Milkman delivers

Altuve has to be the most hated by far.

Huh?

Like I said before, Houston would’ve drawn the hate watchers. Philadelphia would draw the young crowd. Harper is the perfect amount of douche for the 20 something fans. Arizona and Texas will be pretty terrible in the ratings. I don’t think anybody nationally cares about either team. I’m not even sure how they draw locally.

It was.

The Cheating Cheaters of Cheaterton are officially eliminated. Fantastic. And if Arizona wins tomorrow, MLB cannot be very happy ?

It’s all well and good if you choose to move away. But if they move away from you, it’s different. I’m sure we all have that friend who moves an hour or more away and then complains that none of their friends ever comes to visit, as if it’s on everyone else to make the effort to see you instead of you coming back to see everyone else.

Damn it, the Astros are definitely taking this series.

Screw Chicago. I have no love or allegiance to this city. I would absolutely stop watching baseball games if the Sox weren’t convenient for me to watch. I already stopped for several years and they didn’t even move.

Perhaps my first impression was correct.

No argument that it’s embarrassing. I consider them to be an embarrassment of a franchise entirely.

That would be nice. But looking back as the Twins, that has to hurt.

As bad as the Central is and has been, the Sox and Royals have won a World Series in recent memory (KC getting to the WS twice). The Tigers (twice) and Guardians have been to the WS. And you have the Twins getting to the playoffs ten times since 2002. They advanced past the first round just twice. Has to suck to be a fan of that team.

In my mind, absolutely. But this would make it unarguable.

On the other hand, if they win it, Bochy has to then be considered one of the greatest managers of all time, right?

For sure, but I don’t think many teams had a Manning or Brady. Those are best of all time contenders, so every team would want them. But yes, the Bears take it to an extreme by almost never having anything better than a league average QB. Completely agree on your draft statements. Regarding Cutler, maybe my memory is way off, but you think he wasn’t even a top 15 QB? Off the top of my head, I would think he was a top 10 for at least a few years on the Bears. Certainly not the best, but better than most. But I honestly can’t recall most of the starting QBs from that timeframe.

You gotta kind of admire it, to be one of those people who doesn’t give a s%*# what you think. But maybe it’s also a bit sociopathic.

Spoiled in comparison to everything they had before and since. He’s the best they’ve had by a wide margin. The issue for the Bears, as with the Sox, is that they have arguably the worst owner in the sport. Nothing changes until that does. They’ll trip over a good season here and there, but that’s the best you’ll get.

Is there any proof of this whatsoever? Or is it possible that the historically cheap owner of the Marlins is being cheap again by not offering an extension when there’s still one more year left of a contract?

Valid points all around. Let’s just hope Williams or Maye turn out better for us than literally everything before them haha.

Not sure if you’re referring to Cutler, but I would say it wasn’t him that was preventing the Bears from winning a Super Bowl. Much worse quarterbacks than Cutler have won it all.

At least Arizona is making a game of this. Through the first five innings, I was ready to write off the entire series.

I see his point regarding Cutler/Manning. The team had the best QB in the team’s modern history, but the fans wanted better. How spoiled we were at the time and didn’t realize it. Everyone would want Mahomes when they have Trubisky.

Before this game, the Bears had just come off of one and a half good games. And listening to sports radio last week was infuriating. Callers constantly talking about how the Bears are back in contention, they could win the next 7 straight, Fields is the QB of the future again, etc. I’m glad they’ll have to shut up again. Blindly loyal fans aggravate the hell out of me. I’ve come to realize that Bears fans are basically Cubs fans when winter rolls around, even the ones who root for the Sox.

Win two more games, Rangers. Then I’ll be ok with any World Series winner.

I think the lowest would easily be Arizona-Texas. Houston would draw plenty of fans rooting against them.
