Good for him to call out the Cubs horrible play.  Unfortunately, it may seal any possibility of him coming back next year and may further cast a dark cloud over this team to potential free Agents- not that they couldn't see how bad this team is anyway, but to hear, quite possibly, the most respected man in the game, one who rarely dogs anyone, speak so fondly of his former club sure isn't a welcoming to play with the North Siders.  As posted here before by several others, looking more and more like 2008 might have to be our realistic goal.
