The Curse of Wrigley Field

As expected, Dusty Baker is gone.  I’ve said this before, but he didn’t do a bad job.  He took us closer to the promised land then any other coach but I think his time just ran out.  Also gone is the team’s President, Andy MacPhail.  He could never do what he did for the Twins (two World Series) so we’ll see what happens.  Joe Girardi should be looking for a job and I think he’d be a nice fit.

During the offseason, I’m going to be doing some play profiles of the first Cubs World Series team back in 1907.  This will lead up into a 1907 Cubs Championship diary similar to what my brother did for the 1906 White Sox at Black Sox Blog.  And of course hopefully the Cubs will give us something to talk about during the off season.
