Chicago Cubs baseball!!!

Definitely a good weekend there!

My friend Darvish is up to his old tricks. Cubs score 4 in the top half. He gives up 4 in the bottom half. Such a loser. 

Fuckin Darvish.  God damn waste of fucking money.

He will never come close to earning that contract. Huge miss by Cubs front office.

Not making the playoffs this year.  You can take that one to Vegas.

Yes they are.

They will take the Central or the wild card.  They won't get far.
This team is the definition of inconsistent.  

Inconsistent is the key word.  Jekyll and Hyde type of a team. 

I’d take Jecky and Hyde over Heckyl and Jeckyl

Gets hurt playing catch. :fp:

At least it wasn't from taking off his pants.

Cubs suck.  As that loudmouth prick Richard Sherman once said about the 49ers, the Cubs are "ME-DI-OC-RE."  Team might win 85 games if they're lucky.  All I keep hearing about from EVERYONE is "there's too much talent on this team for them to not get it together."  They have regressed as a team every year since winning the World Series.  Where is this fucking talent I always hear about but never shows up?  Aside from Baez & Rizzo, I'm not sure any position player on the team has enough talent to bring it to the stadium on a daily basis and compete.  Look at all of the other good teams of the past 4 years.  They keep getting better, we keep getting worse.  The pure and simple fact is that the Cubs have done NOTHING to keep up with the Dodgers, Red Sox, Yankees, Astros, Brewers.  Even the Braves & Phillies have more exciting teams with more consistent all-star caliber players than the Cubs.  Those teams are all so far ahead of us, forget the fucking postseason.  Even if - and that's a small if - we make the playoffs, it will be one and done again.  It's almost like they won it all then got cocky and just expected the Commissioner's Trophy to be handed to them every year.  I'd be ok if this is Maddon's last season.  If there is all of this untapped talent in the dugout, it's the manager's job to get them to play to that level on a daily basis. I'm convinced Maddon is more concerned with what quirky lineup moves and puzzling in-game decisions he can make than actually winning games.  It's like he goes to the stadium with no game plan other than "How can I be fucking weird today?"
