The 2018 Play Like It's 2016 Cubs

[World's #1 Astros Fan]

This is a strange feeling, but I think I'm about to go full SKO on Chris Gimenez.

That's not how it works.  "Going full SKO" means shitting on players and teams that don't suck.

I spent most of 2015 railing against David Ross, this is included. The Full SKO just covers a lot of anger.

So Chatwood is a mess, Hendricks is in the worst year of his career, Lester's outpitched his peripherals by a significant gap, and Darvish just had another setback in his recovery.

If they can't find a way to get at least 3 good starters going in this mess the talent gap between them and Milwaukee narrows significantly. They may need to trade for some rotation help somehow.

Sounds like the second position change in less than a year is coming for Manny Machado.

The Cubs head into the All-Star break one game behind their 2016 pace. That year they looked like an unstoppable juggernaut. This year they look like they still haven't hit their stride.

They are going to rain hellfire and damnation upon the National League.

And the American League too or are they just going to lose all the interleague games

Houston's the only team I can see the Cubs losing to even if they're playing well at that time.
