CUBS LOSE OPENER TO MIAMI AND END UP LOSING THE SERIES 1-2

It was a tough loss for the Cubs as they had so many chances and left what seemed like a million men on base. Springer got CS with the game on the line in the 9th and the whole teams confidence went out with that. The cubs now sit at 4-2 after winning game 2 10-4 and losing game 3 5-3.

Week 1 Update: Pitching: Hey guys, the pitching here has not been great in week 1, never giving up less then 3 runs, and giving up 9+ runs twice. Allen Webster had a strong first outing then came back with a rough one giving up 10 ERs. Chris Heston hasn't been looking pretty either, with a 4.50 ERA. But Erik Surkump, another SP fighting for a rotation spot, has a 1.80 ERA and is pitching fantastic. Alex Wood, and Jose DeJusus, also fighting for spots, are also doing well, with a 1.80 ERA ...

As the offseason begins, the Cubs have some work to do. They have a vacant spot at hitting coach, and fired their pitching coach. Though they quickly hired men, making Robin Hancock there hitting coach for 3 years, and Terry Collins the pitching coach for 3. The Cubs have retained most of their players, including Jorge Soler, (all A POT players, and all B POT prospects) and also have signed Rizzo to a 7 year, 20 MIL deal(hahahaha so cheap!)

After July:

"Theo, how do you feel about the trades you've made?"
"I feel pretty good about them and I think we will be a real competitor in a few years"
"Was it hard trading all those guys, especially 7 year Cub Alfonso Soriano"
"It's always hard, but it was best for the team, so we had to do it"
