This weekend was the last 3 games I cared if the Sox won. Rest of the year, especially playoffs, will be hoping anyone but the Cubs win the WS.

For once I actually agree with you.

Blue jays might be unstoppable

This team sucks. It's a shame. They've got a ways to go and sometimes ya gotta wonder can they get it done. I can't do the hiring or firing so I have to keep faith.

You hear about these prospects teams have had in the last 5-8 years- Trout, Bryant, Hosmer, McCutchen, deGrom- yet none of them are ever with the Sox. They continuously have absolutely no farm system. Hawk made a comment yesterday that the Cubs should have great prospects since they've stunk for so long. Seriously? The Sox have stunk almost every year since 2006 and they have jack s*** in Charlotte. And please, don't give me that Erik Johnson, Micah Johnson, Tim Anderson garbage because those are 3 guys who will never be anything significant for this team.

They'll win one by 2018. Guaranteed.

Agree. Just wait until they sign David Price this winter.

I thought the same thing in '03 when they got so close and had 2 studs on the mound.

Cubs don't stand a chance this year.

I will hold you to your prediction.

I don't see them beating the Royals. But then again, I also think the Giants are going to repeat, so....

They'll win one by 2018. Guaranteed.

Nah. They're still the Cubs.

Agree. Just wait until they sign David Price this winter.

Let em. Big ticket FAs don't guarantee s***.

Blue jays might be unstoppable

 

To help me sleep easier at night, I picture this path for the Cubs to not win the WS:

 

- Pirates in WC game

- Cardinals NLDS

- Dodgers NLCS

- Blue Jays or Royals WS

 

Those are some legit teams

Cubs don't stand a chance this year.

 

I hope you're right, but why not? Two aces, a great bullpen and a much improved offense since Schwarber got included. I still think they should have been more aggressive at the deadline to add a top pitcher to go along with Arrieta and Lester.

Nah. They're still the Cubs.

Exactly. They haven't won s*** in over 100 years.

They haven't been very impressive tonight, that's for sure.

You hold on to that.

f*** it. Keep sucking white sox. We'll get good players and start winning soon. All they s***ty teams are back.

Nah. They're still the Cubs.

I will root against them 100% always.

Then how can you explain the 2012 Sox defense being so focused for the first five months?

Two words: Donnie Veal

You hold on to that.

I don't need to. It's a fact.

Let em. Big ticket FAs don't guarantee s***.

I didn't say Price would be THE reason, but it would mean 3 aces and 3 great hitters (Schwarber, Rizzo, Bryant).

Joe West just called a pitch a foot outside a strike.

I don't need to. It's a fact.

 

And none of those years have a thing to do with the Cubs now and into the future. Their FO and scouting are elite.

Hawk is trying not to go off on West

I know but it still doesn't mean it'll happen. f*** the Nats spent $200 million in Max and aren't setting the world on fire.

that 2nd strike to Melky was a ball in the top of the inning
