The Cubs All-time team is a lot of all-time crap
The team is so bloated and poorly chosen that of course it's the Cubs
If you haven't heard, this is the 150th year of the Chicago Cubs. Well, sorta. They weren't the Cubs until 1904, but the 122nd anniversary doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
My good friends at Marquee conducted a fan vote of paint chip eaters who live in motor homes with gas leaks to help them pick an unwieldy All-150 Cubs team.
They picked 40 players, and if you thought because it's a team honoring the entire history of the franchise that it would be heavily weighted to the first 50 years of the franchise when they were usually always good and occasionally dominant, you'd be wrong. Great dead players can't hold a candle to mediocre guys still around to kiss some Ricketts' ass.
You immediately knew this wasn't a serious exercise when they started by announcing the NINE outfielders who made the team. Nine? Why stop there? Why not make it even more resemble a real team by picking 50 of them?
