In a real odd way, I have to agree with Milty. He does have a small point. There have been a few good players who have come to the Cubs and have fallen flat upon their arrival. Is it because of the pressure of a city that hasn't won since the early 1900s? Is it because they are at the tail end of their careers? I can not say for sure, but I have seen many good players fall flat on their asses when they have come here.
There are players who do real well here as well, but you can not forget the players who we signed hoping they would do here what they have done elsewhere, only to be let down. He has hit well every other year in his career, and the one year he doesn't, figures its with the Cubs.
However, blaming it on the city and the fans is a complete joke. He failed to live up to expectations in his brief stop here. There is no one to blame for his disaster of a year other than himself.
