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 keep seeing the "2017 was disappointing" stuff and I don't get quite get it. They won 92 games and went to the NLCS, a year after playing into November and hardly having a day off in the offseason. They won a playoff series with Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg pitching in 80% of the games. That's a great baseball season, as ugly as it was for half the season. Clinching in Busch and making them watch the Cubs celebrate on their field and officially eliminating them with a game winning hit by Taylor Davis and a robbed homer by Leonys Martin a few days after crushing the Brewers hopes by taking 3 of 4 from them in their stadium in front of their our fans will never be disappointing.
