greg775 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Well, the Cubs finally made the right moves and got an owner willing to spend money and a genius GM in Theo and the best manager in the game in Maddon. So you can see why they won it. Not to make it worse, but we have a horrible cheap owner (albeit maybe he CAN'T spend more; I realize we spend a good amount, but...) we have two horrific GMs who get in each other's way and we had a horrific manager so we had no chance of overachieving like that lousy Indians team did. So the curse was bulls***. The Cubs finally got it right. Owner, check; GM check; manager, check. -- Before you ream me, can u say Ben Zobrist? Uh the Cubs even paid to get HIM and he's Mr. Postseason. Edited November 3, 2016 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Ben Zobrist is the WS MVP. That guy's won the World Series two times in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything hard by him He didn't have problems for most of the series. I've said this before and I'll say it again: the Cubs hitting got better in the series because of how much they saw the Indians bullpen, which was primarily just 3 guys. The Cubs have great hitters, the Indians just had a really good gameplan for most of the series. The Cubs adjusted and their talent overcame the Indians'.

It was easy to see that in 80% of the gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I'm still trying to figure out how Davis smashed that Chapman pitch for a homer. The Cubs came out after the rain delay and were all calm and focused after meeting in the locker room. I won't blame that though. After not winning since 1908 the Cubs were due for this luck bulls*** to be on their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roster the Indians took to the World Series is worse than ours. I know they have multiple key players injured but they still got there. Sale/Q/Rodon is miles ahead of what they sent out there. Just imagine pitching Sale 3 times and Q 2 times in a 7 game series. How can you possibly lose that series? I have no problem with them going for it but we need a bullpen stopper like Chapman/Miller and another big time bat (Cespedes, Encarnacion, etc.). I like our chances to be a surprise team if we can get that. Edited November 3, 2016 by soxforlife05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
