    I will stand on the hill that Nico should have been traded in 2024. Now Tommy should fire Jed and call up Rick Hahn to fix this. First order of business is to trade PCA for prospects. Time to burn it down.

    there is not much to be positive about the Cubs. It has been pretty mediocre since 1945.
  3. Patrick88
    Yes, because they are world champions and a model organization.
  4. Patrick88
    Cubs need to find their Chris Getz, but I don't think that is going to happen. Instead, the Cubs are back stuck in 2009 and 2010.

    First off I am not trying to start an argument with you. Can I ask what you mean I am missing nuance and context? We are both in agreement they need change things and will succeed in doing so. So what do they do if they don't succeed? Isn't the next and only option to tear it down? I personally see this team struggle to be .500 next year.

    I am not a brewers fan.
  7. Patrick88
    No, I am Cubs fan. It is a fact that is where it is headed. Only way to get out of this mediocrity is a rebuild.

  9. Patrick88
    then next year will look a lot like 2009 and 2010.
  10. Patrick88
    win tonight, or it is really time to start thinking about that rebuild.
  11. Patrick88
    Cubs need to fire more than Hottovy. They need to fire everybody in the front office and start a long rebuild.
  12. Patrick88
    yes, the Brewers will be contending for a world series next year. the Cubs will be mediocre. I said the Cubs should trade PCA, because it would be a waste to keep him around. Keeping him around his like having Sammy and Ryne all over again. Just waiting the career of a player.

    Brewers are going to the NLCS this year, and I think they win it all.
  14. Patrick88
    that is my opinion though. I'd rather have sustained success, than just one year of winning.
  15. Patrick88
    I'd still rather be the Brewers since 2011, than the Cubs since 2011.
  16. Patrick88
    those two will be fired very soon though.
  17. Patrick88
    Brewers have a shot this November. If they don't do it this year, then maybe next year. Maybe next year means something in Milwaukee.
  18. Patrick88
    I am talking about recently. I'd rather have the Brewers past success in the past 15 years vs the Cubs success in the past 15 years. The Brewers have owned the Cubs and will continuing owning the Cubs. The Brewers are also the 2nd best organization in baseball. They could beat the best organization this fall.
  19. Patrick88
    they have sustained success. That is something the Cubs never have had. I'd take sustained success, rather than winning once in 108 years. Brewers have a really good chance of having one this November.
  20. Patrick88
    If it makes Cubs fans feel any better, Craigers will be looking for a new job after next season. It is going to look a lot like a rebuild this time next year. Enjoy this year while you can. The Cubs also managed to waste an MVP year from PCA, just like they did with Sammy, Ryne and Andre. Also, I don't understand why they aren't more Brewers fans from Chicago. They should be the unofficial team of Chicago. They have had more success than the Cubs ever have dreamed of having. It baffles me.
  21. Patrick88
    Well at this time next year, I might have my wish of a rebuild. There isn't a Theo Epstein to save them though. Sadly, Theo didn't really save the Cubs anyway. He was more of Andy McPhail.
  22. Patrick88
    Ok, I get all of that. I also wasn't trying to reignite argument, so I will apologize for that. They aren't catching the Brewers, or winning a world series, that is why suggested trading away players. They aren't going to do that though. I wish they would, because I am not optimistic about next year or the year after. It doesn't matter what I think though. I know I brought up the White Sox 1997 white flag trade. I should have instead referenced the Yankees 10 years ago. We all know what happened with that. I have also said they said should trade PCA. I have only said that, because I don't want a repeat of the Sammy era. I'll try and stop dropping my thoughts though. hah. If anything I am doomer, and not a troll .
  23. Patrick88
    I mean winning 90 games a year is great. They might not win 90 games this year though. They are for sure going to be worse next year though.
  24. Patrick88
    Theo really wasn't that great. He promised sustained success and a player development machine. Neither really happened. The Cubs have also only won two playoff series, since winning it all 10 years ago.
  25. Patrick88
    I am not a troll. I agree with everything you say. I just think this team needs to tear it down again.
