Yeah, they only won another pennant and four total playoff series in those intervening years compared to, what, one for the Cubs since theirs?

One what? World Series? Ya that would be a bit better than winning a pennant.

  1. Tank. Lose 100 games for 3-4 years on purpose.
  2. Draft in the top 5 and get great position players.
  3. Lose some more while those position players develop.
  4. When they reach MLB, buy free agent pitchers to complete the roster
Obviously #4 is where the plan went off the rails. If you haven't won a title in 109 years, maybe 1 WS title makes all the losing worth it? But, I've seen my team win 5 WS's(including 1 live in person) and they never forced me, on purpose as a plan, to watch crap baseball for YEARS just so we have a chance to win later.

And how would 11 WS stack up to 1 in an arbitrary timeline, dumbass?

Some teams havent benefited from free draft picks like others have while still maintaining a top payroll and revenue stream in MLB.

And if having to watch one of the worst defensive teams in baseball while the ownership lines its pockets in gold isnt forcing you to watch crap baseball then I don't know what is. But there's always the Matt Cassel/Alex Smith Chiefs excuse of "Your choice." At least the Cubs had the decency to be upfront about it.

Cardinals just signed Waino for 2019.

Cardinals re-signed RHP Adam Wainwright to a one-year contract.

No word yet on the financial terms of the deal, but it figures to be pretty team-friendly. Wainwright made only eight starts for the Cardinals in 2018 due to right elbow problems and finished with a 4.46 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 40 1/3 innings. The 37-year-old holds a combined 4.77 ERA in 362 1/3 innings since the beginning of the 2016 season. 2019 will be his 14th year with St. Louis.

Unless it's for the vet minimum, fire Mo.

That literally hurts this team.

I wouldn't write off the Cubs any time soon. You do realize they they don't pay dick for most of their position players.

Shit, the only guys they pay any real money from is Jason Heyward, Rizzo, and Zobrist. Everyone else is under team control or in the early stages of arbritration. Do they need to get better? Yeah. Has the money spent on starting pitching worked out? No. But this is a 95-100 win team year in and year out.

For this Cubs fan, I think they should do a little rebuild, trade a legit asset for some young pitching, but I doubt that happens.
