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

I get that, but you fail to see the entirety of what we talk about with the Cubs. Like renovating Wrigley, getting new TV deals, the INTL spending, etc that he does, from the ground up, that others fail to accomplish.

That's moreso what my point was last year. His plan was EVERYTHING, not just players, FA's, etc. He rebuilt the entire franchise level by level, every single detail. That's what we (Cubs nation) are talking about.

I thought the Ricketts were behind the renovation of Wrigley and TV deals? Didn't think GMs had control over those things.

If the Mets score in the 1st inning there is a .1% chance the Dodgers can pull out a W.

Greinke looks like a 12 year old girl with that hair

Theo is President and oversees everything. He has complete control.

Ska, were you just kidding about Theo and the Red Sox? He built that farm system too. He only gets credit for 04, but the other two were largely his players too.

watch utley come up in crucial situation again

 

[madj55]

How does Gonzalez not get on 2B there? GIDP coming up from Turner.

 

[nick.]

Justin Turner might be the hottest hitter on the planet

 

[a-friend]

Justin Turner is single handedly keeping this series alive for LAD. Dude is like 21 for 18 at the plate.

 

[madj55]

Turner has been a stud.

 

[dman14]

degrom very human tonight

[jewbacca2]

Turner has a sweet stroke

[All_$tar1997]

[jewbacca2]

Grandal 5 for his last 92 

 

[a-friend]
