Lovable Losers & The Liberals
In honor of toddleduc, a challenge combining two of his favorite themes: The Cubbies and free-spending, never-met-a-government-program-they-didn’t-like U.S. presidents.
Pick a Cubs team that played during the administrations of some of the most liberal leaders who have ever tried to spend America into oblivion while developing a state that Fran Drescher would be proud of (or as the lovely Mrs. toddleduc would put it, some of the presidents most devoted to curing social injustice and bettering the lives of everyone on the planet).
Barack Obama: 2009-10
Lyndon Johnson: 1961-63
Teddy Roosevelt: 1901-09
Jimmy Carter: 1977-81
Woodrow Wilson: 1913-21
Franklin Roosevelt: 1933-45
The challenge will be played in the same manner as the previous challenge, though the pairings for games will be changed. kneeneighbor will be a one-man tribe, and the other two-person pairings will remain the same. kneeneighbor will play four games, and can choose to go with one or two Cubs teams. If he chooses to use just one team, the two SP from games against one opponent may be used again against the other opponent.
Post your selection of a Cubs season from the above years. This time around, the team you pick is yours to use even if someone else chooses the same Cubs season.
