I think there is a high probability he (Riot) is gone next year
I notice that Jim and Lou never mention the defense when they talk about next year—which tells me they are going to make changes. They say they are happy with the pitching and can use an RBI bat, but make no comments on the defense as they don’t want a focus on where they see weaknesses.
Maybe it is just wishful thinking, but my guess is that Lou & Jim have finally figured it out that a great pitching staff is a waste without a good defense to help them out.

He's kinda like the Randy Wells of the bullpen.
Not overpowering but seems to get the job done nonetheless.

Last day of Cubs ball for 2009 eh?
Seems like I missed the “excitement” for today , yesterday and etc…. :(
been traveling a bunch, and missed most of the last couple weeks, (thankfully??)
Like most years, I’m looking forward to 2010 spring training in Mesa (I guess?), so, once again, I’m waiting “for next year” hopefully.
Pat & Ron seem heavy into next year already as well.
