  1. they're insanely stacked, but the field will still be favored each year
  2. 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
  3. I don't think you actually believe they should do this
  4. 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
  5. I love how you're pretending to be above it all and nonplussed about it, then you bust out this post
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. I am intrigued about what this team could look like with zach and demar gone
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. you don't expect that
  14. nobody thinks Jed is a genius. that is not a thing
  15. they would have already been at the 50 without the drop
  16. Brett does this literally every time there's another team rumored to be interested in a player
  17. so just let the brewers win a lousy division again
  18. i get that, and it's annoying, but it felt like you were replying to my post about jed not being aggressive. of course he's trying, and i still think we'll end up with an alright offseason, but saying they aren't being aggressive isn't the same as saying they aren't trying. the wait-for-bargains strategy just sucks. it might end up working out, but i don't think it's how this team should be operating.
  19. come on derwood
  20. the division is right there for the taking, we have tons of assets, and Jed still can't be aggressive.
