I'm in the same boat.

Dan Bernstein setting suckas straight. Cubs are fine.

I'm feel much better now.

Caller Marty! My guy!

Great call. Which one of you is Marty?

I tuned in and the call was over. How did it end? Did Dan try and give him the bum's rush?

Well that context-free list of team names sure refuted Marty's point!

Like the NFL, this is a copycat board and I am the guy starting all the trends.

Yeah, the Cubs should be like the Nationals, intentionally shooting themselves in the foot in their championship window and then having a crappy season afterward.

Awesome! WCUB in full effect. li'l danny parroting Theo's idiotic company line that "the smartest thing we did was not put a timetable on it". Yeah, admitting that you're gonna suck indefinitely is sheer genius.

And suddenly ancillary crap like mascots don't mean anything. I remember entire shows where "Go, Cubs, Go" was evidence of "the wrong way".

Finally, Tampa Bay is a lot closer to the White Sox than the Yankees or Red Sox. Is that what Theo is aspiring to?

These guys are right! Baez and Bryant get you closer to a championship than Pujols and Hamilton.

Marty definitely held his own. They do not like that. "Why do you believe the Cubs will work?" Da says Cause I believe it pretty much.

I also loved when Marty threw at them that other teams are also getting goo minor leaguers. Dan says oh no they're not.

IF all the prospects come up and are all stars things will be fine!!

IF they get some big TV deal, things will be fine!!

IF Castro and Rizzo prove that last year was a fluke, things will be fine!!

This team is fucked.



The above post is the last negative thoughts I will have until the Cubs are mathmatically eliminated in late May.

Yeah, really. All these guys did for years was care about the Cubs' ancillary crap.

"Just one team." I wonder who he thinks that is. The Cardinals are a team they have to beat and they definitely have a better minor league system.

"You have to remember that the Tribune Company squeezed every penny."

And Debt Boy here does...what, exactly? And if squeezing every penny is bad, why is Monetizing Everything good?

You mean wild card game. This is the year.

Wow, the Theo lovefest has forced Dan into a bad corner. I cant wait for the show where he says he never thought Theo's plan would work. Or "I thought it would work and it didnt. WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT I THINK!!!!!"
