Cubbies

Hey Hey Hey!!


Hows it going today? Back for another RitzBitz blog and today's topic is about the lovable losers, and my favorite team the Chicago Cubbies. I was born a Cub fan and will be a Cun fan until the day I die nothing will stop me. Yes the Cubs will win a world series in my lifetime.

Anyway the cubbies are coming off of two straight seasons where they got swept in the playoffs. It makes me sick and disgusting because they should be winning in the playoffs. They work hard all year long, and then suck in the playoffs for a whole week, and all that work is down the tubes. This past season the Cubs had the best team in the National League, and then the Los Angeles Dodgers of all teams sweeps them in the postseason. I was sad to say the truth, but I was expecting the beatdown by the Dodgers. All the players on the Cubs when the playoffs started got all nervous and had the fans rooting for them. All they had to do was go out their and have fun.

This season though, the Cubbies are looking for another great year. They signed Outfielder Milton Bradley to a four year deal, and Closer Kevin Gregg to a deal has well. The players they departed with was reliever Kerry Wood, and Shortstop Mark Derosa. Now Derosa was the best Cub player last year and had a breakout year, and now this move is going to hurt them badly. The move I did like is getting Bradley. He is coming off probably his best year ever and the Cubs are glad to have him. The one downside to Bradley is he likes to get in trouble a lot and stir up controversies. He has been on four different teams in the past eight years explaining that different teams let him go because of bad behavior. So you ask why did the Cubbies sign him? Well the Cubbies needed a left handed batter in their lineup, and they need another Outfielder that could provide a spark.

So what to expect this year from the Cubbies. I think they will crusie through the division and will make the playoffs for the third straight year. The problem they will face is how will do they do in the playoffs and erase that 101 year drought of not winning the World Series. I am excited for baseball season to start, and I plan to attend some games this year when they face the Cardinals in St. Louis. That will do it for today's topic about the Chicago Cubs.

Yesterday, I was in the library watching the WWE No Way Out PPV on the internet and I was suprised about how good the streaming was of the event. There was thousands of people watching it on the website and had different chat rooms where you can watch it from. I was shocked to see how good the feed was because usually when a lot of people watch it on the internet it tends to slow down the internet web feed, but not in this case. That is all I have in today's RitzBitz Blog but next time I am going to be talking about a mixture of different topics that I have planned out. Until next time be kind and rewind.
