They might eke into a playoff spot sometime in the next 5 years but another NLCS is a long ways away I think.

Mully is the best talking about Theo. He actually gets near tears spewing out his praise. Wonder what the most hosts have on-air cried in one day at the Score? Mully Theo, Speigel sensitive guy, Goff & Larry their perceived injustice schtick?

Definitely Goff.

Not even close, playa

Take a half dose the next time.

i wish the bears would hire him it couldnt get worse

Of what?

I’m generally not a half dose type of guy

I dent no dat.

M&H talking about Theo staying or going. Improbability of total rebuild. Gordon W joins them and they talk about Theo's options if he leaves. GW brings up the presidency jokingly. Saying "there may be an opening in one of the parties." Mocking the President's illness, and sounding like he's hoping for bad news. Gutless M&H are silent. The Score is a horrible mess.

What’s wrong with joking about the president’s illness? He himself doesn’t think it’s a big deal and he rips on people for all kinds of unfortunate circumstances.

1 more year of fucking around with this core before t hff e actual rebuild begins

I hope Trumpy Bear drowns in his own lungs' fluids.

That has to be a disappointing post to make.

Making the playoffs 5 out of 6 years is getting multiple bites at the apple. They were just god awful the last 3 of them.

It is true that multiple bites at the apple is one good thing he said and came true. Having all the buildup and hype that isn’t really Theo’s fault is what would make it disappointing if it were me. And if I bought into it.

Isn't the most likely scenario that Theo leaves and Jed and the others in place stay and take over?

I assumed that is the way Theo set it up. I do not presume Ricketts keeps it that way. The ironic thing for Bernsie is all that will be left after Theo is gone is Crane Kenny.

gleyber torres with equal amount of hits (4) just from game 1 of yankees current series with the rays than j. baez has the past 4 cubs playoff series, 48 plate appearances and 4 hits.

torres for chapman, fair trade, but now cubs don't have chapman - blew money on kimbrel. traded soler for montgomery. cubs don't have either anymore - while soler led AL in homers 2 years ago. eloy and cease for quintana?

you're supposed to know your own talent. i believe cubs pulled trigger on quintana trade because they overrated projections on almora/schwarber/haywood.

i also have a problem with loudmouth rizzo. he can't wait for an opponent to get on first so he can start chatting. rizzo famously chokes up, so, i do expect a higher average with slightly lower power. he's not hitting for average nor power.

just not working out at all after 2016...time for a new face.

so this board just gonna be slow now?

Compared to when?

Well they won the whole thing in 16 and there was no reason not to believe the core would get better , not worse. He ended up betting on the wrong guys but its a bet most wouldve done at the time .

you're right, the 'core' has let him down and maybe he didn't know addison russell had an iq of 57...but all of his trades have gone to shit and his biggest field player free agent signing is haywood.

he put all his eggs in the wrong basket.

Epstein gets a solid B plus from me, He got us Hendricks and Jake. He whiffed on all the FAs and traded away great players like Lastella and Lamehieu for dogshit.

_________________

I think great is a little strong for LaStella but agree with the overall point for sure.

Also traded for Rizzo

Lester and Darvish are not whiffs

i give theo a c+

Bernstein's job security is what he should be crying about.

Theo was his last link to relevance.

Spot on.

Lets not act like the guy didn't bring a fucking World Championship to the most sorry ass organization in the history of sports.

For that alone, he gets a mic-drop A+.

That's true, I wanted Sherzer though. Darvish is okay.
