  1. since then I'd say the heat, the durant warriors, the lightning, and the blackhawks could all count as superteams. baseball is harder because of the randomness of the playoffs
  2. there are also tons of examples of super teams working out great. buying awesome players absolutely helps you win. the idea that being a "superteam" is a detriment to winning holds no weight. the dodgers have the best chance of winning the world series due to these moves
  3. you had to really dig deep for those 3 examples
  4. what? you're completely missing the point. I was making a tongue in cheek post about how all is not lost.
  5. they're insanely stacked, but the field will still be favored each year
  6. on the bright side, the odds are still against them winning the world series each year, so we'll get to enjoy them losing most octobers then we will just find a way to discredit the ones they do win, just like 2020
  7. I don't think you actually believe they should do this
  8. I think I've been pretty civil. i've been criticizing your behavior. meanwhile you're calling me a moron and talking about my parents and stuff haha. it's quite a leap
  9. I love how you're pretending to be above it all and nonplussed about it, then you bust out this post
  10. you just gonna keep complaining about civility or whatever every time you get called out on a bad take? the "geez guys, don't get all upset over little old me" thing isn't working
  11. we've done this a million times, but I'll do it one last time. you have every right to be mad at the cubs. we all are. the ricketts suck. jed is operating like a small market gm. the cubs are a disgrace in many ways. nobody is defending any of that. the annoying stuff is the reactionary nonsense and the pouty assumption that nothing will happen this offseason. for example, when a japanese reliever signs for pennies, the logical reaction would be "wow, teams must not think he's good", not "wow, the padres schooled everyone, jed must be asleep still lolllll". but I'll bow out of this thread again
  12. bad takes on nsbb will continue to get called out. I've had a ton of them myself, and I'm better off for this site not sanctioning my buffoonery
  13. this thread is full of reactionary takes and people pissing about every single player that signs somewhere. it's the same low quality stuff over and over
  14. I am intrigued about what this team could look like with zach and demar gone
  15. maybe consider taking a break and check on the cubs in a month or two if every little bit of news is going to enrage you what's funny is that this place has always been as negative about the cubs as anybody, but some of you keep forcing us to defend them
  16. I don't know how many times we have to have the discussion about how most of the cubs' rumored targets are still on the market. when you consider what they spent last offseason, it's pretty clear what the plan is. they're trying to get deals on bellinger and the other guys we have heard about over and over. will it work? I don't know, but it's pretty clear that they plan to spend (intelligently, of course) this offseason. it's embarrassing that they aren't in on the top guys, and it's pretty ugly right now, but they are not punting 2024. now please start hating the cubs for the correct reasons
  17. you don't expect that
  18. nobody thinks Jed is a genius. that is not a thing
  19. they would have already been at the 50 without the drop
  20. Brett does this literally every time there's another team rumored to be interested in a player
  21. so just let the brewers win a lousy division again
