i just realized that ohtani being in the AL is a real bummer, entertainment wise. we won't be getting awesome individual games where he strikes out like 14 guys and then hits the game winning home run late. we'll only get a taste of one side each time he plays.
-
the cubs run differential was 8 runs better than the brewers today and somehow they lost ground. that team has definitely taken over as my most hated team in the central.
-
how can this keep happening
-
i see maddon learned nothing from his game 7 mistakes
-
how the f does russell have a .349 obp redemption for cubswin11 i guess
-

-
interesting throw
-
what do you mean? Like, at some point it's going to start raining hard again, and they won't end up getting through 5 innings and everything will be wiped out. oh, does the radar show a lot more rain coming through?
-
what do you mean?
-
it's making my head spin thinking about all the mental activities we can do with this free time
-
a thread of long neck pictures and not a single one of mark prior
-
i haven't heard anything about doubleheader plans. does this rainout and the day off Monday mean we can just use the regular starters?
-
being sane: not that bad!
-
i almost wanted them to lose so i could test out my new powers
-
i think i'm actually more annoyed that the stupid brewers keep winning in bs fashion than i am about the cubs.
-
I'm going to be a better fan starting now

i just don't know why you have to pretend like this isn't baseball, and that the cubs are pre-determined to be awesome. like kyle said, the 2015 nationals can happen to anyone. i shouldn't be predicting it to happen, but you shouldn't act like you know it won't. i think you want to be anti-meatball so much that you've basically become a new york sports fan. It’s not personal with me and you either. I guess what is the hard evidence and facts that you think this team will suck? I just never see you providing evidence for your claims? The 2015 Nationals sucked btw. Scherzer was their 10th rated offensive player by war, they only had 2 guys over 2 WAR and only 5 guys between 1 and 2.3 WAR. They were a horsefeathers team with horsefeathers players like Denard Span, Danny Espinosa, Yunel Escobar, Ian Desmond, Clint Robinson and broken Zimmerman comprising their offense around Bryce. They were also managed by Matt Williams. for some reason i thought their rotation imploded that year

this is actually kind of true. seeing the blackhawks descend into a lifeless group of ghosts has made me terrified of the cubs good times ending faster than we thought they would. the nfl is trash and the bulls are forever in purgatory, so this is all i have for sports. I mean if the Cubs give us a run like the Blackhawks did (3 championships and multiple deep playoff runs, I don’t really follow them, over 6+ years?) why wouldn’t you take that if it means the team sucks for a bit in like 2025 i never said the blackhawks were anything short of a massive success, just that i know how sad it is when that kind of magic fades away

whatever, you guys sound like horsefeathering robots half the time. we were all hoping for a much better start than 21-17 36 hours ago the Cubs were playing at a 95 win pace. Taking a moment to not tie every frustrating thing that happens in a baseball season as some sign of tragedy or ultimate disappointment is healthy perspective, not being a robot. It’s not never getting upset, it’s understanding that the frustration you feel in the moment is not indicative of the larger whole. and less than a week before that they were playing at like an 85 win pace. the aggravation comes from the fact that the "larger whole" keeps appearing to take shape, then they horsefeathers the bed again and have to start over

The Blackhawks being awful has broken his brain this is actually kind of true. seeing the blackhawks descend into a lifeless group of ghosts has made me terrified of the cubs good times ending faster than we thought they would. the nfl is trash and the bulls are forever in purgatory, so this is all i have for sports.
