How could they lose /sp/?
wasn't also a prediction for 2015 in back to the future about the cubs?
>>67476820
Doesn't count cuz of the leap year. Prediction lines up with calendar days. Prove me wrong
They'll lose in the WC game
>>67476971
>implying they'll be a wc team after this start
because it's not going to happen.
The line up the Cubs have this season is Top Tier. The only way things could go wrong is if we don't believe in them
>>67476996
How can you say that? Do historical trends mean anything? A 24-6 start?
>inb4 m-muh historical trend of losing for a century.
>>67477036
I go by mascots, and the Cubs have a weak-ass mascot
Name a single champion team that didn't have a bomb-ass mascot.
>protip: you can't
>>67477014
My only concern really is the middle rotation.. not that they havent been effective (talk about Sundays game).. but they have shown some question marks and i honestly think the difference between us taking it all this season and flopping is gona be whether grimm, richard, cahill, wood etc. Decide to show up in october
>>67477092
I dont even care for the cubs mascot. Clark wasnt a thing when i was a kid so he doesn't exist to me. That being said, yankees dont have a mascot
>>67477156
Their team is a slang term for any American. All of the U.S. of A. is their mascot. God bless

>>67476847
kek you faggot, Back to the Future predicted it and was wrong, as everyone knew it would be.
>>67477238
No cuz multiple leap years. Do the math idiot. Then kindly kys
>>67477271
the prediction was for a specific year, not for "x years into the future", shit-for-brains.
>>67477349
Believe what you want. But look at the present and tell me honestly tell me the cubs dont look legit. If you watch baseball you can't.
>>67477408
the Cubs didn't win the WS in 2015. you're a moron, case closed
>>67476971
They won't win the pennant ever again, ever
>>67477434
When did i say they did?
Do you even watch baseball? Cuz I'll talk about baseball all day if you want but you sound like you don't know much.
>>67477454
What makes you think that?
>>67477460
thought you were the same guy as >>67477271
with the leap year argument
>>67477645
I like baseball and saying stupid shit.
I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK - I AM BACK
>>67477645
>>67477747
But if someone's argument is as dumb as it won't happen cuz back to the future was wrong then no shit im gona give a stupid response cuz those people are onviously not interested in a serious talk
>>67476738
>cusb actually getting past the mest in the NLCS
>>67476738
>implying they won't get swept by the lolevenyears in the cs
>>67478167
>still holding on to a series from last season knowing you dont have a shot this year
Its funny how mets fans are so quick to bring up the nlcs but seem to have forgotten all about the world series.
>>67478204
Oh yeah how's the back of the rotation doing for you guys?
No i like my chances in 7 game series against the jints.
>>67476738
>mfw they get swept by the superior Chicago team
>>67478222
mest fans dont forget their losses bro. i mean when the mets staff all get their shit on gear, good luck hitting against them
>>67478301
I'll give you the fact that you have better 1,2 starters and your bullpen probs has the slight edge down the road. But cmon.. you honestly think you could outhit our offense right now no matter the starter match up?
>inb4 somshit about our bats going cold last year in the nlcs
>>67478248
>lincecum won't be comeback player of the tear
>heston won't get good
>>67478350
>putting faith in lincecum to save your struggling pitching
>>67478335
it was teh same last series. lol the mets offense was way worse on paper against the cusb in the playoffs last year but they still pulled it off. im sure the cusb will destroy the mets pitching in the regular season again this time but hoping they get at it in the playoffs again
>>67478413
I said inb4....
>>67478335
>Go 8-0 against the Mets in the regular season
>Go 0-4 against the Mets in the postseason
you really want to talk about bats not going cold?
>HURR DURR THAT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN
The modern playoff structure is an inherently luck based format and regular season performance has little correlation with WS titles

>>67478465
Lel i really can't say anything to that can i? I mean I'm fully aware of what happened and I dont think this team will let that happen again. But that's not something i can really argue about...
Thats why i said inb4... what the fuck
>>67478492
Seriously though, how often does the "worse" team on paper move on. Probs way more than other sports.
>fuckin one game wc really shows which team is an allaround deeper and more complete ball club. Kek
