  1. so sick of hearing about this trade. eloy is good but not good enough for this to bother me that much, considering all the good things that theo did. i doubt that brewers fans have trouble sleeping at night because they traded nelson cruz in 2006
  2. KB's peak (which is a pretty awesome peak): he gave us nearly 30 war (for cheap) and was the league mvp the season we won a world series. if this is the end of KB being great, i'm at peace with it. HAVING SAID THAT, it wouldn't really surprise me if he rebounds and has some more 4-5 win seasons
  3. altuve- .221/.288/.315 bregman- .263/.368/.465 correa- .269/.341/.389 springer- .240/.343/.487 gurriel- .260/.304/.445
  4. nuggets are a p cool team
  5. yelich is so bad right now
  6. how can someone be wrong this often?
  7. now that we vanquished the brewers they are going to lose like 8 of 10 to the cardinals
  8. do you think the "end racism" shirts will be enough to do the job? i'm skeptical
  9. when your garbage time stat padding accidentally leads to a win
  10. 12 years apart, the cubs threw 2 no-hitters in miller park without any brewers fans in the stands either time
  11. theo has gotten a lot of horsefeathers over the last few years (from me included), but it's kind of impressive that we're still somehow a goodish team after ownership completely cut off spending for the last 2 offseasons
  12. nba stars act so lame so often
  13. Only Cons bullpen sucks
  14. I promise I wont post after a single loss the rest of the year if the cubs win a single game this weekend. the door is still open to trash the cubs after wins
  15. i don't know why you're suddenly dismissing javy's 2019 just because his damage came early in the season. he was worth 4.4 wins last season in 138 games. with his defense and positional value, i have a lot more confidence in javy being a good starter going forward. even before he broke out offensively and was still at 2B, he was a 2-3 win player.
  16. After not being shut out for the first 42 games of the season they’ve now been shut out in 2 of the last 3 games. Basically every hitter is in some kind of slump right now except Contreras. Some of them have been in slumps most of the year. Brutal The downfalls of a 60 game season and only being ~45 games in. We’d be in mid May right now in a normal year and all this would be noise. the fact that the season ends in like 15 games isn't making people more worried about them than if it were 45 games into a normal season. it's not about the length of the suckage as much as the degree of it. there are slumps and then there is whatever is happening with bryant and baez. i'm confident in baez rebounding next year, but kb just looks completely broken down.
  17. Not falling for the cubs seemingly having it in the bag these hypotheticals always make things seem more secure than they are, because ultimately 20 games or whatever is still a tiny sample size for this game. a 3 or 4 game losing streak by the cubs and a 3 or 4 game winning streak by the cardinals blows the whole thing up in half a week. its kind of like the posts about the cubs only needing to go .500 after the 13-3 start to finish 35-25. that seems like no problem because the cubs are at least an average team, but horsefeathers turns around so quickly in this sport. And a 3 game losing streak by the Cubs coinciding with a 3 game win streak by the Cardinals has a roughly 1.5% chance of happening. So, again, basic math and probability has us being in a good spot. yes, i understand the odds are highly in their favor

  19. Why are you even here? You clearly don’t like the team. They do nothing but annoy you. If you’re just going to come here after they lose and do your usual “the Cubs are blowing it again” schtick, just go away. I promise I wont post after a single loss the rest of the year if the cubs win a single game this weekend.
  20. fuggin classic cubs. cant wait to see what kind of nightmares unfold tomorrow and sunday as they begin their quest to finish behind the brewers yet again

  23. watching the cubes counts as a underlying condition for covid
