Jack Parkman 1,527 Report post Posted April 2 (edited) Something that would make the 2019 baseball easier to stomach is a complete implosion by the Cubs, that results in them cleaning house. It would be high comedy. Theo is fucking up, and it is simultaneously hilarious and wonderful. Couldn't happen to a better fanbase, lol. Eloy settling down and winning ROY would be great to stick it up their asses. Edited April 2 by Jack Parkman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This happened in Boston too. Good run and then a complete collapse led by horrible free agent signings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember how he messed everything up in Boston by signing Crawford, Gonzalez and others. Those guys are incredibly lucky they got bailed out of those contracts by the Dodgers. If LA wasn't stupid they never win in 2013 and probably don't last year either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

southsider2k5 1,909 Report post Posted April 5 I am not sure when distance from contention is included, that any team had a worse off season than the Cubs. With even a solid pen, this team would be a huge favorite, but now that they are cheap, the door to the NL Central was opened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sucks for Indians fans cause they have done so well developing talent but their owner is one of the few cheaper than Reinsdorf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LittleHurt05 313 Report post Posted April 5 Carl Edwards Jr is the perfect example of why you never project a bullpen more than 2 years ahead. You never know who will suddenly become unhittable and you never know who will go from unhittable to AAA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
