They were struggling in September before this started. It has nothing to do with curses. Obviously Dempster was all about nerves. Even though DeRosa is a utility player that plays in the infield mostly, his defense isn't all that great. I thought Zambrano actually pitched well besides having a horrible September.
Another Problem. Cubs showed great OBP and low K's this year hitting. The first 2 games they've shown no patience at the plate whatsoever. They are swinging at the pitchers pitches. Soriano wants to bat in front of the plate to try to get the ball before it breaks. If you watched the 9th inning closely last night, that was good 2008 Cubs hitting baseball this year. They all sat and waited for their pitch for the 9th. Thats what they need to do
