Like I said earlier, let them prove it in the majors before hanging banners.
So what would you have these people talk about? Giants won it last year. So because we can't look forward, Giants are going to win it this year?
You act like they're a bunch of rubes just blindly picking. Are you just against all predictions or just those you disagree with?

I disagree. It's what non-smart baseball fans do.
Real fans of baseball see the Cubs farm system for what it is: A shitload of potentially great bats in an otherwise power lacking MLB.

Stop hanging out with idiots then, that's a personal problem and not one you need to extend to the rest of of us. I'm certainly guilty of pumping sunshine for the cubs and at best i've got them competing to be a WC-2 team.

Well, pretty much the one's that don't have the Reds at least in the playoffs. So, this year, pretty much all of them.

Buster onley has it Cards, Pirates, Reds, Cubs, Brewers.
I'm guessing he can make predictions then?

Yea but you can't talk about them, or hope they do well, or think they have a chance to do well.

Man, a 10-13 game jump from last season is gonna be tough. I just hope they can reach the 80 win mark.

Ok, so I disagree on certain things in sports with someone else I'm non-smart. That's smart. I'll play though. "Man that Cub farm is stacked"."I think they'll win for many years to come with those guys". Maybe, I think like this though," They've got some good looking prospects in that system". "Let's see how they progress the next year or two before claiming pennants". It's called opinion.

I guess I'm overly pessimistic on prospects especially a load of them at one time.
Because this took a turn with you taking exception to baseball talking heads predicting the cubs to be good in the next few years, are you also pessimistic about young already on the roster talent, what about increased revenue streams, coaching, and Free Agent acquisitions?
Because that's the excitement around the cubs, prospects coming up, good long term controlled talent on the roster already, a new tv deal shortly, increased advertising at wrigley.

Nope. No Reds in playoffs no-likey.

it is...and I don't think they'd sell out (in fact i'm about certain) at the trade deadline to make a potentially ill advised push. I'll admit i'm biased, i do think with things going right it's possible though.

well actually that order could have them in the playoffs...

See good baseball argument in a good way. Pigg thinks the Cubs can compete for the playoffs, but beer is skeptical they can win 80. No one is stupid here just opinion.

Actually they could because that happened in 2013, but I doubt he sees it that way.

All this Cubs jizz makes me sick. I think they aren't any better at the ML level than they were at the beginning of last year. Swap Lester for Samardja and it's close to the same with a prospect or two. I know they got Fowler and Montero but this looks like a 73-78 win team. Prospects are just that until they do it in the show.
Then this might have gone a little better. Instead, it's you having to defend your dumb assed comments instead of actually talking real baseball.

The WC2 is huge. Take out the Jose Veras experiment last year, and the Cubs were a .500 team, even with Edwin Jackson pitching.

So, that comment about why I think the Cubs will be a 73-78 win team isn't real baseball talk? I didn't back it up with any reasons? Ok.
Posted on 3/12/15 at 2:51 pm to piggidyphish
Like I said in an earlier post it's many Cubs fans I know not you guys.
Posted on 3/12/15 at 2:51 pm to msudawg1200
Man, I don't really care anymore. Just say whatever. I just want to talk Cubs without the proverbial "frat fans, overvaluing prospects, beer garden, 100 years" shite. It's dumb, and bad sports thoughts.
