Very excited to see Taker do more than just WM.  How much can he do?  Hoping he can do what Brock does.  That would be great.

They may not be that far behind.  You are talking about two top 20 pitchers the past three seasons.

I'll even give away a sports card prize to the winner.   Here are my guesses     Positional Yoenis Cespedes - Marlins Mark Trumbo - White Sox Edwin Encarnacion - BlueJays Jose Bautista - Rangers Ian Desmond - Angels Carlos Beltran - Retires Matt Wieters - White Sox Mike Napoli - Red Sox Josh...

Their starters average 5 1/3 per start on the season.

Don't tell me you forgot that the White Sox are a team in Chicago too?

No they wouldn't.  They were not in first all season long.

Career wise, yes, 2016...he's an ace

No doubt the Packers are up there.   I don't think you'll get enough folks to like the Yankees over the Cubs let alone the Cowboys. 

Absolutely.  There are teams that folks love for love or hate sake

Yes it is relative and the Yankees aren't even the game of the week.   Yes the Cowboys are on more than any other tv nationally.  In Chicago you don't need NFL ticket and you almost always get all 16 games.

Given that the Cowboys are always on national television and the Yankees are not, I don't think they are.  I'd put the Yankees right behind the Cubs.

Way to change the topic completely in a baseball thread no less.   but if you want to expand that, the most popular team is the Dallas Cowboys

Uh first off those last two are not baseball teams.   And yes they are a bigger cash cow than the Yankees.  The cubs are far and away the most popular team in baseball.  Perhaps all sports but that I am not sure.   Duke basketball a cash cow?  I'm a Duke fan and even I know they bring in less...

Well, it's the Cubs after all.  Arguably the biggest cash cow on the planet

Not at all.  That play into the stands is iconic nationally

It's a strategy, but not a very good one.  losing a game on one pitch > than losing a lead on one pitch

Not for non boston fans it isn't.

We shall see.  I predict he'll not get a vote.

  He won't get a first place vote and rightly so.

It's because they've been blown out quite a bit in losses.  However, you look, at the Rangers record against the best teams and they are 29 over .500.  The rest of the teams that are over .500 against the same are only 38 games over combined!
