Four games in 3 days. Hopefully at least split.

Hendricks
Darvish
?? (probably Alzolay)
Mills

12 years of irrelevance and 10 good days make Sox fans feel like the 27 Yankees. Cute.

_________________

10 good days? They’ve been one of the best teams in baseball by every measure in August.

If Cubs fans are going to come in the Sox forum to shit talk a better team than of course some of us are gonna return the favor.

stop starting threads before the series starts.

We're still processing the current series.

_________________

They were 7-7 the first 15 days of August and have been hot the last ten games.

That doesn’t change my point. They have one of best SP, bullpens, and hitting in August. One of the top point differentials. They have a better record than the Cubs and beat their brains in.

You’ve had your time but this is clearly the tables being turned. But I guess good luck with the “it’s an aberration” theory

Leading the AL in HR's, slugging %, batting average, and run differential doesn't just come from a hot 10 days. That's just a line-up that fucking rakes.

Also the starting pitching has been great since the 1st time through.

Oh, making the playoffs is the only thing that makes your team relevant?

Than the Cubs haven't mattered in two years. I mean, if you want to claim its one year and hang your hat on a game 163 loss at Wrigley and a play in game loss the following night again at Wrigley, then go ahead.

Us Sox fans have out sights set higher.

The White Sox are better than the Cubs right now. It is simple. The White Sox also project very well going forward.

Everyone just needs to deal with it. Dumb shit meatball fans are the worst. Kill yourselves. DIAF. All that jazz.

Well said. We don't know what the future will bring for the White Sox, but there is nothing wrong with being optimistic at this time. The arrow is clearly pointing up for one team, and at best it's level for the other team if not pointing down.

It's not enough that I win. You must also lose.

Giants are the hottest team in the MLB right now. not the Wsox. not saying the WSox are bad, just the Giants have won 7 in a row.

And yeah, these meathead Sox fans are the worst. Like I had posted earlier, I like watching the WSox but their fans on here are unbearable. Especially Frank and FF and now we have to put regular reader into the same category. They dont need to come into cubs threads but constantly do.

They act like a guy who hasn't been laid in 20 years and then when a girl shows interest they think they're the hottest shit going. (I know from experience.)

------

back on the cubs topic - fuck these guys. i've seen this shit last 2 years. we all talk about playoffs, who's going into the rotation, etc.. but they fuck up down the stretch and there are no playoffs! I am guessing the same thing may occur this month.

last thread we were talking about utilizing Darvish for the first round but I am highly doubting we even get to the playoffs.

btw where's that fucker elmhurst steve? according to him this team sucking was all Joe Maddon's fault. where is that mutherfucker now? why is he not shitting on ross? fuck that guy!

I wanna say Reds sweep but more likely Reds take 3 of 4

Agreed.

Luckily looks like we avoid Sonny Gray.

Isn't that what your boyfriend said when he took your pants off?

Great news! SJW hero Jason Heyward and his Cubs career 184 million, .252 .329. 386 .715 returns to the lineup tonight.

Is that Marge Schott in the stands behind the plate?

Cubs on pace to strike out 18 times.

_________________

Cubs hit two warning track flies that are both caught. Can't have that happen in that ballpark.

I thought it was interesting that they had Caratini catch tonight given that Hendricks had struggled a little in his last few starts. Didn't matter, another poor start.

Still not over in that ballpark and with the Reds bullpen, but given the rain being likely to suppress the long ball it doesn't look good.

This team and their fucking strikeouts. Javy has one good game and is back to swinging out of his god damn shoes at anything within 15 feet of the plate. 11 k's through 6 innings. Terrible offensive baseball.

The White Sox are where the Cubs were in 2014. The Cubs are where the Bears were in 1988.

The Cubs only hope is that they get past an NL East team in the first round (Hendricks has to get back to form) and then play in Arlington in the bubble. Because if they have to play either the Dodgers or Padres in a traditional series they'll have no offense at all.
