I’m all in on whoever comes out of the AL, obviously.

But I would rather see the Dodgers win a 10-peat before the Brewers win one. Their fanbase is already annoying as shit. Add a trophy to that and they’ll be intolerable.

Same. I know the pain that comes with seeing the Dodgers win, I don't want to experience the pain of seeing the Brewers win.

Why do we hate the Dodgers again? I don’t understand why people are even conflicted about not rooting for the Brewers

u/DependentOnIt 2d ago

They have the highest payroll and have competent coaching. So everyone hates their guts

u/WarmAd911 2d ago

Ah yeah that makes sense to hate teams that try

The dodgers are the 'We want to buy wins' team, so most other fans dislike them because its a bit scummy. Especially for the teams that wont shell out for good teams and have their talent stolen by the dodgers.

Personally im ok with them since they took Tucker from us, imagine if we had resigned him. Probably would have missed playoffs entirely

Isn’t that what we beg the Ricketts to be?

One one hand, the Dodgers lost. On the other hand, the Brewers won.

Let's go Rays?

Let's go Rays. Or Guards. I'd be cool with them winning too.

I watched the last few innings of NLCS Game 1 last night and I couldn’t even decide who I wanted to win. This sucks.

u/DestinyArrivess 2d ago

I can't stand this bullshit "underdog" gimmick of the Brew Crew. They've become insufferable with it. I want to see the Dodgers lose more than them, but I hope to God they lose to the Rays in the World Series.

u/Plus-Pomegranate8045 2d ago

Any comment that doesn’t glaze them on the mlb and baseball subs is downvoted into oblivion. It’s pretty nauseating. They are never going to get rid of that annoying victim complex.

u/Yetis22 2d ago edited 2d ago

My toxic fan-hood take is that I don’t want anyone to win it besides the cubs. So when a team like the dodgers are going for 3. I’ll cheer for them. Because in my fucked head, I want the cubs to be the one to stop the bad man. Oh and because fuck the brewers.

Secondly - I don’t want small salary cap teams winning because I don’t want the Ricketts to get any ideas. Previously in the Ohtani sweepstakes Jed referenced the Rays can win without spending. That type of mindset disgusts me given the differences of fanbases. We aren’t the rays fans. We are cubs fans. This is not an apples to apples comparison. Spend the money that cubs fans are willing to spend on the team.

u/WarmAd911 2d ago

Yes! I have that petty fandom of “if I can’t be happy no one can!” And wind up hoping the Dodgers or Yankees win lol.

Also unfortunately the only team that doesn’t have a low payroll anymore is the team going for the 3 peat

u/OkFlow4327 1984 Cubs Fan 2d ago

random cubs thought - do you think Dansby Swansons friends and relatives refer to him as Dan? Like when they see him do they say 'Hello Dan' or 'Hello Dansby'?

1

u/iski67 2d ago

Isn't Dansby like his mom's maiden name? I thought I heard it was a surname or something. I think it's technically his middle name isn't it?

u/COOP89 2d ago

Ahh so this is what it’s like. Victory and touching distance and then fall back down to earth

u/Maleficent_Author853 #FlyTheW 2d ago

The Guards aren’t rolling over. Jose is locked in.

u/Hope4years 2d ago

I have never been able to enjoy watching postseason games that the Cubs aren’t in. I tried again tonight - nope.

Hey gang - I'm willing to pitch in $100 to buy Drew Rasmussen for the Cubbies. Who's with me?!?!?

1

u/CuriousCubSixteen Baaah 2d ago

He won't be a free agent. He has a 8m team option that will most definitely be picked up.

u/HighColonic 2d ago

I'm stepping away from literalism here...I'm pie in the skying...Can a boy dream??? I was just talking in the moment. Which is no longer the moment.
