    he sucks really bad
  2. BigSlick
    Given this appears to be one of the most lopsided pitching match ups we've seen this year, I'm fairly confident the Cubs romp in a blow out

    I thought we’ve all learned this isn’t a thing. Didn’t we all learn it wasn’t a thing like 15 years ago? Make the playoffs and take a spin on the Playoff Roulette wheel. Of course it could happen. But the chances are slim with a weak rotation that doesn’t throw hard. If you plan on signing the core, go all in. If you aren’t, continue the rebuild and acquire prospects. The chances are slim if you’re the undisputed best team in the league. The playoffs are a crapshoot. Take as many swings at the piñata that you can get.

    You’re hurting like .172 dude. What could the shot even do that would hurt your stock right now. Maybe the Bill Gates microchips it inserts into your bloodstream will help.

    I don't care if they are good. They aren't winning the World Series good and if you aren't going to sign Baez or Bryant or Rizzo, trade them all with Kimbrel before July 1. There is good regular season baseball and there is good playoff baseball. Just like when the Cubs beat up on the Mets in 2015 and got hammered in the playoffs because the Mets have better starting pitching. I thought we’ve all learned this isn’t a thing.

    Are the Cubs Actually Good? I don’t want to get my hopes up too high but we’re a significant chunk into the season and they keep winning, have the best RD by a significant margin in the division. The Fangraphs projections still have them a big underdog in the division for the rest of the season, which annoys me. It’s too bad they hobbled themselves with the unnecessary payroll shedding in the off season huh.

    How bad can Jason Heyward play before he just gets permanently benched because I’m way past that point
  8. BigSlick
    This would be extremely dope for me because I got tickets for the first time in my life to see a Bears home game

    can we never horsefeathering have another west coast trip ever again
  10. BigSlick
    I'll always be more ok with the Brewers doing some stupid unbelievable garbage than the Cardinals, who have had sole possession of the Magic Pixie Dust for decades
  11. BigSlick
    If the MLB higher ups are so concerned about a boring product and hopes more offense makes for better viewership, why are they looking the other way on this? Very strange.
  12. BigSlick
    Well. This was an important one to get to staunch the bleeding. West coast trips are almost always a bloodbath so you just hope not to lose too much pace in the standings
  13. BigSlick
    should i have known who this guy patrick wisdom was like 2 weeks ago? because i most definitely did not
  14. BigSlick
    I’d settle with not getting swept in this series and the prognosis is not good
  15. BigSlick
    Is Zobrist really in such dire financial straits he has to auction his World Series ring off? Damn.
  16. BigSlick
    more than anything else, this hurts the most len has been so [expletive] good, and was the voice i most identify with the cubs. sucks
  17. BigSlick
    nice
  18. BigSlick
    I guess I'm fine with this?
  19. BigSlick
    I’m so glad the Cubs management decided to give this piece of garbage an extra year of to suck and malign the fan base. 2019 was so much like 2009-2010 it’s crazy
  20. BigSlick
    Jesus christ this whole season is shaping up to be like Trestman's second year. Just a disaster.
  21. BigSlick
    2019 is shaping up to be an extremely disappointing year for Chicago sports
  22. BigSlick
    its such a kick in the gut that Trubisky sucks. so much wasted time and wasted resources into that guy. I'm half convinced I'll go to my grave and Jay Cutler will be the best QB the Bears ever had
  23. BigSlick
    I'm entirely baffled by how Q is in the top 30 of starter WAR (fangraphs), his numbers look so damn pedestrian. But then, so does everyone elses, thats the juiced ball for you
  24. BigSlick
    Yeah I have to admit its pretty shocking to be here after where we ended the 2016 season at. Not saying it wasn't worth it (it totally was) but its been 3 seasons and there isn't much young talent to be excited about, much of the players we expected to get better got worse or stagnated, and our entire pitching staff is about to enter the retirement home
  25. BigSlick
    Yeah, 1.6 WAR (much of that I'm assuming is defense and 70+ odd plate appearances more) is not a minuscule difference - however accounting for salary and all that, well, its reasonable to say if there were concerns about Harper they're not entirely diminished. I wasn't as full-throated pro-Harper as many on this board, but reticence to sign him only makes sense if you're also committed to putting that kind of money into improving the team in other places, which it turns out they very much weren't into.
