Does "adorable" mean "piss smelling and weed infested?" If so, that's spot on.

Wow, there's a name from the past, Tom Lawless. That must have been '87 against the Twins?

Hey, leave Wrigley alone. At least chunks of concrete aren't falling on fans sitting below the upper deck anymore. I think.

I know tons of Cubs fans (I'm not one), and none of them think they're an incredible organization. YMMV.
Now Cardinals fans on the other hand ...

And to be fair, that's one more World Series win than some teams.

Quote from: wadesworld on October 15, 2025, 07:48:11 AMThe reality is Shohei, Betts, and Freeman would all be the best player that has ever played for the Brewers. They're all on the Dodgers at the same time.

Outside of maybe Teddy Higera and 3 months of CC Sabathia, Snell, Shohei, Yamamoto, Glasnow, and Kershaw (though to be fair, not current day...although it's still not far off) would all be the best starter in Brewers history. They all pitch for the Dodgers today.

Easy to say "hit better." The Dodgers have better players by a mile outside of the bullpen. Give the Brewers an extra $230MM to play with and maybe they hit the ball a little better. Contreras and Chourio are the only Brewers who would see a Playoff AB for the Dodgers.

I wouldn't say Betts and Freeman are better than Hank Aaron, unless you're only counting his brewers play as the actual brewers in the final two years of his career.

Well, I was going to say the Reds. The Pirates can be the Bucs from the old NFC Central.

It was.  The best part is watching that and seeing his bat flip.  If someone did that today against the BFIB's, there wouldn't be enough ambulances to get to all the trailer parks to handle the heart attacks and strokes

The people that think the Cubs are an incredible juggernaut organization are either pink hat fans that moved to Chicago in the last few years post college or meathead bleacher bums looking to chat crap.

They were a joke of an organization who went between stingy and spending stupidly with bad results in the MacPhail/Hendry years.  Then they turned into a very good organization that finally had a vision and strategy/plan under Theo and Jed.  The post Theo years under Jed and now Hawkins have been alright but negatively effected by ownership that is seemingly satisfied with the one title and now more concerned with making mountains of money from Wrigleyville.

That being said, they've still been one of the 5 best teams in the NL over the last decade (Cubs, Brewers, Dodgers, Phillies, Braves) and one of the best 8 in MLB (Astros, Yankees, Red Sox).  Thats pretty enviable, especially considering the previous 70 years.

Brewers are a better run organization, I'll happily and willingly admit that.  What Stearns and Arnold have accomplished is incredibly impressive, probably second best in basebally recently only to the remarkable stretch the Rays front office has had.  But that doesn't mean the Cubs are a joke or their fans shouldn't be boastful, unless they say David Ross was actually a solid manager.

I don't know a single Cubs fan who thinks the Cubs are an incredible organization.  What are you talking about?  Being a Cubs fan is mostly being pissed off at your organization.

I would, however, rather be a Cubs fan than a Brewers fan.  I have seen a World Series winner at least.

So, the Brewers are definitely the Lions, i.e. an occasionally fun and scrappy bunch that never actually wins anything.

No, no, no. The Brewers are the Vikings. You gotta read the whole topic.

I'm talking about Cubs fans apparently thinkin the Brewers are the Vikings.  As if the Cubs are the Patriots.
