Sorry Chicago Cubs Fans, but it looks like were taking a nose dive again. What is wrong with this team?

Question

Chicago lost for the just the fourth time -- and second in two days -- after taking a lead into the seventh. The Cubs also dropped consecutive home games for the first time since the season's opening series.

"If we continue to swing the bats like this the rest of the year, we ain't going to win that many," manager Lou Piniella said. "I'm sure we're going to come out of this, but let's come out of it sooner than later."

Chicago has failed to scored more than two runs in four of six games, and the frustration was evident. Piniella and Cubs first base coach Matt Sinatro were ejected in the bottom of the ninth for arguing a call at first base.

What gives? Is this the GM's fault? Are we in need of some new players? I thought we could win with what we have.

Answer 1

I'm begining to think that the Cubs have been losing for so long that we are no longer deserving of a championship and we are just "in the way" of the other teams. Maybe we would have had a better chance if there were less than 30 teams but there are too many good teams right now and unfortunately the Brewers finally assembled a team that could win the NL pennant. The Cubs no matter what we get or what we do can never seem to win the World Series. if they make the playoffs, they just wind up setting humiliated in the NLDS or Screwed in the NLCS. is it even worth cheering for the Cubs anymore.

Answer 2

They are going to be fine, they're struggling right now,but just wait for them to start playing like they did the first few months and then they'll be in good shape! Plus the starters are doing there job, its the offense that needs to wake up! They will eventually. (I hope!)

The brewers will choke up and plus the Cubs play fairly well in milwaukee!

Answer 3

Soriano. He a good player but Cubs are better without him. Trade him for another arm.

Answer 4

It's called a slump

please calm down

this freaking out by Cubs fan when there is a losing streak and the over celebration when there is a winning streak is why the Cubs just don't win

the Cubs are still a good team and can still very well win the division

Answer 5

Trouble at the top of the lineup starts with a slumping Fukodome. Soriano set to return should help right the ship at least a little bit. Brewers and Cards are definitely not going to run away and hide. Cubbies are in for a dogfight all the way through to the end of the season. Lilly, Marquis, Marmol need to step it up from here on in.

Answer 6

it's a slump, my team (Phillies) are hopefully nearing the end of a month long one now, they happen in baseball.

Funny thing to me is that I haven't seen Brewers fans on here, like, ever.... where'd they come from? Seem like Boston fans to me, just jumping on when the team gets hot.

Answer 7

Our Bullpen is just struggling right now, and were not producing lots of runs, if we can do that then we should be in good shape, and Ryan Braun has to quiet down a little bit.

Answer 8

NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE NOSEDIVE THAT THE CUBS ARE TAKING

this is typical of the cubs...it happens every single year ...

Completely

Useless

By

September

Cubs...

they can't do anything to fix it...they will never win a world series ever again...

Answer 9

what wrong with them is a guy in Milwaukee Wisconsin named RYAN BRAUN.

he is destroying my Cubs.

Answer 10

i don't think anything is needed or wrong in chicago, it's a slump and it happens...i think when soriano really gets back into the groove, that'll be the spark that sets the cubs into motion, and i think they're going to run away with the nl central as a result

Answer 11

before you complain look at my beloved redbirds. but i have to admit with the offense chicago has, it wouldnt surprise me if they came back from this

Answer 12

Nothing is wrong is just that The Marlins have won 12 out of 13 Meetings and they just own The Cubs.

Answer 13

the answer is that the cubs are destined to never make the world series. the brewers are now tied and are going to surpass them they will forever be real losers!!!!! GO BREWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 14

Just a little slump !

They need to address their bullpen ..will Kerry Wood come back strong?

.....Piniella definitly will keep them fired up ..I believe they will eventually win the division !
