    So lets look at The Cubs situation.

    They have a shortstop and a 1st baseman locked into long term deals....Neither hit over .245 this year.
    They have a pitcher locked into a long term deal, who lost 18 games this year.
    They need a 3rd baseman
    A second baseman who can hit his weight.
    A left fielder
    A center fielder
    A right fielder.
    4 starting pitchers (Samargarine is a bust out)
    2-3 middle relievers.
    And a closer.

    But have no fear.
    Girardi is our new savior!
    I couldn't agree with you more. But I do think Rizzo and Castro will be all perennial all stars. And Junior Lake could be good. But yea, the team is a mess.

    Castro IMO won't be an all star until he loses his fn attitude. He should also be playing second, not short. Terrible glove, inconsistent arm, bad decision maker in the field. I would be more ok with a SS that hit .240 if he was a great fielder.
    Rizzo could be ok but he needs to hit to all fields more consistently and focus on putting the ball in play more than swinging for the fence.

    So what do you think?

    Mr. Theo canned Mr. Sveum thinking he was going to land Girardi.
    And that was never even close to happening.
    Girardi had NO intentions whatsoever of coming to manage the mess we have here in Chicago.

    Nice job Theo.

    i did, it made me remember why i stopped rooting for the cubs. life is full of tragedy and sports is a good distraction. teams' success ebbs and flows. they usual have their ups and downs but with the poor cubs, it's only downs. that's why i couldn't root for them after 03, i learned my lesson. but bless you for sticking with them

    After the Brad Ausmus hire, the Cubs are officially the last MLB team without a manager

    This sucks. WGN is why they have a national fan base. Sadly it's about money, not tradition and trying to keep your national fan base. Those of us across the country that are already fans will stay fans, but the next generation of fans won't be cubs fans unless they live around Chicago, just sad.

    Sounds about right. ugh!
