2012 Chicago Cubs

[PenPho]

The Cubs are no longer the dumbest team in baseball.

Greenberg recently played for Israel in the World Baseball Classic qualifying round in Jupiter, September 19-23, walking in his only plate appearance.

The Mets should IBB him.

Or just hit him in the head.

I thought it would complete the non-at-bat trifecta.  HBP, BB, IBB.

The Other Three True Outcomes.

It's just nice to know there are owners like Jeffrey Loria, who are there do the the right thing.

My uninformed opinion.  Loria is Jewish.  Yesterday was Yom Kippur,  the day when Jews are required to ask forgiveness from those whom they have wronged.  To atone is to make things right.  I believe that this was a Yom Kippur gesture since it was a Marlins pitcher who ended the major league career of Adam Greenberg, and turned his career into an anecdote.  Greenberg, is Jewish.  But that should have nothing to do with the obligation.   I approve of the gesture.

OR...

It's a complete publicity stunt by a owner who's team has had an amazingly disappointing season after working with MLB to bully the taxpayers into a new stadium and he's hoping this will win him at least a modicum of goodwill among the community (many of whom, being South Floridians, may see the charm in a Jewish owner extending an opportunity to a Jewish ballplayer - who even plays for Israel in the WBC!!! What a nice man, his mother must be so proud. What can't our Isaac be more like him?)

I think Pen asks a good question.  Who IS team?  Could a owner tell us, perhaps?

CT would probably love a good "HELLO, YES, THIS IS TEAM" meme right about now.

I read it as a statement that the OWNER is team.  Many of us often blame the owner for a team's difficulties; Pen is merely taking that to its logical conclusion.

The Cubs are 0-17 against the NL West? Ho Lee Shit.

Seabiscuit's Jockey is drunk.

They're 0-17 AT the NL West, and 11-4 at home vs. the NL West.

If they lose the next 2 in Arizona (which, I understand PenFoe left) and sweep Houston, they'll have 100 losses, but only be 1 under .500 at home.

[World's #1 Astros Fan]

They're going to lose 100 games, aren't they?

Help me out here, are these numbers significant?

I think this is what you meant.
