So do you think they may have a chance there? Or am I being too optimistic?

Check Jackie Robinson West's roster. They're pretty stacked.

A Cub bubble?

Bettors putting heavy cash on Chicago Cubs in Las Vegas

A couple of excerpts that made me snicker:
"The Chicago Cubs are a longtime running joke among Las Vegas bookmakers: "You know how many casinos have been built on bets on the Cubs to win the World Series?""

""Every year, they bet the Cubs," Jeff Stoneback, assistant manager at MGM race and sports. "I could be their ace and you could be their No. 2 starter, and they'd still bet them.""

Personally, I don't claim that the Cubs won't win the S this year. I am not betting on that to happen, however.

Also, if this thread is supposed to replace the old Daily Thread, doesn't it need to stay at the top of the page?

ive said this all offseason

clay is going to have a career year

hes 30, tons of ? marks..and hes a FA after the season. he watched lester rake in the dough...if he turns in a solid to great year, he may too.

there should be less 'pussy' in the guy this year.

overall? the rotation to me is ok...not great, ok.

the pen?

absolute disaster...its going to kill this team.

I drafted Buttholz to my fantast team last night based on your assessment.

Actually, I've had him a bunch over the years. Besides occasionally being an amazing pitcher, his name is also great for innuendo fantasy team names such as I Fielder Buchholz.

It always keeps Cards-Cubs ticket prices high, too, except for the obvious reason being a rival and all. Unless somehow the Cubs are threatening to win the division, Ill watch my Cards-Cubs on ESPN or FoxMidwest and Ill buy tickets to something cheap like Cards-Braves

i just think he has so much to make or lose based on this year...and outside of things he cant control...its all on him.

I think it's just fun to have out there. There's a convention I go to in Vegas every spring and I usually put $50 on the Indians to win the World Series.

I agree. If he's ever going to get his head screwed on right and put in maximum effort, I would think this would be the season.

I can see that.

With my luck, if they ever actually did win, I'd probably have lost the ticket.

After last year's playoffs, I dont think I could ever bet on a favorite winning the World Series

Trying to predict the MLB playoffs before the season (or even at the end) is a fools errand.

Given the fact that the best team in baseball in any given season usually doesn't win the World Series, there's really no logical way to pick.

Last year was particularly crazy, though. The two teams that made the World Series weren't even the best teams in their divisions.

Every playoffs is different, too. Last year was all about relief pitching and late rallies. The year before was all about pitching as a whole and really low averages. Its also impossible to predict when a player is going to have a historic performance, too. Ive lost so much vcash on this board because the Cardinals have been good but not good enough to win a WS the past two years
