Gordan Beckham was gonna be a sure fire HoF'er...just give him some time to work on that swing and "mature."

AHAHAHAH, oh brother.

Great pitching, awesome bullpen, hit for power, above average defense.

1st place wire to wire.

Man, it just kills you, doesn't it?

Um, I'm a Sox who likes to watch fun baseball. I was at WS game 2. You can see me and my Dad on the DVD when Pods is rounding 3rd.

Am I not allowed to think the Theo model is the way to go?

Not in Western culture. The onus is on the person communicating a thought, not the one receiving it. Maybe he should learn how to type a question properly.

In 312 language that is a clearly worded masterpiece. How much clearer do you want it JORR?

Not really. Not more than any other team. And they were the best team in baseball for a large part of 2006. The pitching just got ragged at the end from all those extra innings. It's not easy to win once, let alone repeat.


The Cubs are running up against teams with serious injuries. That's luck too, isn't it?

I'll take it anyway I can get it.

Of course. You've gotta have some luck.

Yes.

But, I feel like 2005 had a "how the hell is this happening?" vibe, especially in the playoffs. That's how I remember it anyway. Balls through the wickets, drop 3rd K...

Geoff fucking Blum.

Oh, sure, as a matter of procedure. But we're talking 312 here. You telling me his English isn't impeccable and completely impossible to misinterpret?

Many Cubs fans have said similar things though.

It's more about the shock that the team you root for is finally winning it all.

since 2016....bad bad bad

time to start thinking about launching this guy

heyward
darvish (over jake)
chatwood
morrow
quintana trade
still no drafted pitching

dirtiest move is shifting focus away from his failures and pinning the spotlight towards maddon. what a snake

it essentially mirrors what happened in boston, where he was run out of town in a gorilla suit

There was a myth forwarded by apologists that John Henry MADE him spend bad money on free agents

Theo is great at building up a team from zero. Just not very good when he needs to add on to a championship team. It is weird how he can be great at the hard part and suck at what you would think would be easy.

He should have been saving up for Harper by not signing Darvish/Chatwood and trading a couple "2nd core" guys after 2016 while they still had value. Instead he has lost most of the value the "2nd Core" guys and lost out on Harper by signing Heyward to that awful deal. It pains me to see Heyward in RF, when it could have been Harper or at the very least Eloy.

Agreed. At least we can look at BOS and have hope for the future.

The thing is that this is the way it is supposed to work. A person in charge has about a 10 year lifespan. Theo said it himself. They did it according to the plan and you simply have to hope you got as many WS wins as possible. So far one looks like not enough to satisfy fans of the process.
