TBS stream is unwatchable, can't get it to play for more than 5 seconds at a time. Thankfully none of the games that matter will be on there and I can watch the Cubs on FSGo...which is also terrible. Ugh
SlingTV's Blue package is your most economical bet(aside from bumming someone else's cable login), $25/month for the plan that has both TBS and FS1. Playstation Vue is more expensive but would also work.
http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-the-cubs-stack-up-within-baseball-history/ No big deal, just Jeff Sullivan making the convincing argument that the 2016 Cubs had one of the top seasons in baseball history.
Not picking the best team because they're the best team seems like an implicit admission that this is all silly guesses at the result of coinflips. Harmless fun, but pointless fun too if you have that attitude towards it.
