The Chicago Cubs have not won a World Series in 102 seasons and they have
Cy winners, MVP winners, fireballing young pitchers, a guy hitting almost
70 homers in a season, a guy who has hit 400 batting average in a season,
a curse by a goat, and a black cat running across Shea stadium since their
last appearance in the World Series.
With all these things happening the Cubs they have not been in a World
Series since Billy Sianis and his goat were kicked out of Wrigley Field
during game 4 of the world series in 1945 and Billy said "Cubs will never
win again". Ferguson Jenkins and Rick Sutcliffe have both won CY youngs as
Cubs and Andre Dawson also won the MVP on one of the worest teams in
history and later even had a great picher in Mark Maddux who had a 20 win
season and no playoffs. Also having fireballers like Kerry Wood and Mark
Prior did help them win their first playoff series in 85 years and if it
was not for fan Steve Bartman reaching over the wall and taking a ball
Moses Alou may have caught and the Marines won the series and then won the
World Series just helps their lovable losers status. The Cubs over the
years have brought in high priced talent as well but did not use their
money smartly on players like Carlos Silva, Carlos Zambrano, Aramis
Ramirez, Kosuke Fukudome, Alfonso Soriano and this shows that maybe they
should get a better GM like the Red Soxs did to help themselves finally
winning a world Series after 86 years of not winning a World Series.
This is uncut because the Cubs are a storied franchise as they are the
loveable losers and I beleive that the Cub fans need to take a step back
from Wrigley field until the Cubs put together a team that is as good if
not better than everybody else in the NL Central and can be able to
chellenge all the other teams in the NL playoffs. This could happen by
going out and getting the best free agents like the Yankees and Red Soxs
do or get very good scouting and build from the farm up like Oakland and
the twins have done for years and then at some point maybe bring in the
right free agent at the right time.
