BLou has insisted that the Cubs are a 75-80 win team, taking third place at best. He wants the new owners to change EVERYTHING in the front office, and the team itself. And those of us who are optimistic about the team are fools and morons.

He last posted BEFORE the Cubs won on Friday

So while the Cubs win the BCB is Blou free. Another reason besides the century plus draught to win. It is one thing to be
pessimistic , it is another to relish the Cubs losing and assuming all the players and fans are idiots.
