exactly. This was the year, the window is shrinking. This team is old. Lee is declining rapidly, Soriano is going to start declining soon, and we got never-going-to-happen against seasons from Edmonds, Dempster, Theriot, and Derosa. The window was now and they blew it. Just like they always have, and just like they always will. I was a fool for getting my hopes up this season. Never again though. I don't care if the Cubs win 145 games next year. I won't believe they can even get past the 1st round of the playoffs.
