There should be a fangraphs win probability chart but it tracks at which point in each playoff series that cubs fans gave up.

Honoured to accept the world series MVP due to the famous "Chexoid's Blessing" having a perfect 3-0 record. Everyone here deserves it though these guys are grinders. Thanks to God for giving me the strength to post extremely well.

I know all fan bases are in their own way terrible but it seems like no one whines like Cardinals people.

How are you so weepy about the Cubs that you write an article for Time about how sad you are.

Man. I must have been not paying much attention but I guess Mark Trumbo's defence was especially vile this year. How do you hit 47 dingers and end up with less WAR than Darwin Barney.

MLB trade rumours pegs the Jays as getting Bautista and Kendrys Morales, which sounds Okay To Me, but I kind of doubt it considering it runs contrary to Ross Atkins' whole "Speed, Versatility, and Platoon Advantages" plan. That sounds like Reddick or Fowler, to me.

Edit: I forgot Morales is a switch hitter which makes more sense for that.

I can't belive I'm saying this, but I actually kind of have faith in Shapiro and Atkins that this is a good move. Happ loving won 20 games.

Clearly you have Fowler in a RF spot and some of CF, Pillar in CF but covering most of LF, and Morales in LF when Edwin needs a day to DH.
