per Barstool sports, so now BRick and JORR can have a defined target of someone that has said the Cubs are going to be a World Series Champ and they can spend the next couple seasons posting 'What have they won?" and ________ is a ML flop.

Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat
Cubs are building a Championship team

I just think it is interesting that so few here expect them to win a World Series.

Promises Low, deliveries high.

The last 3-5 years, they have promised low and delivered even lower.

Hard to expect something that hasnt happened in 107 years, isnt it?

The optimism seems to hit a brick wall when you get there though.

The Sox have delivered even lower than that the last two seasons.

A key to this season is if Baez can cut down on the strikeouts.

Right now,the Cubs have 2 huge holes at 2nd and 3rd.

Also,on the days Lester pitches,only 7 hitters in the lineup because Ross sucks.

Without looking it up, I think they had the same record last year.

And worse the year before that. And that's for a team that was actually trying to win baseball games.

Wrong.

Cubs:
2014: 73-89
2013: 66-96
Total: 139-185

White Sox:
2014: 73-89
2013: 63-99
Total: 136-188

139 > 136

I EXPECT the Cubs to be in a NL Champ series in the next 3 years.

I expect the Cubs and Pirates to be slugging it out for the division as the Reds continue to age and the Cards continue to ignore proper training preparation and the worst medical staff in sports headed by Dr. Boombatz.

The Brewers? Last place, thank you very much.

I can't believe the pressure the Cubs management has put on these kids to win it all in 2-3 years.I remember a team of veterans and young players won in 2005 and haven't been back in 9 years with only 1 playoff appearance . Let these kids play!
