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

[champcruthik]

Sounds like Dee Gordon.

 

[wildkycat]

I did see him in person score from first on a single... he can absolutely fly lol, it's crazy.

 

[champcruthik]

Is Choo gonna keep this up in CF?

I kinda want to trade him in fantasy.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

u could get brett lawrie for him. lulz.

 

[champcruthik]

Lol, I'll seriously take Lawrie off your hands but obviously not at that price.

Make an offer. I'm open to wheeling and dealing.

 

[wildkycat]

he's in a contract year... so...

 

[proshares]

The Cubs surely won the Rizzo deal, but I still like Cashner a lot.

Guessing Dale Sveum won't be around when they do start putting it all together.

If that shoulder could ever stay healthy for a year of 30 starts in that division? Oh boy.

The Nationals have the worst bench in baseball.

Roger Bernadina: 4/39, 15 K's, and all 4 hits are singles.
Chad Tracy: 5/36, 13 K's, and all 5 of his hits are singles.
Tyler Moore: 8/51, 23 K's :x
Steve Lombardozzi is just average.

Mike Rizzo didn't address the bench at all this off-season, and I think it might bite us in the *** over the season with how injury prone our team is.

 

[do work son]

Man, quit your complaining. You don't know real struggle bruh.

Feels damn good to see Nick Swisher in a different uniform.

Besides his occasional strikeouts here and there, he's definitely been a pleasure to watch. He's come through for us when needed. He also loves playing for the Tribe .

to Mariano being honored by the Cleveland Indians today....he'll be missed.

 

[madj55]

Man, quit your complaining. You don't know real struggle bruh.

I know all about the struggle man, the only winning season I've ever seen was last year watching the Astros right now is pretty much equivalent to watching the Nats from 2008-2010.

 

[champcruthik]

Cue the first stretch J. Upton will hit a slump.

Patiently awaiting B.J. to wake up.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

2008 Giants 3 and 4 hitters were Ray Durham and Bengie Molina that was a struggle

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

Double

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

Giants kicked my Braves *** this weekend .. Our offense is anemic right now.

 

[rawex5]

Braves hitters can be pitched to.

Giants last.

*Knocks on wood.* Not Kerry Wood.

 

[proshares]

And the Yanks are somehow still in first place

 

[sircharles2ol3]

Mo + Cano are carrying the team.

 

[madj55]

Bryce Harper...what're you doing out there homie?

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Bryce Harper...what're you doing out there homie?

Damn I just the play :x ran right into the wall

 

[mr jordan04]

Bryce Harper

 

[jdcurt2]

Damn, Bryce. It's like he blacked out for a split second or something right before he hit the wall.

 

[freddie black]

His controller disconnected.
