Now earlier this season I wrote at some point when it comes we're struggling. And maybe the teams you changed managers if they did not revive. It didn't Duke Energy new dynamic. Looking back. The Cubs did not you do that and the problem with this team would have very little to do with Lou and everything to do with the cast of characters have been assembled.

And the ball went on when cub during the final days of the range.
