MEMORABLE SEASONS The
Cubs have been around for a long, long time. The truth is, most of the
time they've had one horrible nightmare season after another. The few
seasons they some how got their shit together and played well, they've
always managed to choke the season away in an amazing fashion. It was
hard to narrow it down to just a few, but here's a nostalgic look back
at some of the Cubs most horrific seasons. Enjoy! 1906
With a solid pitching staff and the fabled double play trio Tinkers to
Evers to Chance, this team had the best regular season winning percentage ever. The only
problem was they lost the world series to the one team they would least
like to lose the world series to... the CHICAGO WHITE SOX!

2003
Could it be the greatest choke ever? A team that won a measly 88 games
in the regular season somehow finds themselves 5 outs away from the
world series. A geek with a walkman, a huge error, and shit relief
pitching completely smashes all hope and the Marlins win it! full
