First off, your math is pretty bad (2003-1945 = 58 years). He also mortgaged the team's future for that one playoff run and crippled the Cubs going forward. Oh, and he's an awful manager. But yeah, we're sad. OH I'M SORRY. He took the Cubs the deepest into the playoffs in 58 years, and won their first playoff series in 100 years. My bad. He didn't cause Alou, Lofton, Sosa, Karros to be old and Alex Gonzalez to be bad. Kerry Wood was doomed to get hurt. Prior? Hopefully he learned his lesson, lol.
