    Joe Maddon is not getting fired. Period.

    And they never led by 20. I think it was 14 at one point.

    My sources telling me Maddon crumbling under the pressure. Like all Cub managers either under curse pressure.

    His hair is falling out in tufts

    Maybe he just needs MORE petting Zoo and Pajama parties

    What world are you guys living in where the Cubs don't make the playoffs? Is this your first time watching an MLB season? EVERY TEAM goes through droughts. They'll win the divison, but even if they don't they'll be 1 of 2 wild cards. Stop overreacting. Or take your fandom out of it.

    Playoffs don't matter neither does a wildcard berth. This team was the WS fav by a mile and they built a massive lead so yeah it's WS or bust

    Like Archie says the pressure is getting to Maddon and he's ageing faster than George W in that Cubs uniform. The curse will do that so will your team getting exposed as the season went on starting with that Cardinals series. Even if they get to the playoffs no way they can hang with the Elite pitching staffs in the Playoffs as the Cubs staff is attrocious. Just look at what the Mets did to them last year

    No, it's not. This is a team with a young controlled core and more talent in the pipeline. And they will have financial flexibility. This team wasn't built for this year alone. It was built for the next 3-5 seasons. It is not WS or bust.

    I didn't say playoffs was even an accomplishment. But pavy was saying how if Maddon misses playoffs he's fired when there's just no chance they miss the playoffs.

    MLB playoffs like with NFL playoffs is all about who gets hot. Best team doesn't always win. Any team that gets into the playoffs has a chance to win it all. The Dodgers almost took out the Mets. And was it the Astros that blew the series against the Royals? That's the 2 world series teams right there... Gotta get hot and need some luck to win the world series.

    If you faded Jake every game since I started this thread risking $100 you'd be up

    $884

    if you timed it perfectly and started the fade on May 26, you'd be up $1,484

    Cubs suck, they're a front running team, their no.1 problem is their pathetic offense that never comes through in the clutch. They're the Lebron James of baseball.

    Lebron just won a title, like the Cubs will.

    One month left in the season and Arrieta is one of the favorite to win back-to-back Cy Young Awards.

    If you were just to read this thread you'd think he was stealing a paycheck and belongs in the minors.

    NL pitchers who have won B2B Cy Youngs:
    Koufax
    Maddux
    Big Unit
    Lincecum
    Kershaw

    Even his last game his command was terrible. Walks and he'd get bailed out by his amazing defense. Lester is the only ace on that team, if he goes down they have no shot. Arrieta is done.

    My bad, forgot about Hendricks. Hammel is another softie, guy loses his shit anytime he's not at Wrigley, then pouts when Joe tries to salvage the game.
