Chicago Cubs baseball!!!

Yelich may end up with a higher BA than Baez's OBP.  Yelich leads the league in BA, SLG, OPS, OPS+.  Has more runs, hits, walks, & fewer strikeouts than Baez.  Baez leads the league in RBI and total bases but only has 6 and 1 more than Yelich respectively in those categories.  Baez has 1 more homer, 4 more doubles, 2 more triples.  All negligible differences. Same number of stolen bases, Yelich has been caught less. Baez has left 60 more men on base the Yelich, and his BABIP is 20 points lower.

And I just want to say something here...

The amount of hatred, badmouthing, and often time utter disgust regarding the Cubs that has come from non-Cub fans these last 4 seasons is just absolutely astounding.  It's just utterly amazing how a team that has had a history of misfortune & shortcoming seems to get under the skin of so many people once they finally have some sot of continued success.  I really don't get it.  Seriously, what the fuck have the Chicago Cubs ever done to these people that just the sheer mention of anything good about the team makes their blood boil?  You don't see this scale of hatred & disgust for the Astros, the Indians, or the A's. You didn't see it for the Royals and Blue Jays who were in the ALCS just a couple years ago. You don't see it for the Nationals, the Brewers, the Rockies, or Diamondbacks.  And you really don't even see it for the Dodgers outside of Giants fans.  All of these teams have at least some recent history of not being very successful - at least in the postseason, if not at all together.  Yet these teams all get praise on a national scale now that they've either won or become perennial contenders.  I'm not saying everyone has to love the Cubs or become a fan.  But why all the hate??  I was absolutely elated for the Astros and Royals to win it all.  And even though they beat us in the NLCS, I was happy for the Dodgers that they made it back to the WS after a 30 year absence. And they gave us one of the best World Series I've ever witnessed with Houston last year.  I was happy we go to play the Indians 2 years ago because it meant someone was finally going to break a longstanding "curse."  Thank goodness we won, but if we would have lost, I'd have wanted it to be to the Indians.  It just makes me wonder, are people really that butt-hurt over the Cubs finally having some success that they are just hoping with every last breath to see them fall back into mediocrity again.  I mean, we have our own resident Cubs hater here, and for no good reason, especially given his team had a decades-long drought of their own.  I really just don't understand.  You'd think were the Yankees and have 26 titles they way people act about our team.  I mean, it honestly felt that, when we finally won it all, NO ONE was happy except Cubs fans and everyone else was fucking pissed.
