    Turns out I was WAY too generous. 538 has them with a 4% chance of winning the division. Fangraphs with the 1.4(!!!!!!!)% chance. Keep horsefeathering that chicken, dude.

    The VBs simply have to maintain first for 68 games/2.5 months with a still crap offense and alot of the meat on their pitching staff entering uncharted territory. What could go wrong?! I love how you mention their offense sucks as if ours is bounds better. We're a 91 and they're a 90. Since June began we are dead last at 79 and they are 12th at 105. Its done dude. Just drop the charade. And he's acting like it's somehow just a matter of the Cubs outpacing/lasting the Brewers, as opposed to the Brewers AND the two other teams technically ahead of the Cubs right now.

    This dude ranting like the Cubs have better than maybe a, what, 7% chance of winning the division?

    Who cares if a trash Cubs team can catch up to a trash Brewers team. That's arguably/pretty much definitely the worst outcome.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    You're definitely rolling.

    Could be overuse but interesting that it started falling apart when sticky tack was banned. Perhaps the pitching lab just just a lab where they developed sticky substances. Sucks if true because it was the most innovative thing they seemed to be doing while the farm system languished and the star hitters all regressed into a bottom tier offense. Yes yes World Series thank you and all that but what is this org doing well right now? I know there is promise in the minors but it’s not exactly a top 15 system at this point is it? Sorry I’m being overly negative and maybe unfair I just see nothing but negatives within the cubs right now 5 years ago my faith in the cubs was at an all-time high. right now it's at an all-time low. i don't have faith in ownership or the front office. i think the cubs are going to be irrelevant for a long time. we have to suffer through another rebuild just to hope that a) we hit on prospects and b)ownership is willing to spend when we get close to competitive. the players are bad and unlikable. the front office is dumb. ownership is straight up evil. len is gone. it's just all terrible. treeman got out at the right time If you had told 2016-me that just 5 years out from the Cubs winning the World Series I would have zero emotional reaction beyond "meh" to the idea of the rest of the key WS players on the verge of being cast aside, I would have laughed in your face.

    Weird. Sounds like a mob hit from a movie.

    A live look at the Cubs org:

    How bad would the Cubs have horsefeathers up his career had they signed him? He'd be dead.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, it's gonna be him or Rizzo.

    But what's the alternative? You really think mystery injury/OPSing like .300 in the last month KB is going to bring back some future difference maker for a couple months of games? What contender is looking for a shortstop hitting league average and on pace for a career high in errors? These are unique players in that they have a track record of high performance, enough to garner a somewhat substantial contract (and a comp pick) who don't have a whole lot of trade value when getting acquired just for the next 3 months. You do a fire sale in the next month, you forfeit whatever chance you have left this year, and you set the table for Ricketts to roll out some big rebuild until the 15 year olds from the Darvish trade hit puberty. That's....better than taking a shot, even a long shot, at backing into a coin flip playoff? If these guys all actually suck, we're going to suck next year regardless. Tossing away the rest of this season for a few prospects that can maybe crack our top 20 is even dumber. Look, I'm Mr. Doom Boner: I think the Cubs have thoroughly fucked themselves to the point that there's no real good option for them right now.

    Look, we all know horsefeathering baseball is a baseball, but the people pining for the Cubs to squeak-fart their way into the WC or win this division are on horsefeathering crack. Thinking this horsefeathering team has any kind of realistic shot of being the "hot at the right time" type of playoff team is beyond absurd.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    What the flying horsefeathers. He's a horsefeathering monster.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    the only reason I’m not anxious for them to hurry up and sell is because the guy in charge of making these deals that will alter the entire franchise for the next 5-8 years has shown himself to be completely inept. Try, but then at least that gets him closer to being fired. Though then the people hiring his replacement are the horsefeathering Ricketts. So the Cubs are doomed.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Holy horsefeathers. I figured the Brewers were nipping at their heels, like, 7-6 or 7-5, and then I looked up the actual score and guffawed out loud like the goober I am. It's bonkers there are people here who thinks the Cubs should do anything anything except this carcass for parts.

    It's Bauer-speak for, "I'm going to cyber-bully them up to the point that it's not considered chargeable harassment."

    They went from 66 wins to 85 wins, so on a relative scale they were cool and amazing. But they weren't good until the following season. And Mike Fontenot was a perfectly cromulent contributor. 2007 was also one of Howry's kick ass seasons as a Cub.

    Totally. Again, these are famous, rich, super religious white people. I get wanting to be sympathetic, but let's face it: these sorts of people almost always suck. And, if we're being honest, those kids have about a 97.8% of growing up just as shitty, if not shittier.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, this horsefeathers would be a hilarious TV show/trashy doc. A bunch of rich churchy goobers horsefeathering up like this? Delicious.
