  1. Petition to rename the thread "The Cubs suck and we were always right to hate them"
  2. Combine the three and and they might be good for half as many home runs as Bryce Harper. At roughly half the cost. The system works.
  3. Let me tell you a story about the 1997 Cubs. I was gonna say. That was the worst way to start a season ever. Even when I knew the team was dogpoop, there was always a chance to say "Hey, we're 7-5, this could be it." That season just crapped all over your hopes before it even started.
  4. The nice thing about having players under pre-FA is that if Hendricks turns into a pumpkin, you aren't committed to him. Having team control without guaranteed years is so OP. I can't wait until we get a thread titled "Cubs suck and we were right to hate them."
  5. The refusal to make any trades at all has been even more egregious than the wasting of payroll space.
  6. Yes, scoring more runs literally would have helped them win the two games they lost.
  7. Theo can't do pitching. This is exactly what happened in Boston too. Hopefully it plays out the same way.
  8. I'm just going to pretend the rebuild has already started and rebuilds are fun. yay, draft pick improvement!
  9. Cubs in first place for the first time since right before the tiebreaker game with the Brewers ended
  10. He's a pitcher. It's 50/50 that his early 30s will be spent with his arm attached to his body. Yes, that's part of why he's getting money comparable to a post-prime outfielder instead of the 28 year old who has a 3 year ERA identical to Chris Sale, who as luck would have it also just signed, but for twice as much AAV. Only thing better than that would be having him on a series of one-year optional commitments
  11. He's a pitcher. It's 50/50 that his early 30s will be spent with his arm attached to his body.
  12. They come out SuperCubs and you disrespect them with this. You just jinxed the whole season.
  13. 6th rounder that can become a 5th
  14. I want this clip played on repeat at my funeral I want it on repeat on my honeymoon
  15. "Bad deals are actually good because it shows players we will reward them" is the new "Obviously we have money for Harper, if we didn't, Hamels' deal would be stupid." I do like the owners having less money, sure.
  16. I just want it on the record that giving a bunch of guaranteed years to a pitcher you had under team control for two more years is a bad idea on principle, even if the money itself isn't bad. Just don't give pitchers guaranteed years when you don't have to. Hello to everyone in four years looking back at this thread because "everybody liked the deal at the time, who could have known?"
  17. I am well-known for my love of giving guaranteed money and years to pitchers when you didn't have to.
