The Cubs are closer in the standings to the Cardinals than to the Brewers. They’re also down to the second wild card.

I think people would have embraced Counsell back a little bit had we not just dominated after he left and have an even brighter future without him. At the end of the day he never made a World Series here and his success isn’t that impressive when we don’t miss a beat when he leaves.

The fact fans said ‘F you’ and then he proceeded to be lil bro in 2nd place year after year really cemented in the ‘F you’ as being deserved.

Counsell’s odd comments now and then just come off as bitter. Funny thing is, he probably is. Gave up his hometown hero legacy to sell his soul to a large market thinking he was doing something. Now he looks dumb always having to look up to see his former team in the standings trying to avoid another double digit deficit.

 

 

Money talks. I’m sure Counsell has no regrets resetting the market for manager salary.

Never cared that Craig left. Funny watching us own him, but I didn't care. The only thing I thought was cringe was him pretending he did it for the Managers of Baseball Labor Union and not just because he simply likes having a lot of money, lol.
