The Curse Continues

The Chicago Cubs haven't won a world series in 100 years and it looks like it might take another 100 before the win the next one. This team however, has hit a new low. The Cubs were predicted by many to win the world series, yet they sit just above .500 and out of playoff contention. They have been miserable underachievers. The fans are used to underachieving, but the off the field chaos is starting to wear the fans thin. The Cubs chemistry is horrible, as even acknowledged by the manager. The have a club house filled with head cases. Zambrano and Bradley are constantly pulling crap and getting into trouble. Many players have been in Pinella's dog house this season.Bradley, Fukodome, and Soriano are one of the most expensive outfields in baseball, but all have had miserable seasons. The Bradley situation is an interesting one. Their is no question he is a head case and the Cubs were stupid to sign him. Also, Bradley was stupid to save some of the things he recently said about feeling hatred and praying the game ends as soon as possible. However, Bradley claims that he has been racially abused by Cub fans. Many people might not believe him, but it is entirely plausible. Several Cubs players and former manager Dusty Baker claims that they were on the end of racial abuse by Cub fans. Just because a player is a head case, doesn't mean what he says isn't true. The Cubs fans who have a great reputation as happy, loyal, fun loving fans has been tarnished by these multiple allegations. This situation is a complete mess. Everyone is a fault in this case and no one comes out looking good. This has been one of the worst years in the Cubs history, which is really saying something.
