Bet 90% of the non-Cubs fans pulling for the Cubbies to see history are now gonna turn against them like the IWC turned on John Cena in 2005 if they're making a deep playoff run again next year.

The scary thing about the Cubs is that Theo could take the entire winter off and still have the best team in the NL heading into 2017. Fowler and Chapman are the only players they might lose to free agency, everybody else is signed or not even into arbitration years yet. Oh and they won 103 games in the regular season without Schwarber, so it's gonna be like they signed a big time bat in the offseason anyway.

Funnily enough, two of the best managers in the game partook in the worst managed game I've ever seen.

It's a shame that Leicester City didn't get their own WWE Championship.

Game 7 ended up being the most watched Wold Series game since 1991 and the series itself since 2004.
In terms of curses/droughts, NFL's Cardinals took over the Cubs as the new longest title drought while NBA's Kings took over the other Cubs record for new longest championship game drought. |

10 innings...Cubs scored 8 runs. It's 108 years since their last title.
That's odd at least to me. |

Trade Zach Britton for Jason Heyward in another lopsided trade ala Strope and Arietta for Feldman and Clevenger

Maybe they should get Napoli too. They love strikeout or home run guys.

You could have Heyward too who is a strikeout, groundout or weak flyout guy.

Supposedly they know what's wrong, but it will require a total breakdown and reconstruction of his swing which is something they couldn't do this late in the season.

I'd expect a bounce back from Heyward next year. He was overpaid even before this season, but he's still a legit big league hitter and he's young. Not unreasonable to expect him to turn it around.

He would be considered for a gold glove if....Backwards baseball logic....he were better at the plate.
He was a plus defender that actually outweighed his hitting, if you can believe that, to make him good. He might have been a chump at the plate but he never took it into the field. He won't be considered overpaid if he does what he's been doing his whole career, save for this season. |

Nah he was nowhere near worth what he was paid this year. I have to think he'll be better offensively next year but this year he was a black hole in the lineup.
If he reverts to form next year he and Schwarber would be like signing 2 big bats. Cubs could be even more ridiculous next year. |

Indians picked up the option years in Francona's contract which now lasts till 2020. Also picked up the option year for Carlos Santana worth $12 million.

I don't remember anyone saying he was crazy. Bought them super cheap I thought. You don't make money really unless you swindle a city/county/state on a stadium or taxes or the old fashioned way - spending money to create a winner which nets you tons of cash.

Only to make sure he doesn't become a free agent. He's still retiring.
