shipps Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 07:16 PM) Unfortunately, it looks like you'll have to get used to it. The Cubs looked stacked for a while. Yeah I have accepted this already. Hopefully the Sox will be able to recharge and adjust so next year they can have more success and silence some of the noise. In my heart of hearts I would still be happy for Cubs fans if they won a WS though. It's a great feeling that every baseball fan should experience at least once.

RockRaines Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 They are fun as hell to watch. If you don't admit that you are blind. The middle of their order is enviable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpd9189 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 06:52 PM) If Rodon is on the table, the Cubs take him over Schwarber. And I'll take the potential of an ace lefty over a DH, no matter how good. Maybe, maybe not. They took Bryant over Gray in 2013 when Appel/Gray were the consensus top 2 picks. The FO and scouting department over there has done quite a nice job the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 05:27 PM) I am kinda of already tired of being trolled by Cubs fans at work and on FB. Like when I look through my timeline and they are saying WHERE ARE U SUX FANS NOW? GO 2005!........Yes it is juvenile and I should be above that but damn I have to really stop myself from responding and feeding into it. LOL Some "journalist" on Twitter, with 123 followers, a few days ago compared the Cubs attendance to the Sox game, since they were playing at the same time. It was so stupid since one team is in a race and the other isn't and was obvious troll bait. I had never even heard of the guy. As much as I don't care about the Cubs, stuff like that is why I hope they fail. Guess he writes for ChicagoNow. Some Cubs fans just can't enjoy their run, they have to troll other fans.

That was better than Rongey trying to troll Lester's inability to hold runners when the Cubs are in the midst of an insane run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 01:59 PM) Schwarber's going to end up winning ROY over Bryant and Joc. Joc is looking more and more like Jeff Francouer. Remember how he was going to be a superstar after his early success. Joc's swing is super long. He looks worse then almost any player I've ever seen at the plate during a 2 month stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
