How dumb are you? The Cubs have no expectations of similar success to what Theo did in Boston. They just mention it all the time and say things like how he is doing the exact same thing he did in Boston.

And that was the post RFDC challenged Frank about. Frank won! RFDC crawled under his trailer.

Part of that is ownership, but part of it is the front office too.

Share with all of us one person who has said anythign even close to this

That seems a little extreme

Well then I was wrong and I take it all back

Ill admit I expected a good team after a few years. Competing (i e always winning 84+)

I dont think thats crazy. But this staryed with a comparison to Rozner and Bernsteins worship. I dont think anyone here compares to that.

Before the season started in Theo's 1st year,I criticised the Cubs for having poor timing with a "rebuild" because it coincided with the Majors adding one more WC team.

Ah yes. Sox fans can't talk about the ancient history that is 2005 without hearing how long ago that was, then Cubs fans go and bring up an incident from 2002.

Don't mind jimmy. He's just trying to get back on the good side of Cubbie Nation.

Please point out where I said the CUBS would win multiple World Series? Thanks.


So the expectation of implementing "a plan that has proven success of winning multiple World Series" was not winning multiple World Series?

Correct. it's very hard to win the World Series as witnessed by the 100+ year absence of a trophy on the North Side. But having the architects that produced 2 World Series and whose players were essential to winning 3rd give the Cubs a decent chance to win one. That's all I need.

But I am wrong in my original statement. Andy "Honk Honk" McF-A-I-L didn't work out. You got me Frank!

RPB was right.

Reading in context of what is being said is so hard.

Frank says there was a group of people who thought Theo was going to have the team in the WS 4 out of 5 years.

RPB challenges that.

Frank responds by saying he was sure there was one person that said that.

I asked him to share with me one person that said anything close to that.

Frank quotes a bunch of people that said nothing about WS 4 out of 5 years.

Sox fans all rally around him and proclaim victory.

I should have quoted only the 4 out of 5 statement. That was a mistake on my part, but if you read the exchange all together I thought it seemed clear what I was asking for. RPB understood it.

But yes Frank is right. He is the man.

Fucking, Christ.

Frank has all the brittle Cubs fans on the defensive. He showed the proof that he was right and they still can't admit defeat.

So you took Frank's statement literally?

Given I don't think there has ever been a team in the World Series 4 out of 5 years I think that is unfair. Frank even clarified right after that.

Just accept the loss and move on. I'm sure you'll get Frank one day.

:lol: Looks like the Yankees have done it a few times. Why didn't the Cubs hire the Yankees guy instead? Then Kirkwood could be happy they are implementing that exact plan!
