I never said I read it on this particular board

So, take your nonsense to where you read it. What's posted on CSFMB is all that's important.

Kyle Hendricks is the next Greg Maddux. Maddux also gave up ER in some starts against top offenses.

You may continue on your present course.

When's the last time the Cubs, or any team for that matter, got outscored by 25 runs in a series?

_________________

Yeah, that was posted pretty quickly after the game...or was it during?

Ill take it.

I prefer getting on base as opposed to making outs

Maybe those people were just comparing styles? Non strikeout pitcher?

I know it happened to the White Sox when the bullpen alone gave up (almost) 25 runs in two games against the Twins.

Reality is really gonna sting.

Agreed

Ya'll some fucking morons.

First of all. Shut the fuck up

Secondly, I didnt say who would feel that sting

Baez=Sheffield
Alcantara=Zobrist
Soler=Clemente
Kris Bryant=Mike Schmidt
Schwarber=Piazza
Almora=Adam Jones
2015 1st round pick = HOF

This is all conservatively speaking as I want to be realistic. They'll all likely be far superior.

Nor did I specify whom the ya'll was. So I reject your command of me to be silent and instead implore you to take the action instead.

Kinda bearish on Almora huh?

Me too.

Also
Arrieta = Halladay

If Hendricks ends up having as good of a career as Jon Garland did, ya'll should dance in the streets.

_________________

No. Garland was an average pitcher. You don't hope any player becomes average.

I don't think Cubs fans would be upset...but they certainly would not be dancing, or should they.

Don't settle.

The funny part is none of you are really self parodying, it's what Cubs fans generally believe and seems completely realistic until there are specific comparisons made.

Albert Almora is also not a real person. He doesn't exist, Theo and Hoyer made him up to see how well they could hype a complete piece of fiction. It makes sense, if you can trick people into believing Albert Almora even exists you can convince them Javier Baez and Arismendy Alcantara are major league ballplayers (they, obviously, are very bad).

Youre the worst kind of fan we have here. Flat out lying and making shit up to try and justify your crazy notions about a rival team's fanbase

@LenKasper: Hate to compare Kyle Hendricks to Greg Maddux, but I am going to. Way he works reminds me of no other...

The world has lost its goddamn mind.

Len pretty much embarrasses himself on a daily basis. He was throwing out some bs the other day that Jackson is a viable prospect for the closer role next year. The gymnastics he does to be in management's good graces obliterates his credibility. I fully believe The(o) Plan includes issuing talking points for any public discussion. It's either that or they have worse groupthink than JR and his crew of weirdos.

His performance in the 1st inning of games is like no other pitcher I've ever seen.

Jackson's stats say it's just not possible for him to be this bad again.

Bump.
