You are asking if people will voice complaints about the team when they are good? People complained when the team was good during the Jim Hendry era, fwiw. Unless they reel off a few 100 win juggernaut type seasons there will be stuff to complain about. So, not sure if that's what you want to hear or not. -

Having confidence in their ability to figure out a way to find pitching makes sense to me, but not being worried at all reeks of the similar overconfidence some people have in all the prospects.

Hey, WGN, there is not currently a man on second base. He was thrown out stealing. Lose the yellow dot.

veteran pitchers figured out how to not get traded from the cubs

I'm pretty sure all those losses and all those losing seasons were real and will remain in the record books. They are not just a figment of my imagination. It would be neat if they were, but also kind of scary. They're there, but they're over, It is July 25th and the Cubs have a .410 W%. Again, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

What does a bandwagon have to do with anything? There's instantly going to be no stink is my point. If the team is popular, winning, making money, etc., who is sniffing up this metaphorical stink? Damage to fan psyche? Again, this only matters in debates (like the one the past few pages) about how the FO's or ownership's tenure ultimately gets perceived, but why do we really care about that? Well, the point is you seem to be assuming that at the first sign of good times there is no risk and the wins will continue for a very long time. I think winning big early with a young team is a great sign that they will be able to win big for a number of years, but it is by far not a guarantee. It's entirely possible that we see big strides next year and an 82 win season, followed by back to back 90s, and then right back to 80. The stink of the past half decade will not have disappeared if that is the case.

Being set-up to become awesome and being awesome are very different. It's going to take a hell of a lot of winning to wash the stink off regardless.

I didn't say they had to win 100 games for three straight years. But you absolutely have to consider the horrible job they have done in the first three years fielding a major league baseball team when all is said and done. This losing counts. If they win the next three years you can't claim they built a consistent winner when it took 3 years of excessive losing to get there. It will take a very long time of major success to justify what has happened to date. Maybe they do it. Maybe they don't.

1) If it makes you feel better to pretend they didn't take a dive, knock yourself out. 2) I already made the point that you can go ahead and pretend 2012 didn't happen in order to appease the apologists that don't care about winning. And the comparison still doesn't look good.
