This team has the vibe of the 2005 Cubs train wreck which led to the 2006 tanking and the end of Dusty. Massive disappointment in 2003, a late season collapse in 2004. They all knew their days were numbered this winter even before the Darvish trade, and the low ball offer to Rizzo confirmed it.

2005 was 79-83. 2006 was 66-86, then Sam Zell panicked and they hired Sleepy Lou and got Soriano.
