Cubs look to close out the season on a high note
What’s going on Cubs fans? I haven’t been blogging too much lately as I have had some work related issues come up and well I wasn’t just paying enough attention to the team and their games to really have something to talk about. The team has six games left in the 2009 season and with a double header today, things will be over before we even know it. It sure wasn’t the way that we all had thought the season would go but hopefully Jim Hendry and company will make some good moves this offseason and the team will be back in contention in 2010.
So the team is basically playing with a bunch of young guys and the veterans that are playing should probably be sitting on the bench due to nagging injuries. The team has already shut down Alfonso Soriano, Rich Harden, Angel Guzman and Kevin Gregg. They might as well add Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez to that list as both should just rest and let some youngsters play.
Then there is the whole Milton Bradley situation. Right when I heard what happened I told my friends that Bradley was done as a Cub. I don’t care if he wants to come back there is no way the fans would stay off him he would simply not be productive in a Cubs uniform. Lou even said on Tuesday during a press conference that Jim Hendry would be looking for a big bat that can knock in some runs in the middle of the order. He even referenced Bradley’s 40 RBI’s and said that simply wasn’t getting the job done.
So let’s see how these last six games playout and hopefully the team can close out the season on a high note and have something to look forward to in 2010. Before we know it, we will all have our hopes up once again and spring traning will be kicking off. I mean we are Cubs fans afterall.

I am not so confident about a good comeback on 2010. Let`s hope otherwise.
