If this gets any more oPToated, it will start asking for suspects for the missing Malibu.

I'm not even acknowledging the abortion that was the colossaly disappointing 4 HOFer Durocher-Era teams.

W            L            PCT.          GB
Cubs 1967-1975                  733        716            .506          ---
Cubs 2003-2011                  733        723            .503          3.5
Cubs 1984-1992                  721        730            .497          13

The Durocher Cubs also got fat on bad expansion teams to pump their wins & losses. Fact is, the closest they ever came to the postseason was 1970, when they finished in second, 5 games back. They were also 5 back in 1973, but they were in 5th place in the worst sprint to the finish line ever.

Fork, is your name Huey?

Let's look at it another way. Since the "end" of the Korean War (by 1953, things were back to normal in baseball), the Cubs have played 6 complete decades:

The Cubs from 1983-1992 were far superior to the 03-12 Cubs.

TJ's jut trying to make this more about Sutcliffe and Sandberg than Zambrano and Ramirez.

Racist.

God damnit, Fork.

Position for position, 1969 was the best Cub team in my excessively long lifetime.  (Including two world Series teams)  1984 was the best pitching staff.

This argument is depressing.

Also I demand that one of these eras take responsibility for the 1998 team.

Mark Chicago will always love you , we feel you gave us a 11 0% when you pitched for us You and Woods where special in our hearts and still are. I hope the Cubs offer a position with the organization. But what happens in your life we hope you and your family the best. Thank you for the thrills you gave us and us who are old enough to remember you always felt that if you were not injured you would have been a Hall of Famer. Good luck in the future and we hope for the best for you

I still don't understand why giving eleven percent is considered special.

Ha.  I thought the same thing too.  Might as well be a period where the space is.

[J. Walter Weatherman]

Might as well be a period where the space is.

Then it would really say 11 instead of 110!

In this instance, I'd support one of those schmaltzy one-day contracts so he can retire for the organization that ruined his career.

Dusty's available, too.  What a nice event that would be.
