Sure Hall of Famer someday, if for nothing more than masterminding the Red Sox and Cubs teams that broker their respective curses.

He'll stay with the Cubs for another decade until he get bored of winning and will go to another franchise that is in a major drought.

Teams have lost championships to teams that aren't as good as them. Not an excuse. They choked.
Less talent at every position but second, short and setup man.

They had one excellent starter, one decent one and bullshit. I'm impressed they made it a series.

Not a fluke they lost both games Bauer started. Plus the other one he pitched in. Dude wouldn't have made the Cubs post season roster.

Not sure why you felt the need to get into it because I never said the Cubs weren't the better team?

A choke job is a choke job. Blowing 3-1 is a choke job.

They were out played. Cubs choked the first few games.

The way the played D in the last 3 games, especially game 7, was a complete choke job.

He's like a Billy Beane who works for teams who actually have money.
I think Billy Beane gets too much love just because he was first. He's made some questionable trades.

Cargo and Street for Holliday...

Holliday for um, Brett Wallace?

Russell for Samardzija...

Just off the top of my head

considering what freaking RPs went for, i dont think you can throw Russell for JS in there...

He's probably got a ring if they pull Lester after 7 IP in that wild card game.
