    Those three are worse, this time you're only contention because of an expanded playoff field.

    Sure, I agree.
    But it would have been nice to gather with friends, have some beverages, grill some food, and watch the Cubs blow a wild card series. 

    Trust me, if these clowns make the playoffs, I don't see them advancing past game 2.

    you never know with those best of three series, last year the team with home field advantage won one series and that was Cleveland. Last year, a 101-win Mets team, the Cardinals and Blue Jays lost in that round, though each of those had way higher win totals than the NL second and third wild card teams, so it seems unlikely the Cubs would win the wild card series.

    Again.
    Why do I do this to myself.
    it’s got to warm your (reconditioned) heart that the cardinals are in DFL, right?

    I totally hear you on “why do I do this to myself.” it’s irrational to care so much, but lots of us do. I used to work with an otherwise normal dude who didn’t give two shits about sports. I envied him.

    True story. 100% fact

    Last year when I had the stents, cardiac arrest, death, etc. I woke up and declared I will never watch another Cubs game. And in 2022 I did just that. I didn't watch a game all season.

    After the triple bypass this year for some reason It was just the opposite. I ordered the Cubs tv package at $88 a month, and I have probably watched 100 games this year.

    Fucking weird.

  • And honestly, seriously...
    The last 2 nights CAN NOT be good for my heart. Right? It just can't be!

  • And like I have always said about sports.
    When the season is over they will all get on planes, with their 25 year old drop dead gorgeous wives, and go vacation on some tropical island for 4 months.

    While us fans sit at home making ourselves crazy spending each day, pissed off, because our team fell apart. 

    The players forget about that last game in about 48 hours.

    exactly! and don’t forget about the checks they’re cashing.

    I always said I could die happy if my Giants ever won a WS. they did, in 2010, and I was diagnosed with cancer in 2011. I said, “lord, I was only kidding!” anyway, the good feelings I had from 2010, 2012 and 2014 are long gone. this past month has been torture….the Giants went from like a 90% chance to make the playoffs to being toast. like your Cubs, they weren’t going to win a series anyway, but it still (irrationally) hurts. your boys might still sneak in. in a way, wouldn’t it be better if their season could just be over? looking at the standings, you’ll probably be in agony for a least a few more days.

  • Your Giants had one HELL of a decade 2010-2020

    As you are aware, my Cubs win once a century.

    And no it would not be better for my Cubs season to end today. 

    Sitting in my friend James garage, known as garage-a-palooza, is a good time. 
    He has a big screen set up, surround sound, we have a double door fridge filled with beverages, its quite a little setup. 
    Going there, watching the Cubs blow 2 straight wild card games would still be better than not making the playoffs.

    I've always wondered about that but more so in basketball and hockey if there are some players who deep down are relieved not to be in the playoffs or exit the postseason after the first round so their summer can start earlier.
