Jake Peavy, Like Everyone Else, Thinks the Cubs Are Terrible

All, Baseball Tim Ryan June 21st. 2012, 2:05pm

The Chicago Cubs are once again hilariously inept this season, no different from any other year. Thus far in the club’s storied “rivalry” with winning, they maintain a horrific record against, well, pretty much anyone, which inspired pitcher Jake Peavy to shed some honest light on the unfortunate circumstances of dropping the first two of a three-game set against their neighbors.

“I don’t mean any disrespect, but a team playing the way the Cubs have been playing, we have to beat those teams,” Peavy said.

Fittingly enough, Peavy’s comment drew nothing from the Cubs clubhouse. Everyone knows the Cubs are terrible, including the Cubs. While that kind of rare self-awareness is refreshing, it’s pretty pathetic to witness the continued absence of pride oozing from that clubhouse.

Wow, that’s not even close.
As much as I would appreciate that kind of lopsidedness, the overall record is 49-41 White Sox, with a series edge of 9-3-4. Even looking at the last 31 games (7+24), it’s only 19-12 White Sox.

Except its 41-49 in favor of Sox.
But Peavey is correct the Cubs do suck this year.

This is what it is, their record overall in their last 31 games.

This is such a blatantly anti-soccer comment. Who do you think you are?

Can you imagine the ratings for a 31 game baseball season? They’d be huge. Definitely something for MLB to consider

CJ, in the infinite wisdom of the NHL and TSN the awards were tape delayed by about an hour or so, I knew the winners from twitter, so didn’t watch. I’ll try to track down a link to the Arnett thing though.

If he did I guarantee he would get 69 as the number. He absolutely butchered Malkin’s name. Guy is such a dickbag.
Malkin’s Hart speech was hilariously weird. He talked about Sergei Gonchar the whole time in a tone that would suggest Gonchar killed himself last week.
(I didn’t watch the show, only Malkin’s part)

They need to bring out the Canadian actors to pronounce any foreign names, leave the American actors for dudes like ‘Jonathan Quick’. Ryan Reynolds shoulda been there.

The most impressive hockey name butchering is still Ed Olczyk. The guy can’t pronounce “Orpik” and was his damn coach.

I knew I was forgetting a big detail. If the players and owners would just agree to a lockout they could probably save their dying sport. It’s worked for everyone else, ever

Not if you’ve caught a few episodes of Coaches Corner in the last two years. Don doesn’t even try to get them right anymore.

What should annoy you is that it’s still wrong. As given, the sentence still states the Cubs are 7-24 in their last 31 with the White Sox, which is inaccurate. You didn’t fix it with the parenthetical.
