IST: Cubs @ Padres

Further evidence of why they are a second rate team.

Second rate team with a Ring. I'm good with that.

We've been through this SO many times. The 2005 White Sox caught lightning in a bottle with the entire staff pitching out of their minds at the same time for the entire playoff run. The odds of it happening again are literally 1 in a 1,000,000.

The White Sox are one of the most poorly run organizations in baseball. They've missed the playoffs 30 times in the 35 years Jerry Reinsdorf has owned the team. The fan base has endured catastrophic and sustained failure on a monumental level.

The Front Office sucks. The coaching staff sucks. The players suck. And the farm system sucks.

All in all, the White Sox are pure trash and one of the least enviable franchises in all of baseball.

And outside of getting lucky with the Jordan pick and finding Pippen as his running mate (Krause did a good job except at the end), the Bulls have been nothing to write home about. GarPax sucks as a GM.

Call us what you will, rather be a loser with a ring than a loser that is lovable.

Let's quit the tit for tat here ok?

The Cubs lost the loveable loser moniker years ago. Everyone expects to win.

The Cubs lost the loveable loser moniker years ago. Everyone expects to win.

Until they win, it's theirs.

 

[Parade_Rain]

Until they win, it's theirs.

The term was given them by the Cubs fans. The Cubs fans no longer accept losing. You aren't a Cubs fan. You don't understand the term.

Don't you all have a sign in the stadium or that can be seen from the stadium showing the last time? The moniker is still valid until a WS is won.

Winning one WS in 99 years is not an accomplishment to take pride in. While I understand that the Cubs have won none in that time frame, winning one isn't an accomplishment.

Also, I take joy in the fact that I know my owner, VP of baseball operations, and GM are all on the same page of the direction of both the major league team and the farm system where as the Sox have no clue what they want to do. It's only going to be a matter of time before the Sox run Hahn out (if he doesn't leave on his own) and then they just keep promoting guys up the chain.

 

[cubsmann]

You have to start somewhere bro. **** I think the Cubs of my adult life have been pretty good. I'm talking between 98 and 2016. They have won more than they have lost and were six fucking outs from the pennant in 2003. If they keep playing like they have been they're going to kill everyone. Its like walking into a buzzsaw. The Cubs have Fowler, Bryant, Rizzo, Zobrist, Russell coming up 1-6. Its lights out with how hot these guys have all been. The cubs are hitting like .300 since the break. Its insane how good the pitching has been with dominant hitting.

 

[cubsmann]

Too bad La Stella can't get his shit together. Were going to need his bat. The guy has an OPS of 1.207 since the break in 14 games. He's hitting the ball and has 7 hits in 14 trips to the bat which is good for a .500 BA and an OBP of .632. The guys is on base 65% of the times he goes up to bat. That'e pretty fucking awesome in 14 games which is a small sample. But the guy has been this good for awhile for years but I honestly think he has small mans disease. This is not a joke. Im dead fucking serious. The dude is like 5'8'' and 140. He's small as shit and I outweigh his ass by 100 lbs of muscle and like 8''.

Isn't it strange how everyone on the internet is 6'5" and 250lbs of rock-hard muscle? I had no idea Brian Urlachers were such a banality.

They were the epitome of "catching lightning in a bottle" in 2005. Since 1917, other than 2005....they have never won a playoff series. None before 2005, none after. And unless they finally decide to put an end to the yearly patchwork and bite the bullet for a few years of rebuilding, nothing is gonna change.

Idiot talk

Block him like I did, old man. You'll find yourself much more at ease here. Weird coming from me? Not really. I have fun giving you a hard time....he's just a moron and not worth the energy.

Yea, well Im lil Joe C. Three foot nine with a ten foot dick.

You have a future in porn, my friend.

 

[brett05]

I don't think many of you know what "catching lightning in a bottle" really means here. It's when a player has one good year among some really bad seasons. That's not the 2005 Sox.

I'm 5'7 and 310 pounds. I've lived in my mom's basement since the late 70's. My muffin top dwarfs many "tiny homes" as seen on HGTV. I watch every Bears and Cubs game on my 27" Low Def Zenith TV. My diet consists of ham n' cheese Hot Pockets, tater tots, and Faygo Root Beer Cola.
