00:00As a Sox fan, as a Chicago sports fan that has dealt with so many teams that have been bad
00:05over the last couple of seasons,
00:06when I see the Cubs who have a good team, have good pitching, GMs out here making moves for them,
00:12and then I look and see Cubs fans complaining, it's just like, I'm like, are you just miserable?
00:17Do you want to be miserable? Are you truly the cynic that we say Chicago fans are in these moments?
00:23Because even the narrative that we're, the angle that we have right now for this Cubs team in the last
00:29couple of games,
00:30is like, why are we talking like this about the Cubs?
00:32This is a team that will still, that should still win the end of Central, that still should make a
00:35deep playoff run,
00:36and like, yes, should, I said should, I didn't say will, I said should.
00:39Do you think they should still win the Central?
00:41Yes, they still should win the Central.
00:44What Cubs fans are going to sit up here and be like, no, we're destined for second place in this
00:48thing.
00:48They think with this team, even though Cade Horton's out for the season.
00:52I mean, I think that's the biggest thing.
00:53I think with Cade Horton being out for the season and not knowing where to—
00:56You're going to get steel back.
00:57Oh, oh, boo-hoo, Cubs fans.
00:59You get another guy who was supposed to be your ace coming back into your starting rotation.
01:03I do not feel bad for them in that sense.
01:06Again, they get to replace these arms with other arms.
01:08Their team is good enough one through nine.
01:10When you're looking at baseball, that in itself, especially in the NL Central, is a recipe to at least be—
01:16Wait, hold on.
01:16Are we having a conversation as to whether or not the Cubs are winning the NL Central right now?
01:20Is that where you're positioning yourself at, that that's not the case?
01:23I don't know that they'll win the NL Central.
01:25The NL Central's a lot tougher than people give it credit for.
01:27That was the case last year when I told people before the season started,
01:30Oh, by the way, three teams will come out of the NL Central and go to the playoffs.
01:33And people are like, Nah, the NL West.
01:35I was like, Okay.
01:36And then the Reds, were they in the playoffs last year?
01:39The Cubs, were they in the playoffs last year?
01:40The Brewers, were they in the playoffs last year?
01:42All right, cool.
