If the Cubs couldn't hit Charlie Haeger, then expect Chad Billingsley to make this team look like a Little League team.

This is the same Cubs team of last post season with new owners now it's time to blow this heartless team up.

It's not going to be easy to break up this team with all the no trade clauses and horrible contracts that nobody will take on this team. But this team can easily be tweaked. We need to find a SS and move Theriot over to 2nd and we need to improve our bullpen. Obviously these aren't the only changes we need to make but there's not much we can do. We're stuck with Soriano for 4 more years.

The Cubs down fall came against the Marlins when Gregg blowing those two saves this season is over.

This season is way over. The Cardinals are winning again (God forbid they lose 2 in a row) so that puts us 8 back in the NL Central if they hold on. And we're about to go 7 out of the Wild Card. Let's tank for Bryce Harper now

QFT not sure what Cubs can or will do this offseason this team is pretty much stuck with this core which is declining

Jake Fox is one of the few I like on this team.

Cubs score a run and they give up the lead the next inning...sounds about right.

Wow we got 2 breaks. The universe might explode.

Marmol should have been closing all year. That was painless.

Marmol has walked too many batters this year and hasn't been consistent. He has a 1.47 WHIP. Still a better option than Gregg though.

we won, your awesome Jake Fox!

Jake Fox, Aramis, Derrek Lee (for now), John Grabow, and Jeff Baker are pretty much the only Cubs not on my **** list. Sam Fuld and Ryan Theriot are on the fringe.

Lee, Rammy, Bradley to some extent (he's been a solid hitter this year but underwhelming and had a bad roadtrip, but a good 2nd half overall), the whole rotation, Baker, Koyie for his defense and how well he's handled the staff, Grabow, and Guzman are the Cubs I respect this year.
