Let me be like everyone else here cheering for a team they don't actually caring about the way they cheer for the White Sox. Dude people know where you stand. You've probably said it in 90% of the your post total on the site. Do you ever get tired of copy and pasting the same f***ing messages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistically, if all teams are equal, the Cubs double their chances of reaching the world series from 12.5% to 25%. They're not wrong, but it's still kind of silly.

caulfield12 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) Statistically, if all teams are equal, the Cubs double their chances of reaching the world series from 12.5% to 25%. They're not wrong, but it's still kind of silly. Wouldn't it have to go from 20% (5 teams) to 25%, 4 teams? 12.5% would be the chance of any of the 8 remaining teams winning it all, if all things were equal (which they're not, since the Wild Card teams sacrifice one start from their ace in the Division Series). It's telling that White Sox fans are more excited hoping for the Cubs to lose (myself included) than actually excited about our own team over the last 4-6 weeks, but it is what it is. Honestly, with how bad things have gotten...maybe some additional suffering in the form of the Cubs winning the World Series might finally wake up someone at 35th and Shields to the reality of the situation. Like most, they're probably counting on the Cubs somehow being cursed or blowing this thing. There's certainly no guarantee that will happen, not when you have a young team that doesn't care about what has happened in the past and just kind of shrugs like high school students do when you talk about the 1960's when they only care about the latest computer game, iphone, ipad, etc. If it didn't happen in their lifetime, the players often aren't aware, even of icons like Ernie Banks, Fergie Jenkins, Billy Williams, and gasp, Ron Santo.

Jose Abreu Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 09:57 PM) Honestly, with how bad things have gotten...maybe some additional suffering in the form of the Cubs winning the World Series might finally wake up someone at 35th and Shields to the reality of the situation. Short of making a Donaldson-esque trade, there's nothing the Sox can do to drastically become a 2016 WS contender. The Cubs winning the WS may make the FO more determined, but it's not like there are that many available players who could actually improve our team.
