It isn't often that a fan forum poster from an opposing team writes with great insight about the team that they just vanquished as the Cincinnati Reds have just done to the Chicago Cubs in 3 straight blowouts. However,
traderumor of the RedsZone fan forum has done just that. Following is his post that one hopes that Cubs mgmt will read and heed:

Ron Santo calling the Cubs out?

"No heart, poor effort."

You would think, with all of the intelligence accumulated over the course of human history, that every time a team goes through a losing streak, esp. in baseball, it can appear that the team is playing lackadaisically. However, it is most often due to the team all stinking at exactly the same time, as is the current case with the Cubs.

The amazing thing is that FO types, making hundreds of thousands of dollars, actually believe that it is lack of effort and not lack of talent. Boy this sounds familiar, just like there was another team that I'm familiar with who had the media types talk about "underachieving" in a sense of not reaching potential. Why can't they figure out its lack of talent and they are witnessing the cruel nature of the long season of things evening out to the talent of the players they have on the field.

Yet, it is likely the Cubs will continue to field a similar team, merely changing faces rather than realizing that the players that are attractive to them do not make up an excellent professional baseball team?
