	Chicago Cubs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1998, the Cubs made it into the playoffs as a wild card team on the strength of a 60+ HR season from Sammy Sosa and Kerry Wood's Rookie of the Year pitching performance.
		The Cubs won their first division title in 14 years in 2003, and their NLDS victory over the Atlanta Braves was the team's first postseason series win since 1908.
		Game 6 saw the Cubs take a 3-0 lead to the 8th inning, when the now-infamous incident in which a fan attempted to catch a ball in foul territory rattled the team and opened the door to 8 Florida runs and a Marlin victory.

	Cubs
		Officially adopting the Cubs moniker in 1907, the team, led by a great pitching staff including Mordecai “Three-Finger” Brown, won three straight pennants (1906–1908), two world championships over the Detroit Tigers, and another pennant in 1910.
		In 1984 the Cubs went 96–65 and, led by manager Jim Frey, MVP Ryne Sandberg, and Cy Young pitcher Rick Sutcliffe, won the NL Eastern Division championship but lost the playoffs to the San Diego Padres.
		In 1998 Sammy Sosa hit 66 home runs, and, in 1999, a record-setting year for Cubs attendance, he led the club to the playoffs, where they were swept by the Braves.

		Same old song: the Cubs left RISP in the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th, and the worst of it is, Henry Blanco actually led off the seventh inning with his triple (a ball that scooted by Jeff Francoeur), but the Cubs couldn't figure out a way to get him home.

	The Northside Lounge-A Chicago Cubs Blog
		Good news is that the Cubs decided to sign him for not one but two seasons at $2.5 M per.
		Then to top it all off the player has to rationally think that bunting is a good move throwing up the white flag and admitting to the world he knows he cannot hit (which any person with a basic understanding or the number line can tell when comparing his stats to other people).
		Maybe the Cubs will get out of this funk, maybe this will be a blip when recounting a glorious season, but in the end I think it is what it is. Basically the end result of a glorious amount of bad decisions.
