Running 2017 MLB regular season thread

My lack of interest in the Cubs apparently stretches back six years.

Once again, moving the goalposts. How is this relevant to posting this season?

 

I concede that I haven't posted about Ian Happ. Check mate.

 

Lester finished second in the Cy Young voting last season and his ERA is up more than a run this year. The entire staff is struggling relative to last season, not just Arrieta. That is the relevant topic, but you care more about trolling.

Wasn't Arrieta's ERA actually better at the point you started whining about him last year than the 3.40 Hendricks has now? Hell, he actually finished the season with a 3.10 ERA.

The point remains. You're trolling. You do it often. You lack the integrity to just admit it.

 

That's the point, dumb-dumb. I thought something seemed off with Arrieta before the rest of the world caught on. Due to his track record, I'm not concerned about Lester.

 

He took a 3 month sabbatical, that may be a reason why.

 

Having turned 40, I had to take some time to find myself.

 

I never said he wouldn't decline in 2017, but you keep insisting otherwise. Because you troll. A lot.

 

Yet he still managed to post plenty about Arrieta this season. He even started a thread about him, but that didn't get him enough attention.

The story is the Cubs, not just Arrieta.

 

FYI, I think his last name actually has two Ts.

 

Just think how pleasant Dick would be if he waited until July to return.
