2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

Here comes the whiny Giants again. Strick mustve learned that Bum. Cant show any emotion according to them. But its perfectly fine when they do it    

What time is that Tee Time with Matt Kemp tomorrow?

What does the Dodgers have to do with this? Oh right, yall cant stop mentioning them 24/7. See you in the Dodgers thread b...

I just mentioned Matt Kemp, looks like drew up your the rest in your head.

Late but why the hell are guys like Swisher and Papi on as analysts? Feel like active players have no fit being apart of that crew.

 

[cedric ceballos]

we got a series.

originally i picked giants in 5. although i want kc to win the series.

would be nice to see kc take a game or 2 in san francisco though. don't want to see them having to face bumgardner down 3-1 in the series.

Especially Swisher, who's hot garbage.

Both the east and west coasts sure do like to hit that panic button.

We'll see how the Royals do in SF. They need to score early because I don't know how I feel about Guthrie and Vargas.

I hope the people who still use Gold Gloves as some kind of measurement of how good a player is defensively see some of these nominees this year

They shouldn't be counting on him at all IMO. That was a big mistake for him to be out there. Bochy messed up. Yost had a pretty dumb move pinch running for Butler but it worked out in the end.

 

[lightweight champion]

I didn't see him jaw jacking at Harper when Harper owned him in the NLDS. But hopefully that's the end of Strickland for this series. Everytime he gets the call I expect a home run to be hit off him.

Lorenzo Cain and Brandon Crawford not nominated. List invalid.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Brandon Crawford made alot of Errors this year

Saw a segment on FS1 about Jose Abreu.

Seems like a really good dude. Hope he puts up #'s every year. He needs another big bat with him, though.

 

[proshares]

Well he didn't really have a big bat with him this year and he feasted. Even when they adjusted and started giving him more breaking stuff, he still raked.

Joe Maddon opts out of contract. Prob goes to LA. If only Astros held out a tad longer.

 

[Hahahaha]

Wish the Yankees would fire Girardi and scoop Maddon

My money is on the Cubs.

Mets should get him ASAP.

 

[phillyzphan]

^ Mets said they're not going after Maddon according to Jon Heyman. "No, we are not changing managers".

Wish the Phillies would get involved with Maddon but that'll never happen. He's gonna end up with the Cubs.

 

[proshares]

Didn't they just re-sign Cocktail Collins? they're happy with being stuck in mediocrity. Just like the Phillies refuse to rebuild.

I thought the whole point of Renteria was the Latin connection to his young players tho.

I mean, I'll take him, I just don't know why Theo would move off that after a year.


Long as nothing happens to Bosio, it's whatever. Bosio better not go anywhere.

 

[dman14]

wow, didnt think maddon was gonna opt out.

hope hunter strickland doesnt see any meaningful batters

I can see it. I'm more and more convinced that they'll pay for a pitcher this year instead of waiting a year for the bats to develop more and go after Price. I think they're going to make an attempt to get into the St. Louis/Pittsburgh part of the division. Reds are going to be down for a bit and crushed by that Votto contract and Milwaukee is just a weirdly assembled team. I think they make their move this off season.

I swear to God if you get Scherzer and leave us with Lester, I'll root against them for as long as I live
