A postmortem to the 2009 season for the Cubs, plus some early analysis for next year.

In short, damn near everyone got injured. Bradley was a miserable experiment: i mean, couldn’t he have been a dismal teammate while putting up good numbers too? Lilly was a surprise, because – seriously – who though he was going to have that good of a year? Lou FINALLY figured out Kevin Gregg can’t close and basically threw Marmol into the job. Better late than never I guess but hopefully Carlos figures it all out in time for next year.

Either way, no playoffs and a long road again waiting for next year.

This is about damn time.

I’ve taken my share of crap from non-Cubs fans for the signing of this jerk. Yeah, talking about you Marcos! Hopefully this is the end of Bradley’s career in Chicago.

Actually, scratch that. I hope the White Sox pick him up.

Incidentally, just finished watching the Cubbies pull a miracle out of the bat bag to avoid the sweep by the Cards. That was nice. But after dropping two to St. Louis, I think I’ve got to face reality and realize the chance of a postseason is pretty much shot. They had to win these games in particular to have a shot at catching up at least on the wild card leaders but to also pressure the Cardinals. Neither happened.
