Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic - HAPPY BILLY BEANE IS AN IDIOT DAY

Textbook example to never deal from desperation. He could no longer handle being Billy Beane, building of regular season division champions after Kenny Williams beat him to a World Championship.

What year was that world championship, by the way?

A decade ago. Youtube was a start-up that no one had heard of. We all had flip phones and Nokias. Might as well have been a lifetime ago.

I don't have the time to try to look it up, but I swear that somebody on this board said that Addison Russell couldn't be any good because Billy Beane would never make a mistake like trading him away.
Can anyone help me out by figuring out who the genius was that stated this?

He is a Vikings and Cubs fan. No wonder he has such high standards on how often you should win a championship.

This is a safe place, IMU. No fault is issued. No retribution taken. No guilt necessary. We see who you are and unconditionally love you for your flawed beauty

Well the last time the Cubs won one you couldn't get the deluxe cat back with glasspacks on the Model T.

And because of this, I don't talk about the 1908 World Series championship.

If you haven't won a Word Series in the last decade, you're failing. Cubs are failing. White Sox are failing. A bunch of teams are failing. Let's fast forward in time...the Cubs win the World Series. This is probably 2016, but for the sake of the argument the year does not matter. 10 years from that year, you will not hear me mentioning "2016." Because I don't give a fuck about 2016's World Series in 2019 or 2024.

The Hawks won the Stanley Cup twice in the last 5 years. They haven't won it in almost two years. If they don't win this year, they've failed. "I'll always have 2010 and 2013" means nothing in 2015.

Just win, baby.

That is dumb. I have plenty of fond memories prior to 2005 in my life. In 30 years, I'll still remember those fondly along with 2005.

It's a shame when people can't enjoy the good things in life and are only worried about the present. IMU, I pity you. It sounds like even a World Series championship for the Cubs will only bring you momentary joy. By April of the next year, you won't even care it even happened!

If you won a world series and you think you are smarter than that guy, why does it continue to matter?
