Cubs point finger -- at Wrigley

First it was the Curse of the Billy Goat.

Then it was the Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio trade.

Then it was the Steve Bartman incident.

Then it was Sammy Sosa.

Now, according to this Chicago Tribune story, it's Wrigley Field.

That's really precious.

Maybe it's time for the Cubs players and management to take a look in the mirror. The Cubs have been playing at Wrigley Field since only 1916. You'd think the Cubs would have figured out how to play in their home ballpark by now.

The San Diego Padres struggled last year in their new home, Petco Park, but they seemed to make the adjustments and are leading the National League West.

Then there are teams that can play well just about anywhere: the St. Louis Cardinals, Atlanta Braves, New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, just to name four of them.

Then there's the Cubs.

Yes, I'm still making plans for my 100 Years of Cubs Futility Party in 2008!
