into the wound.
-
How about both? There's your #1 and 2 starters.
-
My kingdom for an extra base hit.
-
I know, and that alone should be a fire-able offense.
-
That's fair. Maybe Hawkins has all kinds of different ideas that diverge from Jed's modus operandi. But they have always seemed to be in lock step, at least publicly.
-
But why is Shaw playing?
-
What I find interesting are the rumors that there are teams interested in Carter Hawkins to lead their baseball operations. Like, what do they see here to make them think, "We need to go get a guy from that front office?"
