Are you saying the Cubs aren't talented? Still, this is a far different point than simply saying "2016 happened" like it somehow makes him forever a good manager because of it.

So, why did you just say "2016 happened" if you wanted to talk about his whole time with the Cubs?

Could it be that you are backtracking because you used to mock Sox fans for thinking that 2005 was all that mattered?

This guy gets it. Instant sports radio turnoff is an hour long discussion of managerial moves. It's Maddons fault they managed one run off that stiff Wainwright yesterday.

You can be a talented team and not win. MANY examples of this across all sports. Are the Cubs AS talented as Dodgers or the Astros? No, and that is on Theo.



It's not like he has a sub .500 W/L% Then your argument would make sense. He is up there with the best managers of all time. Winning in 2016 was not a fluke for Maddon. He is a proven winner.




JORR said what has Maddon done since he joined the Cubs. I pointed out 2016 is a pretty good achievement since joining the Cubs.

I mocked Sox fans for 2005 10 yrs later typing 2005. Don't believe you will see any post of me mocking the White Sox in 2006-2015. Maybe one or two toward the '15 year Hard to remember they have sucked for so long, it all becomes a blurr of suckness.

and he certainly did his best to make 2016 NOT happen. the team won in spite of his greatness

Clearly you are just another idiot Cubs fan who pretends not to troll or hate on the Sox. Don't get me wrong, its perfectly fine to be a Sox hater and a troll. Don't lie about it and deny it.

I get that point of view. But in the end 2016!

How it happened does not matter. IT DID HAPPEN! You think they get to the World Series with try hard Ricky as manager?

Where is the 2005 reference Rick was posting about? And I was correct about Reinsdorf. No trolling.

Holy shit. You literally said that we would not find any post of yours mocking the White Sox for the ten year stretch after they won the WS.

You have 390 posts in the Sox section, of which 245 were made before January 2016.

You are absolutely a troll. A bad troll. A very, very stupid troll. At least when dolphin and IMU troll there is some substance behind it at times.

_________________

Of course you wouldn't mock the 2005 reference until 2016. That would be monumentally stupid given the last time the Cubs won the World Series.

Sox just got done playing the Mets. Tuesday's game went 12 innings, Sox scored two runs. Wednesday's game went 9 innings, Sox scored two runs...one of which was basically a meaningless HR in the bottom of the 9th.

What does Raw Deal Ricky do on Thursday? Trots the exact same first five guys in the lineup out there. Sox get shut out.

I know he can only play who is on the roster, and Moncada is out of commission with a hamstring, but goddam can he even mix things up just a little bit? I know MANY hitters are struggling right now, but what would have been wrong with batting Engel 2nd, Eloy 3rd, Abreu 6th, Timmy 5th? Anything. Something to try and jump start a little bit of offense here and there. AJ Reed is closer to hitting .100 than he is .200, yet he was the DH and cleanup guy for every game in the series. You bat this clown but couldn't find at bats for Zach Collins? smfh.

Ricky isn't much of a manager, but this team is pretty light on talent.

I hate to say this but it looks like these guys have packed it in. Talk about your entire batting order in a major slump. The injuries definitely hurt and the holes in the order are there. And the guys to fill those holes are weak 3A type guys. They talk about the dog days of summer. Watching McCann getting beat up behind the plate and toughing it out without a guy in the dugout to spell him is sad.

Maddons had 4 or 5 x as many post season games.

In fairness to Theo, it's more than buying low on veteran talent. It seemed like every highly touted young player they brought in, with the exception of Alcantara, turned into at least a reasonable major leaguer. That's a better record than most organizations can claim.
