The "Who's Responsible For This?!?" Thread
« on: October 30, 2016, 01:38:46 PM »
I see a lot of theories out there (and have a few of my own) so I thought we could consolidate everything into one thread.

So, who's fault is all of this?

-Joe Maddon for managing his team the way he has all season
-John Lackey for not being able to pitch more than 5 innings
-Javy Baez for getting hot as shit for 2 weeks and not 3
-Willson Contreras (same as above)
-Kyle Schwarber for being just well enough to give us some hope
-Jorge Soler for not being fast enough to prevent a run or hit an inside the park homer
-Theo Epstein for not being willing to part with Schwarber for Andrew Miller
-Dexter Fowler and Kris Bryant for mostly being a rumor at the top of the order this series
-Jason Heyward for not breaking out
-Joe West because fuck Joe West
-Random chance

Add more as you see fit.

If this were anyone else I'd be kind of shocked that they became Born Again in the thread of a Cubs messageboard.

It's Lackey's fault for getting Schwarber hurt in April.
