Why do the Cubs suck?

Historically poor management, coupled with a psychology of failure derived from years of losing. That is why Baker is a great manager for the Cubs. He is always positive and reenforcing. He is not the most technically skilled manager, but he is what the franchise needs as a manager.\n\nTake away Pujols, Carpenter and Mulder, or Konerko, Buerhle and Garcia, and see how good a manager LaRussa or Guillen would be.\n\nIf anyone is to blame currently, it is the GM Hendry who supplied the roster of mainly under-achieving players. Furthermore, in case no one noticed, this is the first year in many that the CUbs have tried switching to a speed, defense and pitching team. It was working, too, even without Prior and Wood, until Lee went down. Let's see what happens when he gets healthy. They probably won't win it this year, but they will give other teams a very hard time.

they can, but they already won the series so it wouldnt be the end of the world if they lost.  Cubs players already showed how little class they have this series

No, essentially because of their weak starting pitching staff. Brandon Webb is superb, but currently their other 4 have been extremely inconsistent. Their offense is solid and they now have a decent bullpen. However, IMHO, they will need, at least, one more reliable starter. I'm a big fan, but believe they'll finish 2nd in the weakest division in MLB.

They suck... but its completely the fault of the ownership.  They're not willing to bring in quality players or keep the ones they develop from the minors.  Their owner is a disgrace to the game of baseball.\n\nThey could have had an outfield of Johnny Damon, Carlos Beltran and Jermaine Dye.  All dealt away.  And none of the prospects they got back have turned out to be at all good.

Unfortunatly the Chicago Cubs will not come out of their slump once again this year. As always we will continue to be Cubs fans reguardless of weather or not they are winning or losing because thats the kind of fans that we are.

Cubs?  Are you drinking?  Prior and Wood can't stay healthy and Maddux is older than God and not pitching well.  Zambrano is very good.\n\nEither White Sox or Cardinals.

I think it's highly possible.  Not only Cubs are playing well this season, Marlins is also the one of worst teams in MLB right now.

No I think the Cubs will do better this coming year, not TOO much better though.  I really doubt the Cardinals can repeat.

Anything is possible. They have a shot. Another team to look out for is the White Sox, last years World Series champions (It's like hell as a Cubs fan plus White Sox fans are super annoying without winning the World Series. I have to route for my home town, none the less). They average as a team batting .300 . That has to account for something. The Tigers are up now, but I predict the Sox getting their record back up. The funny thing is that the White Sox always lose to the worse teams (Cubs, D-Rays, Blue Jays).

OK, they suck.\n\nSorry, that's all the information that I have.

Get their key players back from injury. Put Kerry Wood in the bullpen. Trading for Soriano may help. I can't see that there's any pitching help on the horizon. I think the Cubs may give up on the season soon and start trading away players instead of trying to pick up help.

I think they have improved their hitting and leadoff spot which has been hurting them for years now. I wish they'd either get rid of Kerry Wood or move him to the bullpen. But I think they'll have a solid bullpen this year which was killing them last year. Oh, and watch for them to manufacture runs with Pierre and Hairston batting 1 and 2. I don't think they'll rely so heavily on the homerun ball this year. Don't give up on this season even if they start slow. We want them to peak at the end of the season. Yes, I bleed blue. White Suks!!!! Go Cubs!!!!

They would be so good if their number one hitter wasn't on the D.L. and half of their starting rotation is on the D.L. When you have Kerry Wood, Mark Prior, and Wade Miller on the D.L., you are going to go through a very rough stretch, with teams in your division like the Cardinals, Brewers, Astros, and even the Reds! Hopefully it will get better.
