Are the Cubs the most over rated team in baseball?

[Carseller4]

Don't wait until next year......Fire Pinella now, and replace him with Ryne Sandberg.

[mebaran]

talking from a LINE perspective boys...constantly huge favorites and almost always underserving (at home)

Why would you complain about this? Fade them with pleasure and laugh at the great odds you're getting.

You guys should know that lines don't reflect the quality of a team/teams, it reflects the public's opinion. (Money is ALWAYS flowing in on the Cubs. It's possible they may have the most fans worldwide of any mlb team).

...this is all coming from a Cubs fan too. Yes we are a decent to above average team on paper, but that very rarely translates to "real life". Do I think we'll win more than half our games this year? ...barely, if at all.

[milwaukee mike]

good point mebaran

i think taking the road dog in every cubs home game would make you WAY up at the end of the year

the cubs seem to lose quite often as -200 favorites

[Smurf71]

Cubs suck! When did the last won the World Series , was it 1928? Like Charles Barkley said. People still walking around with shirts of Chicago Cubs or NY Knicks... all these shirts must be burned!

OR...we love our town and our teams so much that we don't care..unlike some teams, like the Yankees. If they don't win the world series, it's considered a "fail" by management.

(...and it was 1908, Smurf. 1908... )

[Smurf71]

1908!!! Mary mother of God!!! That was just after the Columbus! But I agree- stick with your team, no matter what. Loyalty matters.

[whatsgood5]

Wouldn't quite call them over-rated

[whatsgood5]

Not as good as I was expecting though to be honest

[Brock Landers]

seriously, the cubs are not good, Arizona may have the worst collection of stiffs in the bullpen that i've ever seen. 1996 Tigers bad

[Brock Landers]

Someone PLEASE tell me how the Cubs are -230 tomorrow vs Pittsburgh! LOL

They are 0-4 Vs Pittsburgh this year, 2-5 When Dempster starts and ARE NOT GOOD. Yet they are over -200 faves. Insanity

I'll say it again, if you bet the Cubs at this inflated line, you deserve to have your prick cut off and stuff in your mouth!

[HoulihansTX]

Cubs are a pile of dogshit.

[jgiun1]

I'm just so happy for Jones and McCutchen sick game Friday.......The only two players that keep me watching the Buccos..and maybe soon to be Alvarez

[antifoil]

i dont know how they could be over rated when i had little hope for them anyway

[Brock Landers]

-230 is retarded! Maholem just beat them a little over a week ago, beat Dempster in this identical matchup

Nice + money play to start the day tomorrow

Pirates are 15-20
Cubs are 15-21

Good luck

[Intuitive_Edge]

No because they suck to being with. Dodgers or Braves imo

mentioned this in the other thread. Its laughable they they are laying -2xx

[Shafted69]

They've been over rated ever since the last time they won it all, which is a very long time. Maybe they'll win again some time in the hundred years or so.

Hey if Padres can sweep SF 2 series in a row the Pirates can sweep the Cubs 2 series in a row. Im taking the Pirates these next 2 days

[raiders32]

Cubs are awful. Their my favorite team. But they are so unpredictable.

[Papaya941]

i see the value play here but you think it holds water against demp? Cubs did almost win today untill shit hit the fan

[HOLLY26]

daydreamers

[tblues2005]

Cubs are plain bad right now. They sure are not very good at all.

[elchampion33]

the cubs are straight trash, if they win 85 games thats a great season for them, **** the cubs... yeah im a white sox fan lol

[Sawyer]

Cardinals & Cubs.. Over rated!!

[Brock Landers]

if you laid -200+ on the Cubs today, STOP GAMBLING IMMEDIATLY!!

[remmy358]

as long as people keep betting them, they'll stay favored...

[Cosmo213]

The books must be making huge $$$ on these massive favs losing...

[Bigcheez]

Pirates are my new favorite team. Same number of wins as the Cubs, yet +200.

[19th Hole]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I couldn't agree more. Have you been to Wrigley lately??
The only thing dumpier than the building are the fatass
knownothing fans.
My new favorite team is whomever is playing the Cubs!

I fly the blue flag with the white "L" after every Cubs loss.
it's getting tattered, in this, it's first season!!

[stealthyburrito]

really? how many times is this going to happen to the cubbies? what an embarrassment

[stealthyburrito]

fading the cubs so far would have been immensely profitable.

[daneault23]

The Cubs just suck. End of story. It seems like they should do good with the names they have, yet continue to underperform day after day. Let's see if they get swept again by the Pirates tomorrow. I sure as hell am not bettin on the Cubs.

[Brock Landers]

Cubs -230 AGAIN LOLOL

[bigsmitty]

Cubs -230 AGAIN LOLOL

Definitely grossly overrated but the following keeps the line inflated. Not sure how much Pitt may win by tomorrow though-could be important to a wager. Cheers
