If that seems harsh, keep in mind that these fellas sucked on it for a long time and were paid extremely well for their “efforts”. The Cubs are still feeling the effects of their “expertise”.
Fanboy Ricketts refused to clean house when he purchased the Cubs, which set the organization back even further.
I can’t take the current Cubs seriously, not until all remnants from the previous regime are gone and that includes Sorry-Oh-No, who will be laughing all the way to the bank his entire life. Another overpaid, underachiever who never came through when it really mattered.
“When it really mattered”…for those of you who don’t comprehend, here are a few names of ball payers who once delivered when it mattered most: Will Clark and Steve Garvey (I just threw up in my mouth), Albert Pujols, Reggie Jackson…there are many. All you have to do is look at the teams that win.

No worries, not living in the past…but the present for long suffering Cub fans is no gift….that’s for sure.
Are the Cubs better off now?

Scott, those pics make me want to hurl, right along with the image in my mind of that arrogant smile from that POS Steve Garvey. Game 4 in ’84 will haunt me forever when Jim Frey didn’t walk that asshole after he was already 4×4. Arrggh!!!

I know this is about baseball, but I just saw this at SI.com. Another reason to Fire Tom?
“Omer Asik (10.3 points, 11.7 rebounds)…for the Rockets”
Wasn’t he a Bull last year?

The only thing that could have made this worse was Larry Himes and Tom trebblehorn

Mike, I’ve HATED Garvey ever since.
That was gut-wrenching…to win the 1st two at Wrigley, only to lose 3 straight in San Diego.
Classic Cubs baseball…..BARF.

And 5 years later we had Will Clark and his voice to deal with…..

Scott, I always dreamt of Garvey getting pulled over on the Pacific Coast Highway with 2 14 year old boys and a pound of coke. And it’s not completely about ’84; the guy is just such a goddamn phony!
