Two pretenders going at it. Should be fun.

Cubs have been slaying the best in baseball, Nardi...they are Snappin necks and cashin checks...these aren't the Tigers and O's of the world.

Hard to predict what will happen

A split would be nice. Anything more would be great

Yeah, I don't really care. I'm fine with the Cubs beating up the puffy chested smoke and mirrors Giants.

Hey Bill James, the Cubs played the Tigers less than 3 weeks ago.

As a matter of fact, the Cubs have actually bum slayed for the better part of the last 5 weeks. Leading up to the Padres series, here are the teams they played, along with their respective winning percentage;

Reds .453
Pirates .370
Cards .554
Nationals .434
Tigers .418
Pirates again

Two winning teams since the Dodgers in early may.
**Edit- excuse me, three winning teams. The Indians .556 beat the Cubs in both games of a two game series in Mid May.

Fucking genius.

_________________

Hey Tampax, in the past month the Cubs have swept two Titans in baseball the Doyers and the Padres, and also have won huge series against the Cards. Those are good baseball teams. Observation and Deduction...menstrauate on that.

They have.

They have also played the "Pirates and Nationals of the world" you fucking genius.

_________________

Nationals aren't great but aren't a bottom feeder AL Team. Speaking of bottom feeder, Cubbie on the Brain Franky, Cubbie on the Brain.

The Nationals are 23-30, last in the NL East, 4th worst record in the NL, 6th worst in all of MLB. They were 16-21 when they played the Cubs.

Fucking genius.

Why is "bumslaying" a bad thing?
You're beating teams you're supposed to beat.
That's bad?

Thanks!

It's good. Especially when you're a bum yourself. But I'm putting the cart before the horse. Come Jul 1, I won't be.

2021 against >.500, <.500
Cubs 14-9, 18-14
Sox 15-15, 18-7

they have 2 former Reds starters

Its not. You have to play the teams on the schedule, and you especially have to do well against your own division.

But when you say you team has been playing "baseball's best" when in reality you're playing mostly 4th and 5th place teams, you deserve to eat shit. Bob certainly eats a lot of it.

They swept the dodgers and San Diego.
They're beating the bums and also the contenders.
This team was projected for 78 wins. They, to date, are significantly ahead of expectations. What more could you ask for? Cmon.

There's no doubt that the Cubs had a really good month of May. This isn't so much bashing the Cubs as it is Bob's wanton stupidity, which seems to grow exponentially each week he is here as evidenced by the fact that he never replies with facts or data to me. He just yells feminine hygiene products like it's some sort of clever insult.

We'll disagree.

So you're saying that the Cubs didn't handle the cardinals, the dodgers, the Padres while also beating the teams they're supposed to beat?

Bob's initial post said "these arent the Tigers and O's," yet the Cubs recently played 3 series against teams worse than the Tigers and Os. And they played the Tigers too.

_________________

He said they've been playing good teams and beating them. He said they've been beating teams that are better than the Tigers and O's.

This is true.

They have been.

Stop being so worried about calling someone stupid man.

Frank is an angry little boy. He's got issues with many people (Seacrest) he wishes death on an annoying but harmless poster the other day. He isn't emotionally stable.

Well in his defense Seacrest sucks.
