I know I have read and heard about what a POS team this Cubs team is after the WS title in 2016. Mostly from Sux fans and the like just giving us grief that we probably won't repeat.

Now I want to make clear I put this in the Cubs section for Cubs fans. They do have nearly 100 games left to play, right?

Can anyone explain to me why Schwarber is so terrible and he gets to keep playing everyday? It's sort of like how Donald Trump gets to keep being president.

TL;DR version: 87 wins, NL East champions, lose in 4 to whoever wins the NL West whenever they get around to facing them (LDS/LCS).

Long version:
As a Cub fan, this team reminds me a little of the 1985 team. A few key injuries, a few declines from career peaks, and they just never got going.

They don't remind me of the 2004 team, because that was a group of arrogant pricks led by the biggest arrogant swinging prick of them all in Dusty Baker, who didn't deserve to win because they were entitled asshole snowflakes. By comparison, the 2017 is a bunch of Mormons.

If they had lost the WS, I don't think that both Strop and Rondon would still be here. The bullpen is structurally deficient, because both Edwards and Uehara are challenged to go back to back nights, and Strop and Rondon are on their downsides and prone to flare-ups. All of this would be ok if the damned starters would go 6 2/3-7 1/3 consistently, but they are not.

All this puts more pressure on young hitters still getting used to the fact that major league pitchers and defensive data-crunching gurus can and will successfully adjust to their tendencies, something that's never happened to them going all the way back to T-ball. Joe can play magic wizard, but that's a lot of kids' hands to hold.

I'm trying to be patient, but I don't see how the pitching staff survives multiple night playoff games in NL West ballparks. At this point, I wouldn't even pull the trigger on bringing in somebody on a July rental, any acquisitions would be for 2018 and anything they give you in 2017 is a bonus.

Pitchers need to get better or the staff needs shoring up.

The hitters will be fine.

Without the pitching, they'll be a quick exit after making the playoffs.

Should still win the division but the magic seems long gone.

Will need to buy 2 quality SPs in the off season.

Leave Montgomery in the rotation the rest of the year.

Dump Rondon.

Yeah, leash has had a rough day. He needs a nice, quiet evening with a couple of Portillo's Hot Dogs and the garage all to himself.

Have you seen the photo of my owner with Jack Brickhouse? Fortunately I was pretty feeble by the time Chet could afford fur coats, so Jack's idiosyncrasies were not an issue. Why would a man have a glass coffee table in his bedroom??

I don't want to hear "injuries" as ANY kind of excuse. They've been very healthy...just very mediocre.
