The guys need to watch this clip over and over. Look at the excitement. Look at their energy. That's what they need to regain to make next year a better year.

By the way, ignore the Steve Bartman video further down the page.
Yes, yes they do. Hopefully with an actual normal off season , they will regain said energy.
Some key pieces in a lot of the highlights long gone now , Dex, Rossy,Jake, Chapman,and the other's missing in another way, Addie, Schwarb's ~ that's the thing about magical season's, almost impossible to recreate. Those 2 singles by Schwarb's? I imagine those are his insurance policy against being traded. Theo just love's everything about Kyle and for good reason...I just see him having a very hard time parting with the #12, but then again, Theo is on a mission. I am not sold that Addie is being traded immediately either. If his bat shows up in ST, he may remain, at least until his value goes up or Theo sees if he is a distraction or not. Rossy is the one piece that the Cubs could try and regain in an actual capacity that does something. We need a closer, I'd love to see Doolittle but dreaming. I am curious and anxious to see how Rizzo is next season. I will get flamed for this but all the guys who have gotten married or major life change have tanked that season~ KB, Willy, getting married~Chatwood, CJ/AAJ with kid #2(arriving and/or expecting)Addie in his own category.
2 that improved tho, JHey after splitting from his Fiance' and Javy grew up a TON once he had a baby on the way and was on fire after getting engaged, had a great week when his son was born.
speaking of son's being born, Antino Albert Almora has arrived!
