Chicago Cubs What Went Wrong?
Every year Chicago Cub fans think this will be the season that will bring them a championship, but this year will not be that year. The Chicago Cubs have struggled around the .500 level most of the year and many factors contributed to this problem. One of the first thing is roster turn over was big coming into the season. The Cubs added Kevin Gregg and Milton Bradley and they have not really paid the dividends they hope for.
Toss in some key injuries to some key players and you have a team that is hovering around the .500 mark. Lou Pinella in my opinion has kept the Cubs in the race for a long time even though most of the year he has not had everyone he has needed. Sale of the Cubs also has breeded some problems as well.
The bottom line for Cubs fans it’s just another wait until next year deal. The Cubs have some good players, but they also have many question marks as well. After the sale is done the new owners will need to decide what direction the Cubs go. This could be crucial to their long term success in the future.
