Thanks to the posters


In the recap threads, many have thanked Al and the frontpage staff. Very well deserved and I join that.

I am writing to thank the posters here. They are why i make BCB my go-to place for Cubs information and discussion. The amount of research and creative thinking they do is incredible. It would not be BCB without you all.

A word about two posters. I have had a beer at times with MikeJW and, if other folks did, I doubt they would be quite so critical. I enjoy Mike's posts. It probably is not wrong to consider them on the gloom side of the posting continuum but they are factually supported and it is clear Mike loves the Cubs. Kudos also to him for refusing to make it about him as he ignores some of the cheap shots taken at him. Just like it has been a long season for the Cubs it has been for fans and some of the back and forth was to no one's credit.

I assume I would feel better about his posts if I had a beer with resident curmudgeon Easy Ed (aka EZ the Looser-please don't ever quit betting sports) unless that yell at the clouds guy truly is he and he brings it into the bar when we have our beer.

Time to take off for a bit and get involved in a week or two with discussions about the Cub's bright future although always room for improvement. By then, I expect the Hot Take Meatballs will have faded away. One note on that is my opinion that the good posters spend too much time with those clowns (I admit I responded at time to KubsKatoKalein or whatever his handle is). I tried to stop responding to trolls 25 years ago. It is true that responses to trolls often are informative and interesting; I also grudgingly enjoy when they are put in their place.

Was it a great season? I think so but agree there is room for a contrary opinion. I certainly enjoyed it and treasure my time at Wrigley in 2018.
