He's not wrong
No hes not. But he doesn't have to air out his dirty laundry. They all got the ring.

Didn't he tell Maddon he was ready as much as he needed him in game 7? Thought i remember him saying he could go 3 innings. Maddon messed up pulling Hendricks early for no reason. Still it's pretty bush league to say you can do something, fail at it, then blame someone else since you sucked. Good riddance.

People are blowing this wayyyyy out of proportion. Did you guys read the article or just reacting to the headline? What he said wasn't that bad at all.

Just got the World Series Film bluray yesterday & watched it last night. Honestly, I'm kinda disappointed in it. I mean, it was cool to hear the players thoughts and all, but I expected it to be a little more behind the scenes than it was and more about the season-long journey. At least that's what the description on the back of the case leads you to believe. It's pretty much just a game by game color commentary of peak moments in the series. Only a handful of Cubs are in it - Zobrist, Bryant, Rizzo, Lester, Hendricks, Ross, Fowler, Chapman, Theo, & Tom. I think Grimm had a line or two. They quickly glossed over Montero's series winning RBI as if it were an afterthought. Vince Vaughn narrating was a nice touch, though.

would've been cool to have a extra commentary track by a drunk Bill Murray.

I'd really like to know how these two fools didn't make it in the special features!

Buster Posey, the consummate professional (and my favorite non-Cub baseball player)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-cubs-world-series-look-ahead-2017-20170215-story.html

Catcher Buster Posey has moved on after his Giants blew a three-run lead in the ninth inning of a 6-5 loss in Game 4 of the National League Division Series that allowed the Cubs to avoid a Game 5 against Johnny Cueto and instead advance to the NL Championship Series.

"That was our goal," Posey said last month in regards to forcing a fifth and deciding game of the NLDS at Wrigley Field. "Everyone wanted to see that game. I would have loved to have been a part of Game 5. I wanted to come out on top, but it would have been a fun game.

"Hats off to those guys. They had a heck of a run. I don’t think anyone could complain about that World Series. Even if you weren’t a big baseball fan, you had to be entertained with the way that turned out."

A friend said opening day tickets were 1500 nosebleed seats. Makes my game 5 world series tickets look like a bargain at 950.

bflynn1 · February 2017

Got tickets for Cubs vs Cardinals Saturday Sept. 16 and Sunday Sept. 17!

In my 25 years of fandom, these games will be my first at Wrigley. I've seen more concerts at Wrigley than games... That begins to change this year.

Getting close to that time of yr to troll my favorite thread!

I'm so excited for this season. Many of my other teams have won championships in their respective sports, but baseball and the Cubs are my first loves. It's really strange to go into a season with a feeling of relief. No more "next year" or "this is the year." No more 1908. Just looking forward to fun baseball this season.

Heyward picking up right where he left off. 0-for-spring training.

I'm still trying to process the fact that we're defending World Series Champs.

That happened, right?

When showing his dinger..The local news guy was like.."you don't have to worry about heyward finding his swing"...lets not get ahead of ourselves..

HesCalledDyer · March 2017

Yeah, 0-16 up til that bomb.

mca47 · March 2017

Heyward's easily got one of the worst swings I've seen in baseball for a long time.
So awkward. Nothing fluid about it at all.

Chicago Cubs baseball!!!
