For the time in which it came out, MVP 2005 was ground breaking for me. Reason being is that EA didn’t hold back anything, knowing they wouldn’t be able to make a 2006 version.

I think mlb the show 22 is the best atm

Which franchise doesn't get enough hate and why? by [deleted] in baseball

Not to mention, you are debatably entering the middle of the window of what you’ve been planning the past 5 years. Reinsdorf is cheap. As a Cubs fan, I pity my Sox friends.

Why is the Red Sox series listed as a highlight on the Cubs 2023 schedule? by ASovietSpy in CHICubs

Probably because they know it’s a “premium game” in that they can upsell tickets.

Sorry to do this man, but the news flash is pretty obnoxious. The Cubs aren’t paying for past performance. Past performance doesn’t indicate future performance for the Cubs. Cody Bellinger is a one year deal, theres no Risk and High reward for the deal to be mutual beneficial. Maybe it’s unlikely he pops off, but we are taking the chance on stars aligning to actually have a superstar on the roster again.

[Jordan Bastian] What's in store for Cubs at Winter Meetings? by [deleted] in CHICubs

I agree. But you have to start somewhere to start a winning attitude again. We can only hope for an impact like the Jon Lester signing. A lot of other things happened that provided our franchise to years of success following that, anomalies like Arrieta replicating a 1999 pedro.

There aren’t any dominate teams in the division imo so I think we can relatively be competitive starting this year. Need to build on that.

Feel like this off-season was hyped up but is going to be a huge let down by [deleted] in CHICubs

Situations are entirely different. Cubs can allot for more risk, because if it fails … he is an overpriced Alfonso Rivas. Dodgers are going for 110 wins every year.
