I am sure MANY have wanted to slug him then as well as now.

Sir was throwing out the "regular season is the judge of the best team" stuff yesterday.

Like it or not, the playoffs are how we decide a champion and have for a century. The Mariners are not considered the best team of all time.

If you win a WS first,there's nothing to justify

I agree with him that the regular season is a better indicator of who the best team is. What he fails to mention is that it's a moot point because we judge the winner by a playoff system. It doesn't matter who the "best" team is. It matters who won.

11-1 in the playoffs and wire-to-wire is some kind of luck.

If you have a healthy Frank Thomas/Ordonez in 2004 there would have been another playoff run. Healthy Thomas in 2005, and that team is even greater. Dan is such a corporate bitch that he has to build in pre-excuses for the Cubs, while shitting on a departed 10-year radio partner that the Score did a terrible job promoting.

Dan knows that the Cubs are the only thing the once-entertaining station has. So this sackless bitch has to go scorched earth on anything that "tarnishes" the golden goose.

The "best team" changes throughout a season with regular season win total being almost as arbitrary as 11 post season wins in determining "best".

It's not really even worthy of conversation but it seems to be a hot topic with Score people this week

To win the WS, it seems that you need a few things.

Clutch hitting (Konerko, Dye)
Catch lightning in the bottle (jose contreras, Jenks)
Career year (Politte, Cotts, Garland)
Consistency (Buehrle)

Spot on.

He and DiCaro complained about the Chapman signing lessening the joy of certain Cubs' fans, but his slurpage almost makes me want to root for the Giants.

Yeah... think about how bad that makes the teams who are trying and still sock.

Was that factoid true that the Cubs only played 50 games against +.500 teams and the Red Sox played over 100? If so, that would be a concern.

Thank you, Frank, er, JORR.

The Cubs played teams that finished with W-L% of .500+ a total of 56 times, going .235/.320/.381 with a 97 OPS+ relative to how The League fared against above-.500 teams.

The Sawx played 103 games against teams with a .500 or better W-L%, going: .276/.341/.457 with a 123 OPS+ relative to The League in the same split.

For comparison, the '01 Mariners had splits against above-average teams more similar to the Sawx (.283/.356/.421, 114 OPS+), but played 32 fewer games against .500+ opponents.

They (the Cubs) are bum-slayers. Really, really good bum-slayers, mind you, but they make their bones slaying bums.

Wow JLN. If that is true. Wow.
