They might have taken him off the air because of his prickly old man "Not doing it the right way" thoughts and he doesnt understand the plan.

I understand 3 years of major sucking for hope for the future. I still feel that was not needed!!

Yes, we know you would be the one guy listening to Murph gripe about the path that Theo took, while Fred sits in the corner, but lets turn back the clock to 2011 Jimmy P.

Soto, Pena, Barney, Castro, Ramirez, Soriano, Byrd and Fukudome is what your lineup was.

Let me note, you have Colvin and DJ Lemahieu on that roster.

Garza, Shark, Demp,Z, Wells....is the basis of yout staff,

.....with that, you now have 4 years to become a World Series favorite.

Please give me your plan JPasta.

I have no problem unloading players at the All-Star break if your team sucks. The problem is you set your team up to suck in April. My plan would also be to mix youth with veterans but I would be trying to win every year. I would be looking for a lot of OBP types with a few power guys mixed in. The pitching would be one ace and back fill with Jason Hammel-types and hopefully give some young arms a look. Something that hopefully could be accomplished with smart scouting and some computer/stat guys without ripping it all down on purpose.

You just gave me the same plan for the past 100 years?

yeah but this time doesn't "wait til next year" actually MEAN SOMETHING unlike the previous 99+ years? =D

Welcome aboard...and get both feet in the damn water....instead of this bullshit of telling everyone you are in, so if things dont go well, you can say "I was never fully in"

I'm pretty sure this is the same schedule he's had since joining AM1000. Baseball season with a little fall overlap. Then see him again in April.

huh? what are you talking about? "ARE YOU IN OR OUT?" [picture of hanging ALOU/SOSA/MCGRIFF jerseys] was the slogan for the 2004 cubs and we all know how that turned out.

i'm merely a keen observer of the passing scene and, dare i say, a baseball fan. there happens to be an interesting team in my local metropolis here who seems poised to provide some meta/entertainment for years to come. as such i'm saying "hey if i was the cubs i'd do [this], then maybe you can do [that] and you'll be able to [something something and trade for danny salazar]" and i'm not necessarily taking up a blood oath with the cubs as part of the formal application for proper fandom; i'm just shooting the shit and pulling for the most meta/entertainment i can get out of a local baseball team over the next [however many] years.

i know that getting into baseball and becoming an expos fan has set me up to be in a situation here where ppl want me to see the cubs doing well and come crawling back to cubs fandom so they can puff out their chests and be like "WE WERE ALWAYS RIGHT! YOU WERE A FOOL TO LEAVE US!" --- but i can tell you that i honestly don't have that gut-emotional-investment to where i'm wanting/needing them to do well to satisfy me. the closest i came this year was letting loose a "YES!" when uhhh.... fuck was it fowler who hit that HR in st louis? it was one of those early/first-inning go-ahead/ish HRs that got a raw gut reaction, but i think that was mostly a combination of childhood cub-fandom and a general desire to see the cardinals take it up the giggy.

after that HR i was just kind of watching those games because it was the thing to do, and it really didn't hurt me or bother me when the mets took em out to the woodshed in the NLCS. now if i start thinking "oh fuck" during a future trip to the woodshed then i think you've got me on the fandom angle and i'll be sure to take my 20 lashings in the form of "LOL YOU BANDWAGONER" posts here =D

TLDR = none of ^^^that^^^ matters since everyone just assumes i'm too proud to admit that i'm a closet cubs bandwagoner anyways. fortunately i'm not above posting for academic reasons.

i can honestly tell you that i give way more of a shit about my 12-keeper fantasy team way way WAAAAYYYYYYY more than the chicago cubs. that's my actual team, the cubs are just like seeing an old childhood crush on TV doing well and you're thinking "hey it'd be cool if they won..... that is if i dont mind the apocalypse being down one seal"
