Well, the Cubs officially played themselves out of the playoffs with the Rockies clinching a wild card playoff spot over them last night. They had a putrid season to say the least for the expectations that they had coming in. The last two years they have made it to the playoffs and got swept in the first round after being arguably the best team in the national league both of those seasons. This year they don't even make the playoffs. Absolutely pitiful. 
The Milton Bradley experiment was an complete failure. The Cubs basically traded a guy in Mark DeRosa last winter who is the ultimate team player for MB who is completely the opposite. I think he single handedly tore the team chemistry apart this year. Please dump this clown during the offseason. That was a $30 million well spent.I have also had enough of Alfonso Soriano. If the guy isn't on the DL with some kind of injury he is busy playing terrible defense in left field. I had no problems with Soriano before this year but he was incredibly bad. Maybe they should send him back to the AL so he can be a DH to keep him away from playing in the field.
I always have high hopes for the Cubs every year as everyone knows. It would be nice for them to make a run one of these years. At least win a playoff game please????? Sweet Lou work your magic for the Cubs for once please.
Jim Hendry needs to makes something happen this offseason. Hopefully the new owner will come in and let him do what needs to get done. Bring in some team guys. They don't need the big money, big names guys. Bring in a RBI guy, DeRosa, and a legitimate lead off man. Please.
ITS GONNA HAPPEN 2010!! right?
