Show Cubbie Nation some mercy good dolphin. Yeah, you won, and they know it, but it may be time to let them off the hook.

GD....I would venture to guess that not many of "us guys" share a lot of the same viewpoints of the crap you heard.

This is your "Bombs strapped to babies" joke


Doesnt matter how many times you post it, it's just not that good.

I understand that good dolphin makes you mad but don't take it out on me.

I dont think what Laurence said is crazy. Considering where they've been, things are better and it looks like the organization is at least acquiring young talent. That's a positive.


Dont hold WGN callers and some asshole who thinks he can project prospects 7 years down the road against Cub fans

But I am out there drowning in my own flop sweat and I heard it on three different shows from people who are designated, at least by the payment for their opinions, as experts. It's difficult to call that some rogue group.

I guess the appropriate term, if he insisted on using a medical analogy, is that the Cubs have stabilized. They are no longer getting worse.

I know Joe Sheahan said "pay no attention to their record this year...or next year for that matter", but to step out and say a team is healthy, you have to be doing something more at the MLB level.

I know Joe Sheahan said "pay no attention to their record this year...or next year for that matter",

and I hate to open this can of worms but both Sheahan and the WGN guys pretty much said that the moves they make must be good moves because Theo is making them

I don't want to get into the whole Theo worship thing as it is a topic all its own but this is All Star break radio with a team 9 games under. That is usually the recipe for angry radio.

I don't think Theo is a con man.

But his ALS is as impressive as Bernstein's.

He's got fans who by all rights should be irate as docile as kittens. That's a con man.

Here we go

Cub fans are the first fan base in history to go through a rebuild

Not when there are no expectations of success.


People have given the new regime two years of not expecting any success. I suspect that starts to turn next year.

No.

But you know as well as I do that there is a segment of the fandom as well as media that will believe anything the Cubs do as smart simply because Theo is the one doing it.

I think fans are already conditioned for bad again next year. Anything approaching .500 will be met with cries for GM of the year.

There are many elephants in the room but the most glaring is that they are going to have to spend big on free agent pitching even if all these prospects hit by 2015, and Theo has not been very good in that area of over the past half decade of his career.

Yup, and they are the loudest. Sucks.

Here we go

Meanwhile, the Sox have no future even with a pitching staff filled with 1-4 spot starters and a closer all under 30 years of age and under team control for several years.

What?

You're counting on Santiago and Quintana to pitch you to the playoffs?
