He needs some goal to keep his mind busy. Once the Cubs were non-contenders, the situation was ready-made for him to give you trouble. He was only a good signing if the team was good, and needed some competitive fire for the post. You need to look at why the team sucked in the 1st half, because he would of come alive in the 2nd half (if the team was in a fight.)

There were many other reasons the Cubs had a bad year, but he sucked in the first half of the year too. They were actually playing decent ball without ANYTHING from him, but fell apart after the All-Star break.
