The Cubs have just brought Anthony Rizzo to play first and moved Bryan LaHair, the Cubs offensive All Star representative, to right field. Rizzo is hitting .323 batting average and 3 homeruns in his first 8 games. Rizzo is the young prospect who is supposed to be the future first baseman. LaHair is a late bloomer and is giving the Cubs a surprising lift with 14 homeruns and a .293 batting average along with a .371 OBP. Left fielder Alfonso Soriano is not hitting for contact, but he is leading the club with 15 homeruns.

The Cubs pitching staff has an All Star in its midst. Ryan Dempster has 9 quality starts in 12 games with a 2.11 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. Dempster's performance is going to put him on the trading block. The Chicago Cubs are in last place in the NL Central and in the first year of rebuilding under the watchful eye of General Manager Theo Epstein.

He is going to be reworking this roster, building a club by trading the attractive pieces like Dempster. Epstein is going to be building around shortstop Starlin Castro, Rizzo, and whoever else emerges as a worthy young prospect.

Chicago Cubs History

The Chicago Cubs have been a part of the National League since 1876 and have been looking for a World Series title since 1909. This is the cursed franchise dubbed the lovable losers. They had so much promise in the first half of the 20th century, but have floundered in the postseason, leaving many of the games greats a title short at the end of their career.

The Curse of the Billy Goat cast its spell on the Cubs after Billy Sianis was ejected because his goat had been soaked in the rain storm in Game 4 of the 1945 World Series at Wrigley Field and had begun to stink. The Tigers took the game and the series after starting the game up 2-1. Sianis said the Cubs would not return to the World Series while the played at Wrigley Field. There have many amusing and some grotesque attempts to break the curse.

At first the curse received little attention. After the regular season collapses in 1969, 1977, 1978, and 1979 and the postseason heartbreaks in 1984, 1989, 1998, 2003, 2007, and 2008, the belief in the curse is more powerful than ever. Whether it is the futility in the first round, a fan obstructing an easy out, or a June swoon, it all is blamed on the curse by the throngs of fans at Wrigley Field. TheSeats has the Chicago Cubs tickets for the new hope, for Theo Epstein's mission to break a second curse and become the most beloved man in Chicago.
