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.

Three Two-Run Homers Crush Cubs? What Else is New?
Patrick88 replied to Matthew Trueblood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Cubs need to fire more than Hottovy. They need to fire everybody in the front office and start a long rebuild.- 5 replies

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.

that is my opinion though. I'd rather have sustained success, than just one year of winning.

I'd still rather be the Brewers since 2011, than the Cubs since 2011.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No, the Chicago Cubs Should Not Trade for Tarik Skubal
Patrick88 replied to Matthew Trueblood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
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 . -

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. -

I am not a troll. I agree with everything you say. I just think this team needs to tear it down again. -

I wish this team would be sellers, but they have turned it around. Next year at this time you could be looking at a rebuild, and that is what we should all be rooting for. 2027 will be the year to wave that white flag. Enjoy it Cubs fans, because it will only get worse from here. Also, don't be shocked if the Brewers make a big trade and win the world series. Part of me is rooting for the Brewers though, since they have a commitment to winning and they aren't owned by Tom Ricketts.
