To all GM's ,, This is what happens to you when you keep non MLB talent like Martinez on rosters

Eventually it was going to cost someone dearly and it was Indians

sucks for the true cubs fans because now every cubs "fan" will be labeled a bandwagoner

was hoping the tribe would win but it was clear who the better team was

Seeing Coco cry sucks, but at least he's won a ring.

I only feel sorry for the Indian fans really...the Indian players have nothing to be ashamed of. Nobody thought they'd get this far with a decimated pitching staff.

Go Cubs Go!

They literally couldn't have done it any other way.

Between the Red Sox and the Cubs, Theo Epstein can pretty much waltz into the HOF.

Legit don't understand how a guy like that could be on a postseason roster competing in the WS and hitting in the final AB of game 7.

Congrats though Cubs fans.

Well it doesn't help two of their outfielders were hurt and suspended all season (Brantley/Byrd) and they traded Frazier who was on the cusp of the big leagues in the Miller deal. But yeah a guy like that shouldn't even get 500 MLB AB's in the first place.

the craziest thing to me throughout all this is how epstein was part of both the '04 sox and the '16 cubs

pretty unbelievable

They might as well just vote him in now, don't even wait till he retires which might be thirty years away anyway.
