It’s not personal with me and you either. I guess what is the hard evidence and facts that you think this team will suck? I just never see you providing evidence for your claims? The 2015 Nationals sucked btw. Scherzer was their 10th rated offensive player by war, they only had 2 guys over 2 WAR and only 5 guys between 1 and 2.3 WAR. They were a horsefeathers team with horsefeathers players like Denard Span, Danny Espinosa, Yunel Escobar, Ian Desmond, Clint Robinson and broken Zimmerman comprising their offense around Bryce. They were also managed by Matt Williams. for some reason i thought their rotation imploded that year Not really. Their offense was just built on mostly horsefeathers players outside of Bryce, 17th in the league in WAR and that’s with a 9+ WAR from him, they were 4th in pitching WAR. Plus Matt Williams was an all time awful manager. Strasburg either did blow up that year or came back late. He only threw 120 innings. -
i just don't know why you have to pretend like this isn't baseball, and that the cubs are pre-determined to be awesome. like kyle said, the 2015 nationals can happen to anyone. i shouldn't be predicting it to happen, but you shouldn't act like you know it won't. i think you want to be anti-meatball so much that you've basically become a new york sports fan.

The Blackhawks being awful has broken his brain this is actually kind of true. seeing the blackhawks descend into a lifeless group of ghosts has made me terrified of the cubs good times ending faster than we thought they would. the nfl is trash and the bulls are forever in purgatory, so this is all i have for sports. I mean if the Cubs give us a run like the Blackhawks did (3 championships and multiple deep playoff runs, I don’t really follow them, over 6+ years?) why wouldn’t you take that if it means the team sucks for a bit in like 2025

For the millionth time, they've won 292 games the last three years, been to three straight NLCS, and won the World Series. What the horsefeathers are you talking about? well we've already discussed how the 2017 season was oddly disappointing, and how we were supposed to be great again this season, so we don't really need to do that again. you're lying if you say things haven't been on a downward trend since the world series, but i understand that there should be more leeway since they've accomplished so much but really you guys should at least admit that bitching about game thread bitching is just a different (less annoying) way of venting frustration over the cubs losing games I get venting and that’s fine but it’s just oddly weird to me when the venting seems like legit thinking this team isn’t good. In this individual game, yes there was some suckiness. But what do you think is going on that makes this team suck and be on a “downward trend” that you can back up with stats? It just seems so over the top to me to think the team sucks. Venting to me is being pissed a hard hit ball from Kris didn’t win the game or some of the stupid/bad defense. Not claiming doom and gloom that this team sucks and will always suck.

It’s not confidence, it’s just mostly common sense knowing this is a good team. The constant complaining and doom boonering isn’t a great look on you either. Did u even enjoy just winning 5 in a row or were u just waiting for the first loss to make complaints? well expectations used to be higher than getting excited about a 5 game win streak against bottom feeders following a 5 game losing streak i'm just sick of the cubs constantly being worse than they should be In the vacuum of an individual game I guess, yes, they could be constantly worse than they should be but I don’t know how that’s what you think this team is or it’s core members have been really ever.

Probably early September after they clinched, it will be great. this fake confidence just comes across as desperate now It’s not confidence, it’s just mostly common sense knowing this is a good team.

That seemed like a dumb game.
-
We’ll only win 93 games if they remain 4+ era pitchers
-
Be better on defense you fucks
-
Jesus, Rizzo could’ve lost his whole leg there. Really nice flip by Q, horsefeathers footwork by Rizzo
-
We all know this ends up with Q pitching in to the 6th and maybe the 7th with like 6 hits, 2-3 BBs, 5-8Ks and 2-4 Runs.

Just don’t go lose 5 in a row after winning 5 in a row and we’ll be okay -
I don’t think Tim updated the servers enough to support such a large thread
-
Agreed. And over 30 pitches at that. Now he’s unavailable tomorrow He hadn’t pitched since Tuesday. I get that, but with all the games in a row coming up it seemed unnecessary to maybe make him unavailable for a situation that mattered. I also am on vacation and drinking (high five David) so didn’t care to look up when he last pitched.
-
Why is Carl pitching in this meaningless game when we have like 8 games in 7 days coming up.
-
Odd that Zobrist is out, hopefully another injury didn’t pop up. Weather looks good enough that this should get in.
-
He has two options for cheap that keep him here through 2021. By then he’ll be 32ish, might just be best to let him go by then (Harper to 1B maybe?),
-
It’s been the lowest of leverage situations but Wilson looks to be on his way to being a little fixed lately. Edit: indeed the eye tests matches the stats, might be time to throw him in a leverage spot soon.
-
The guy with 2 career TJ surgeries who hasn’t topped 158 innings in his career is definitely the guy we should expect to stay healthy over a bunch of guys who’ve shown to be very durable their entire careers.
-
What’s with the horsefeathering bunt attempts
-
And cost us at least one winnable playoff game He’ll be in the 2016 Hammel role of cheerleader
-
I know this is kinda joking but pretty sure his arm blew up this week or last
-
Chatwood is gonna win 17 to 20+ games with a sub 3.25 ERA and it’s gonna be maddening

That’s a good guess or else have him ready for Darvish’s next scheduled start in case he needs a day or two more.
