The official 2016 MLB bitch and moan thread!

[djsimp]

Cubs also the first WS team to have an RBI by 3 different catchers in one game.

Congrats, Buzzy!  Now, you better get your ass to a softball field on November 26th.

Sorry, Buzz will still be celebrating with the Cubs until April 3rd.

So, Maddon and Chizad are related?  Who knew?

Ok, so I went back and listened to this bit again. What Maddon actually asked the MLB Tonight crew was when was the last time the Cubs won the WS, 1908 & 1907, then pointed at the score 8 to 7.

I count 5 runs the Indians would not have had (assuming of course) if Maddon would have trusted his pitchers a little more. Of course my next MLB game to manage will be my first. Cubs still won and that was because the Cubs bats were on fire. Hell, even Fowler broke out of his slump to have an MVP type night.

And a solid 1-2 more runs the Cubs would have had if not for having Heyward on their roster. He's fuckin awful.

Oh please.  Dude's a steal.  He's only got 7 more years to go on that $184,000,000 contract with a deferred $20,000,000 signing bonus.  He's definitely giving the Cubbies proper bang for their buck.

I mean, the guy hit over .200 didn't he?

I think he can technically opt for free agency in 3 more years, but if he looks at the market and knows he won't be making north of 20M a year, he'll stay with the cubs.  I remember being really pissed with he signed with the Cubs, but after the season he had, I don't feel so bad.

Pffft, stop living in the past.  Today, Cubs are tied with the Cards and Braves!

And we are now in the 5 year window of winning a championship, Cubs fans are not allowed to bitch about their team.

Serious question here. Does Steve Bartman now come out of hiding?

As leader of the Van Buren boys I think he would be safe.

I've watched the ESPN special on Bartman several times and each time it makes me hate Cubs' fans more.  JK Buzz.  I really felt for the guy and that crowd literally wanted to kill him.  As many times as I've seen that replay, I still don't think he did anything wrong...or at least anything different than 100% of the fans would have done and those around him tried to do.  I would have tried to catch it. You shittin' me?

Then I would have grabbed my crotch and told Alou to go fuck himself.

Myth. You are probably referring to Bartmans so called facial reconstructive surgery and relocation to London?
Like I said.....myth. Now, he might have moved to the south side of Chicago perhaps.....or even St. Louis.

If you go down there, you better just beware of a man name of Leroy Brown.

Well, it was borderline and the ball was inches from Alous glove as Bartman reached out to grab it. Tough break for both really but Bartman got the raw end of that deal.

As of 2013, Bartman still lives in Chicago and works for a financial services consulting company. He still declines interviews and, while he is still a Cubs fan, has never returned to Wrigley.

Now that is a true fan.

The downtown ladies call him Treetop Lover.
