No one said it is awesome we suck. I knew when they hired Theo that this was coming. This was a GROUND UP rebuild. You can't do that in a couple years. The first wave of prospects are coming up the next couple years. That is when you want to see your team improving.
This is always the fall back. Don't talk about how great it is that you suck this year and how much better it is then winning and then go back to something like this. Your posts clearly indicate that the Cubs are having a better season than the Sox, even though the Sox are having a better season to date.
You think it is great that the Cubs are terrible right now. You are going as far as bashing another GM for improving the team in one year and not following the same plan of not even coming close to being competitive. Don't turn off your meatball switch. Just own it.
I just hope the catcher from Indiana was worth a year of terrible baseball by your favorite team. I'm sure he is a franchise changing player and it will be worth spending a year of your life watching a team lose so they could get him.
Hold on David Copperfield. I never said half this shit you are talking about.
Never said it is great they are terrible. I said, I don't care what they do the first few years of a rebuild. I care when the prospects start coming up.
I said Hahn is putting the carrot on the stick and you are the jackasses believing this team can contend. More power to him if it works. You're not going to win championships with guys like Eaton,Davidson and A.Garcia. Abreau was a good signing, but he is a veteran not a young rookie.
Untill the prospects come up I don't care if they lose. They sure as hell are not going to win the World Series if they picked up a bunch of place holders like the sox did last offseason (-Abreu) Cubs tried to sign Taneoka SP and I think they put in a bid for Abreu. The international market is where I want them to spend on FA at this point, not pick up some 30 yr old declining player who will handcuff the team when they are ready to contend.
This is the problem. Everyone falls back to "I didn't specifically say that!".
Sorry, it's obvious what you are saying. The Sox, even when having a significantly better season, aren't doing nearly as good of a job as the Cubs. You want the Cubs to lose every game because that will somehow translate to winning championships at a far higher rate than simply wanting to improve your team every year.
Don't be so antagonistic about the Sox when your team is going through another terrible season with the promise that one day it will work out. In 3 years, when the Cubs are holding the World Series trophy, then talk. Now, just sit there in silence and hope that the catcher you just drafted in the first round was worth a year of terrible baseball.
