Can I vent in this thread about the Brewers? Which small child did they sacrifice to the Baseball Gods? How did they get to play the longest streak of unbelievably lucky and good baseball in history (don’t care if this is true or not)? Why do they get to fall down 8-1 and effortlessly come back?
the brewers currently hold the largest lead of any division leader right now. It’s so over we don’t even know it’s over. It wasn’t even a fight. It just ended in 3 weeks.
You’re simply not allowed to blow this many runners in scoring position no out situations - it’s a hateful hateful thing to do. And you get, rightfully, punished for it.
I get trying to find something to hold onto and that is actionable but the most painful and frustrating thing about baseball is that you can’t really do much other than hope players come out of their funk
the cubs are absolutely maddening right now but, astonishingly, this is still not a historic collapse. not yet anyway (it would be would they collapse out of the playoffs entirely)
it would be so so funny if the cubs figured out a way to only win 83 games this year but i think they've built up too much of a cushion to let that happen
anyway i hate this team and they hate me
Harlan Ellison once wrote something very insightful:
“HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.”
what was the number a poster quoted in a gameday thread recently? That the Cubs are like 0-18 in games where the opponent has a lead at any point since the ASB? Its crazy
