This post is very realistic, very logical, and it's bumming me out. The Dodgers exposed the flaws in this Cubs' team, although we've been seeing some of the flaws for a while now (Lee's power drought, Fukudome's increasing suckiness and unwillingness to make adjustments at the plate, Harden's velocity drop). The Cubs have needs to address and realistically not a huge bump in payroll to address them with.
