MLB 2024 Off Season

Last-12-Exit

What they did 5 years ago, 2 years ago, or even last year is irrelevant. Seriously, half of last year's team is gone.

Amongst the Ani

Ok mister knows this team so well, tell me exactly who left? Without looking it up. I will give you Sandoval since it is obvious. Who else makes up this half of the team gone? There are a couple more but lets see what you know.

And of course a Cubs fan will say what happened in the past doesn't matter. 100 years says it does matter. Even a broken clock is right twice a day yet the Cubs always fuck it up.

Rumors are starting Giants may be trying to get Fowler from the Cubs to help with the Outfield injuries. Fowler can play CF at least at a average level so he can take over for Pagan. I don't know if the Cubs would be willing to do it but Fowler cleared waivers so he is eligible to be traded.

I'd just as soon they write off the season.....the leake deal already has a beltran V 2.0 feel to it....I think there are too many injuries to overcome.

Eat shit, haters! I thought everyone here ate, breathed, & slept whatever Eddie Vedder likes or dislikes, and he's a Cubs fan. So to you all!

I'm not a big fan of Corona beer, either.....or of Mudhoney.

That's what happens when you fuck with club house chemistry.

They should never have shut Strasburg down 2 years ago. Or 3. Whenever it was. Idk & Idc!

Giants got Marlon Byrd from Reds. They didn't give up shit for him so ok I guess.

Because they had a good chance in the playoffs if he was playing. They announced that he won't pitch in the playoffs. There were a lot of people confused by the decision. He ended up having Tommy John surgery anyway

pretty sweet homer! (Good thing they kept him in the minors for so long)

They are actually 3 games back in the loss column and the giants will be lucky to be within 7 games of the cubs after their next 5 series. They don't play a team under .500 for the next month.

And you say this with 100 years of proof on how the Cubbies can close a season out. 3 in 5 sucker. I would trust the Giants a hell of a lot more in these last 40 games than the lovable losers, emphasis on losers.

5 games back now.

Amongst the Ani

The last 4 weeks the Giants get the Rockies, Reds, Padres, A's, D-Backs and one 4 game set with the D*dgers. There is a 3 game set between the Cubs and Giants in San Fran with MadBum getting to picth this time. After that series if the Cubs can take it I will give them so credit. If they lose it and the Giants start that run while the Cubs get a lot of games with Pitt and STL then this is on like Pong.

Josh Donaldson for MVP and Prime Minister! I'll say it now as we are a 1/2 game back of the Yanks at this point. Division title, League title and World Series for the Jays....next year too, everyone but Price is locked up for next year.

Cubs 70-51
Giants 66-57

Cubs go 21-20 the rest of the way they finish 91-71

Giants would have to go 25-14 the rest of the way. In other words your boys have to play the next 39 games, 11 games over .500, for a tie.

Good Luck with that!

Amongst the Ani

25-14 is tough but do-able when you get to play the worst teams in baseball (Col, Oak and Cin). This Cubs series in SF is the test if they have a shot at the WC. The D*dgers suck right now so they are more likely target to take down.

Cubs have plenty of games left with the Cardinals and Pirates. Its tough, no doubt. Should be a fun 6 weeks.

All I'm saying is the giants have to get through the next few series before hitting that stretch of sub .500 teams. The Cubs are 21-4 in the past 25 games. They will definitely slide some. And honestly, it would not surprise me to see the giants catch them.

I've said it all year. Next year will be the year I expect big things from them.

And when your team is winning, it's the most wonderful time of the year!

fuck a bunch of wildcard....we need the NL West....as crappy as the d**gers have been playing, we should be in first....but we're not setting the world on fire, either.

glad to see Leake looks good to go.

Yes, it looks like you will need to win the west. But you play the Dodgers enough to have a chance.
