i never would've guessed cecil managed to put up a 3 win season, much less a 6+.

Prince Fielder ends his career with 319 HR, same as Cecil.
-
How fickle are those numbers on a season to season basis? I'm assuming very. I see Bryant was the 2nd most clutch player in the NL last year, now he's the least clutch player this year. Very fickle and pretty meaningless IMO I can see it having a little actual utility for seeing which relievers have been used most effectively (by maximizing their high leverage spots), but that's about it.

what a perfect GIF
-
yeah. i mean, we got our taste of beating them in glorious dong heavy fashion. it doesn't need to be revisited and possibly tarnished.
-
i'm not scared of them any more than i'm "scared" of any other opponent. i just really don't want them to know the joy of beating us in the playoffs.
-
I'd put Crawford in there but he probably gets too much value from his defense/position to be considered seriously ahead of those guys.
-
just remembered a couple more bad things about the 90s bears "all the pieces are in place" and trading a horsefeathering 1st round pick for rick horsefeathering mirer
-
I honestly didn't realize KB was easily leading the NL in WAR. He's a solid half win ahead of Seager. At best, I figured we'd have Bryzzo in the conversation since both are on the best team in MLB, but I didn't realize Bryant was easily deserving. If so, pretty crazy. Dude won the college MVP thing one year, then won minor league player of the year, then won NL ROY, and then wins NL MVP?
-
I'd rather see the Cards in the playoffs than the Mets. I'd rather see neither. Those are 1a and 1b of teams I absolutely do not want to lose to.
-
totally disagree... 96-2000 bears. lasted longer and were worse. as far as embarrassment and bumbling around (which i'm guessing is where you have trestman winning), there was plenty between the clearly worst mccaskey, not having a GM, curtis enis, cade, etc.
-
fluke world series run or not, nah and looking at it in such a binary way ("going to the playoffs once") really helps your position, but is pretty disingenuous. the 2011 and 12 bears were very good, maybe great, teams that got royally fucked by bad luck.

what a loser. i bet he hasn't fucked any porn stars.

this is all garbage they've been a mess a handful of other teams have done worse but we were all relieved when their incompetence had a touch of professionalism last year. it's a huge bummer I agree its not a great organization but my point was that its not one that's tempting me to bail on them. If I was a Browns fan or a Bills fan or a Dolphins fan or even a 49ers fan (yes they can make the same 'on field success' argument that I made about the Bears but I would argue that their FO and ownership make the Bears general incompetent ownership look like the Patriots in comparison), I could understand it. I have to agree with you here. I only personally experienced about half of the 90s, but if there was a bail out period, that was it (which is pretty funny since that's when I jumped in as a fan). The 2000s/10s have been a mixed bag of some success and legit respectability under Lovie and some embarrassment since, particularly with Trestman, but not near enough for me to consider bailing. For my 3 teams, I'm not sure what the worst period was between the 90's Cubs, 90's Bears, and early 2000 Bulls eras. Probably the Bulls, but at least that followed insane dominance.

8/9 Angels (Weaver) @ Cubs (Lackey) 7:05 CST WGN
David replied to Clem Fandango's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Lackey has significantly better peripherals, which typically means he projects better, despite having had worse "actual" results in terms of earned runs. -
How do the Red Sox have better playoff odds across the board with a worse record than the Orioles? Run differential, Actually, it's projections. Obviously, that may (or may not) be reflected in the run differential too, as the concepts kind of go hand in hand.

8/9 Angels (Weaver) @ Cubs (Lackey) 7:05 CST WGN
David replied to Clem Fandango's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
this conversation about the angels being a massive dumpster fire of an organization is taking me back to this fun argument from 2014 http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=62811&p=3099988&hilit=angels+trout#p3100014 -
Disagree. Spiegel and Goff, and even Boers and Bernstein are miles better than what Murph was doing. Murphy is probably bad enough to say that about Kaplan, but that's pretty bad
