Dick Allen Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Is it just me or does anyone else notice Cubmania in Chicago seems to be at about as low of level since pre Harry Caray? Sure, they will probably sell out or nearly sell out their remaining home games, but it’s the middle of June, they are in contention, and whether it’s a newspaper or television, you almost have search for Cubs stuff. Even when they really sucked, it was always in your face. Maybe it’s Marquee, maybe winning took the tolerance of not being the best away, but it seems really different. Hopefully the Sox can capitalize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Sox can capitalize. Are there still local newspapers or widely watched television news broadcasts in Chicago (or anywhere)? Tonight is one of the few games to be televised for either team over the air this season. Solid marketing effort to keep shrinking interest shrinking further, across both sides of town. Fegan is the only Sox beat writer who actually does something more than parrot the FO and kick out a game recap an automated writing program can mimic. Reminds me of the cigarette companies. Maximize profit now, your customers are dying soon. MLB stewardship the past four decades. Would never follow the team now if it wasn't embedded by playing and watching since the 70s. Not sure if they will ever recover interest in the sport which was still the king of all sports as recently as the 70s. It's not cold in here, you're just dying.....

Hopefully the Sox can capitalize. It's not just you. I really think that winning in 2016 hurt interest. They finally got their championship, but things waned. Used to be that Cub fans took anything the Tribune Company dished out, and it was okay. You could kick a Cub fan down a flight of stairs, and it would be okay if the stairs were carpeted. Now there seems to be a layer of bitterness. With the Tribune not owning the Cubs, the constant propaganda has dwindled. The lovable stuff is gone even with the good string of seasons they had. I think the Ricketts family thought they could stand by the Harry statue with an Old Style and everything would be great. Wrong. Can the Sox capitalize? They can if they complete this rebuild and finally turn the team into an elite American League franchise. We will see if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Sox can capitalize. I have also noticed — would have expected this surprising first-place run to set Cubdom on fire more than it has seemed to. I think the fan base still senses things are headed in the wrong direction and is waiting for the other shoe to drop on this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Hoping the Cubs sweep Cleveland, sticking close at least with Civale on the mound, their only SP still standing at this point. They showed the first pitcher inspection, Alzolay got hi fives fro teammates after passing. Doubt umps will check inside Cease’s pants based on previous replays of him digging around his crouch during previous games.

South Side Hit Men Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Well, there's at least one manager paying attention to more than unwritten rules in Chicago. Quote Mon, Jun 21 Javier Baez was benched by Cubs manager David Ross after losing track of the number of outs in the bottom of the fourth inning against the Indians. Advice: Baez evidently thought there were two outs when Anthony Rizzo hit a one-out flyball to left field and he was easily doubled off of first base. Ross then decided to replace Baez at shortstop with Sergio Alcantara. Baez was hitless in two plate appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brewers lose to the Diamondbacks, and the Reds lose to the Twins. As far as help regarding Cleveland, you won't get it from the Cubs. And the Sox shouldn't expect it from anyone else either.

Zobrist does seem like a nice guy tho He signed autographs outside his house for hours after the World Series. He also drove the WS MVP Camaro back to his pad and let the neighborhood kids sit inside. Met him teaching his daughter to ride a bike. Extremely nice and down to earth guy and it's sad to see that he seems to have been abused by his wife and this clown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Quote The lawsuit also says Yawn defrauded Zobrist’s charity foundation, Patriot Forward. Yawn received a paid salary from Patriot Forward and used it as “an excuse to meet with” Julianna Zobrist. The Journal Star says Yawn is no longer associated with the church.

South Side Hit Men Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Four Cub pitchers combined for a no-hitter last night, defeating Walker Buehler and the Dodgers 4-0 at Chavez Ravine. Far from a perfect game, all four Cubs pitchers walked at least one batter, with starter Zach Davies walking 5 in his 6 innings of work. Alec Mills pitched the last Cubs no-hitter in Milwaukee last year. Perhaps this defeat will be the difference in home field advantage between the White Sox and Dodgers come October. The Cubs remain atop the NL Central with a 42-33 record. Edited June 25, 2021 by South Side Hit Men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker Buehler...a bit premature, the Dodgers also have lost 7 of last 8 against Padres and most importantly have to pass SFG or will be stuck in a sudden death wild card game with Darvish vs. Kershaw/Buehler. Giants are the story of the early season...with Indians not too far behind. Cubs or Astros/Rays/A’s also, with Twins biggest disappointment along with Yankees, Cards and Braves.

The Giants can hold on but not sure they will. Dodgers have a lot of depth, and as the only truly competitive team not worrying about "luxury tax" bullshit, the resources to pick up anything at the trade deadline. Their one major weakness currently is the depth of quality bullpen arms, so I expect plenty of action on that front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
