  1. That's the way to succeed in business. Buy high and sell low. Also: Buy into all small sample sizes.
  2. Jon deserves the good luck. He was incredibly unlucky last year.
  3. http://wrigleyville.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2016/06/02/thinking-probabilistically-about-sonny-gray-stephen-piscotty-kris-bryant-and-kyle-hendricks/
  4. Bad news. With that pitch count, he might make it into the 5th.
  5. I'm sorry, but it's absolutely a Derwood moment. He essentially said, "I just want to yell about our MVP, alright!?" and then in his very next post he made fun of Reds fans for hating their own MVP.
  6. You're right; Joey Votto's never even won anything in Cincinnati.
  7. They're on pace to win over 90 games again this year. They don't have many sins.
  8. They won their division and made the NLCS last year. And this year isn't even half over. The complaining is incredibly silly.
  9. Mainly I don't care because what they do doesn't really matter to us. One team is coming out of the AL. We only have to face one. If we do, it will be in the World Series. Which means we made it all the way to the World Series. It's going to be a good team, no matter who it is. But it will also be a team we can beat. So I don't care what they do unless they beat us in the World Series.
  10. The Astros were a wild card team in 2015, just like us. So what? All you dumped out there was an arbitrary list of past team accomplishments that the Cubs technically hit first that the Astros are trending like it'll be pretty easy for them to match or surpass. Ok. When they surpass, then I'll start being envious of them. They haven't yet.
  11. This is basically like saying an older sibling is automatically the better one just because they showed up first. The Astros were a wild card team in 2015, just like us.
  12. Ugh. Who would we really feel comfortable with making a playoff start? All of them except Chatwood.
  13. I really don't care what any AL team is doing. And I'll wait awhile to be envious of a team that in the last four years has 11 fewer wins, the same amount of World Series titles, the same amount of 100-win seasons, 2 fewer 90-win seasons, 1 fewer division titles, 2 fewer LCS appearances, and 1 fewer playoff appearances.
  14. If the Brewers were playing at an 85-win pace, no one would be bitching about this Cubs team. I take that back; it wouldn't be as bad. But everyone is spoiled from the title like Bryant's Disco Ball said.
  15. Just stating facts. I think it's odd people hate the best Cubs' teams of their lifetimes. Also a fact: this team was a massively not fun suckfest in the first half last year. By the end, the NLCS run was awesome, and as a whole, the year was a success. But to pretend that on a day-to-day basis the team was fun to watch is revisionist history. And despite the good overall record/pace right now, the team is not fun to watch as often as it is a blast to watch Yeah, that's how baseball goes. Even the best teams lose like 70 games and only win 90. There's almost always going to be a near equal amount of fun and not fun, if we are just looking at wins and losses. They've definitely had some stinkers. But I've enjoyed watching them both of the last two years.
  16. oh god, get the horsefeathers over yourself man Duke is, like, reverse Kyle-ing right now Just stating facts. I think it's odd people hate the best Cubs' teams of their lifetimes.
