They can win 83 games in their sleep if they want to!

They just dont want to right now!!!

They still need to draft a catcher and some power arms so 83 must wait. Bonaficio is going to get called to the principals office after his opening series antics.

I swear every damn Sox fan on here bitches about BF starting Sox threads, but lo & behold, another Cubs thread started by a Sox fan!

This isn't a Cubs thread. It's about two great baseball men who have worked various places and now simply happen to be with the Cubs for awhile. They can win 83 games in their sleep. Apparently sometimes they stay awake.

Theo and Jed are so smart, so much smarter than the dumb fans who just.don't.get.it, that if you asked them if they would rather win 70 games or 75 games they would say 70 games!

Genius!

Spiegel was actually arguing with everyone in sight this morning about how you should want the Cubs to lose every game. He couldn't find anyone to agree, but bernstein wasn't there yet.

I listened to that.....bad, bad, bad. Gotta love how the hosts (BernSTINE and Meat and Rozner) use the stance to appear so much smarter and "in the know" than everyone else. How many years are we into the "THEO AND JED" regime? And how much closer are they to winning a championship? They are going to lose 100 games this year and be terrible, maybe one of the worst teams of the last 20 years. This is progress?

The Genius Crew aren't baseball fans, Cubs fans or whatnot...it seems they aren't even rooting for a rebuilding phase but instead rooting for the idea of a rebuilding phase. It's the strangest thing I've seen in some time.

I've never heard anyone else put it that way, but you hit the nail absolutely on the head. What kind of fan roots for rebuilding? It's just weird. I probably have thirty more years to live if I'm lucky. I can't afford for some Harvard douchebag to throw away ten percent of my seasons.

Checkmate, Theo.

It's still getting filed under "Cubs".

Sox fans are like an ex wife after you found a new girlfriend. They want you to be miserable fucks like them and get upset if you seem happy with someone else.

This is what I hate about some baseball threads. Most of the time it's not even funny. #Predictable

GO BEARS!!!

Don't know if JORR was referring to this, but Ricketts basically said the same thing this morning...something to the effect of "we could spend money and be .500 ...if we wanted to."

Regardless of The Plan, the fact is that they are charging top-level MLB prices for a minor league product. Wanna blow it up and tank 3-5 seasons for draft picks? Fine -- then lower your ticket prices accordingly. I see that only sold 93% of tickets were sold for opening day...

I honestly would like to know what JORR and the 13 others in Sox Nation want Cubs fans to do? A lot of hate for media love is being placed on Cubs fans. Again, fans aren't supposed to be objective.

They don't put out either

Me too. I don't really understand who is in the wrong here, besides perhaps the media. But I think even that is overblown.

Stop acting like it's okay while Theo and Ricketts jizz in your face.

Say what you will about the other 13 Sox fans and myself, but we don't slurp Jerry Reinsdorf and Kenny Williams and those guys actually won us a World Series.

Who is slurping Theo other than the media!?

_________________

I think a lot of fans just accept something because Theo says it in a way they wouldn't if it were said by someone else. Patience may begin to run short soon. But just because a guy says "we're building the team the right way" doesn't mean it's true. Every GM in the history of sports and beyond feels that whatever he's doing is "the right way".

I think Cubs fans should be upset because their team sucks not happy because Theo says some day it might not.

I will admit that most if the die hard Cub fans I know are old meatballs (my dad and his friends) but they are just as disgusted this year as they are every other year.
