what gimmick? I guess you dont remember the game threads from 2018

this is not what happened. he disappeared after they blew the division to the brewers in 2018 and then briefly came back when it looked like the cubs were good again early last season. his personality was always tied to the cubs winning. i know he was plenty appalled at the off-field stuff (all of us here are), but he didn't stop following the cubs because of it. tree, on the other hand, appears to have legitimately quit the cubs after the russell stuff. i remember he said something about us all being complicit if we continued following the cubs after that, and then he basically bolted. he's better than us for it. Duke very clearly stated the reasons he was paying less and less attention to the Cubs. It was very obviously related to the racist trump supporting owners and russell situation. There’s a lot of names I’d put in the box “personality tied to Cubs winning” before him. he stated it like we've all stated it, but it's not the reason his online presence disappeared. he was just as high on the cubs in early 2019 as he ever was, and that was well after the ownership and russell stuff had been established. he quit nsbb in particular right after the cubs blew the division to the brewers in 2018. it wasnt about ownership. his gimmick only worked when the cubs were dominant. look at his twitter over the first 2 months of last season before the cubs started turning bad again. that's a hardcore cubs fan.

He was gone for a while before he popped into the Is Duke Silver Dead? thread in February of last year. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2620&hilit=duke+silver&start=30 I was legitimately relieved and happy when he popped into that thread. Total starlin gif reaction from me at my breakfast table. I could be wrong, but I feel like I remember him saying something about the Ricketts being owners/Addison Russell being on the team as dampening his enjoyment of the cubs before he basically stopped posting. Yeah, Duke said the Cubs being run by and employing turd humans completely turned him off to following them, and killed the fun of talking about them. Good for him. this is not what happened. he disappeared after they blew the division to the brewers in 2018 and then briefly came back when it looked like the cubs were good again early last season. his personality was always tied to the cubs winning. i know he was plenty appalled at the off-field stuff (all of us here are), but he didn't stop following the cubs because of it. tree, on the other hand, appears to have legitimately quit the cubs after the russell stuff. i remember he said something about us all being complicit if we continued following the cubs after that, and then he basically bolted. he's better than us for it.

i don't watch college sports. how top heavy is this draft? is 4 a big improvement over 7? would getting 1 or 2 be a big improvement over 4?

ohhhhh, he didn't know that the word was bad https://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/2020/08/20/thom-brennaman-what-said-wrong/3401957001/

"i don't believe what i just saw!" (it was 2 men holding hands)

duke snider? now that's a sight for sore balls

A while back one of my managers was playing an 80s playlist over our store system before we opened in the morning. I had never heard the unedited version before, but Dire Straits - Money For Nothing, came on and I was floored when I heard that word plain as day in one of the lyrics. This feels like another victory as a Cubs fan tonight. That horsefeathering guy sucks. in their defense, they're essentially criticizing the usage of the word in that song

turns out he was talking about wakanda

booooy ohh boooyyy

too lazy to look, when was the last time the cubs won a doubleheader?

nothing matters

such a predictable organization

I mean, that was the story with the cubs for the last 2 seasons a series win would have put them 7.5 up on the brewers with 40ish games to play. Instead they're one loss away from 3.5

same old horsefeathers. cant wait to see when the brewers pass them this year.

why does imb like soccer

i don't understand how they're 13-4 with bryant, baez, and rizzo all sucking (rizzo is only kind of sucking but still sucking)

this game kind of sums up the last 2 seasons of cubs vs brewers. have 'em on the ropes and can't put them away.

he's not even as big a prospect as hughes, let alone crosby

I don't think they will aggravate anyone unless they eliminate the last Canadian based team theres still a lot of residual hatred for the hawks from other fanbases. i've already seen a lot of people who are annoyed about them lucking into the playoffs. if they can take advantage of a weak conference and fluke their way to a deep playoff run, it would annoy so many people.

so they luck into getting the 8 spot, and now the 1 seed they get to face only had a +16 goal differential on the season. the knights are still good and the hawks are still bad, so it shouldn't matter, but the door is open to aggravate a lot of people.

i haven't noticed it that much in baseball, but playoff ot hockey does feel different without a crowd

vintage performance from crawford

hawks smelling blood like the old days?
