I'm not sure what the Cubs can do. Its not like they are that young. Derek Lee is getting old and not performing like he used to. Aramis Ramirez for 2 straight years have not hit 30 HR's. Soriano, I used to like him and give him the benefit for the doubt. 32, getting older and not anymore. Fukudome is horrible! Theroit is not any everyday SS. Weak slap hitter. I like DeRosa but he is going to be 34 as well, can he have the same year he did this year? This was the year and they flippin sucked. I used to be the most optimistic Cub fan. Never letting a few loses get to me because I always felt the Cubs would be there in the end. Not anymore, I am going to go into next season with zero expectations and really going to expect them to lose. I'm going to support the Bears this season but since I love the Cubs and baseball so much this really really hurts. I really don't see them winning anything anytime soon.
