  1. I am 100% serious that I would rather just lose this game than have to risk Ryan Braun celebrating at Wrigley Field a second time.
  2. You can tell this season isn't going well for the Cubs by how many excuses and complains we have about things like the schedule and the umpires and opposing players having hot streaks.
  3. For real though, we're fine, so long as nobody repeats the mistakes of the SBTB thread and posts something from the remake.
  4. Trubisky will throw three more TD passes despite not having an opponent.
  5. Just thought I would open this thread up to a random midseason page and it did not disappoint. He meant in MLB overall. They're gonna lose to the Rockies and be in a four-way tie for 5th with the other LDS losers.
  6. I'd really like to see one of your posts that was this rational and used actual logic instead of just lashing out in anger. We can all agree on that. And, yes, the Cubs having more talent and the best record in the NL meant they should have won the division. They didn't. We all know sometimes it doesn't happen. But usually it does. That's why we weren't freaking out in horsefeathering June. lol if you want to mistake "calmly" dismissing the brewers viability as a division opponent for 5 months as analysis, be my guest. I think we can line our posts up on the topic and let history judge that one. Again, no one, not even me of all people, was "freaking out in horsefeathering june." I was trying to explain to people like you that despite allllll the built-in benefits we go into the season with, the margin between what we were at that point in the season and what the brewers were at that point is the season was not wide enough for all the dismissive bragging. It's a lovely story but you keep leaving out the part where you blinked, apologized to Duke and jinxed the season.
  7. We *are* the loser. We face the impending winner. No the winner faces the Braves in the NLDS. And then the loser faces us and becomes the winner.
  8. We *are* the loser. We face the impending winner.
  9. I mostly just remember Levin because he took mah jerb.
  10. What is better: Gracefully go out to the Dodgers or Rockies in a respectable Wrigley Field farewell OR Sauntering up to Milwaukee for another three beatings so we can all whine about not getting enough off days and that Yelich shouldn't be allowed to be good.
  11. I started a thread for this like a month ago and nobody took it seriously :(
  12. God this is the stupidest, most NSBB take and I'm surprised even more people aren't in on it. You split 10s, don't you. Probability that can be mathematically measured != takes filtered through fan biases
  13. So in the end, the only thing the Bote slam accomplished was to give Ryan Braun a chance to celebrate at Wrigley Field. Way to go, jerk.
  14. i tried to warn you idiots but noooo "lol schoop what is stearns thinking lol the brewers are trash lol look at the run differential" anyway all we have to do is beat colorado* (please be colorado) tomorrow and everything is essentially fine. sucks watching the brewers win on your field in a game you didn't even really need to play but whatever, just win one game and our {entering david mode} win probability for the playoffs or whatever is not meaningfully different than it would have been had we won today. Plus lester is going You do realize that the Brewers won the division by 1 game and closed the season with 8 in a row, right? You were whining about amazing they were long before they pulled off an extremely improbable end to the season. Kudos to Milwaukee for pulling it off, but the hubris was always based on probability. It sucks for us that this is how the division was lost but your warnings in mid-July were still dumb. God this is the stupidest, most NSBB take and I'm surprised even more people aren't in on it.
  15. * - 2018 Postseason Game Thread Starter(s)
  16. I don't know if I want them to beat Colorado or LA just for the chance to be embarrassed by the Brewers for three more games. Sometimes it's smart to just stay down.
  17. Yeah, that sums up the 2018 regular season perfectly. It was frustrating and mind-boggling and the Brewers played much better than anyone would have thought. i tried to warn you idiots but noooo "lol schoop what is stearns thinking lol the brewers are trash lol look at the run differential" anyway all we have to do is beat colorado* (please be colorado) tomorrow and everything is essentially fine. sucks watching the brewers win on your field in a game you didn't even really need to play but whatever, just win one game and our {entering david mode} win probability for the playoffs or whatever is not meaningfully different than it would have been had we won today. Plus lester is going Turns out 5-dimensional chess is a real game
  18. The Cubs knocked out the Pirates and Cardinals in 2015 and then won the WS in 2016 on the back of a guy who had a 5.46 career ERA at age 27 when we got him. We don't get to cry and moan because Yelich had a good month.
  19. I guess I'm fine with the Brewers winning out the season and probably most of next spring too. Maybe we can cool them off in April.
  20. Automatically lower. i should've remembered that from the 2015 nlcs We've been in so many playoff series lately that they all start to blend together. (how weird is that to type about the Cubs?)
