@Jose Abreu posted this link in another thread, but the Cubs are allegedly threatening reporters that are portraying piece of shit Addison Russell in a bad light.

Not that it’s any surprise but Bruce Levine refuted this story on The Score this morning.

The cubs did a great job building their team the last years but their public relations the last 3 years have been a disaster:

-trading for abuser Chapman

-nazi grampa emails

-the Russell situation and its handling

Can't take away from wit they did on the field but they need to control their public relations a bit better.

Kyle Hendricks with an 81 pitch shutout. Really impressive performance.

I still have no idea how he gets major league hitting out. It is a minor miracle. He's like a Right Handed Mark Buehrle.

Running out only for the haters.   Most wins in all of baseball last 4 years, 3 NLCS appearances, World Series Champion.   Hottest team in baseball right now.

Still great.  Window Wide open for several more years.   Have to learn to deal with it and focus on the Sox not the Cub accomplishments.

Again only the haters wrote them off.  Real baseball fans did not, just like they have not written off the Red Sox or written "in" the D-Backs, Twins and to a lesser degree the Rays.  They still could fall far short of a title but it wasn't lost on the first road trip. Nor was Pecota justified in that first week.

Yep, their era began to fade when they failed to produce any pitching prospects and traded their best one to the Sox.  Theo has a long history of blowing free agent signings and not being able to develop pitchers, only hitters.  Also, he has signed some of the worst big money deals over the years — Edwin Jackson, Heyward, Chatwood, Darvish, Morrow.

Don't forget Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford.

WTH are you doing with these quote boxes that have images in them?

Something that would make the 2019 baseball easier to stomach is a complete implosion by the Cubs, that results in them cleaning house. It would be high comedy. Theo is fucking up, and it is simultaneously hilarious and wonderful. Couldn't happen to a better fanbase, lol. Eloy settling down and winning ROY would be great to stick it up their asses. 

Wow, look who has the best record in the NL and is the hottest team in baseball with the highest run diff.  You're dream will not come true.   That's why it is better to focus on the White Sox and not the Cubs accomplishments.  If you are getting your baseball joy from Cub failure you will be disappointed for a long time.  You're letting your hate get in the way of seeing what is real.   Cubs are really good and will be for awhile; just have to deal with it.   Focus on the White Sox.  You will feel better.
