chitown87 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 The cubs are about to endure their second 9-game losing streak (andcounting) of the season. With hugely different rosters. Wild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cubs have given up 41 runs during the last three games. Hope their fans are enjoying the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananarchy Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Kris Bryant seems a lot happier out of Chicago. The Cubs organization is a disgrace. Jerry Reinsdorf isn't the cheapest owner in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sox sold out every day regardless of record I think they would have a top 5 payroll. If this team can go on a 3 to 5 year run it will certainly be interesting how the payroll unfolds. They have had some large crowds this year. You can't even begin to see a path for the cubs out of what they are in currently. If the Sox were ever going to move the needle in this city, this time and this team are it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April May and September weekday/night games are always going to be a challenge due to weather and the lack of sizzle surrounding the AL Central opponents. Getting to the WS would help immensely, or at least the ALCS. Edited August 16, 2021 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sox want to make inroads into the Chicago baseball market, they have the opportunity to do so right now. But I don't know if the organization is even concerned about that. Meanwhile, the Cubs are so bad right now, they are not even fun to stomp on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no, it is definitely funny. In fact the best part is that it is entirely self-inflicted. They tried to go cheap with the faces of the franchise who broke the curse, and happily dealt them off to save a few bucks. Now they are combination of awful and unmotivated as a team. It is wonderful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is wonderful. I wholeheartedly agree. They could have made those guys fair offers and signed them. They could have spent money, retooled, and become a force for many years but instead decided to cry poor and now they're gonna be bad for a looong time. They got their title, good for them, but I wont cry any tears that its a Sox town again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their offense is clicking and bullpen has been amazing. Then the month of June began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
