I can't decide if I hate this team more than the 2006 Cubs.  It's all a moot point really  If I have to draw comparisons to 2006 then chances are the 2010 Cubs are pretty high on my list of most reviled seasons.

We have yet too reach the All-Star break and I already have grown tired of this bullshit squad.  It certainly has made my desire to blog about the Cubs completely deteriorate.  So much so that I'm taking a hiatus from writing about them.  I may pop on with something here or there this season but until something takes a gigantic turn for the better I'll remain a ghost on EOC.  I also will be spending time on a new blogging venture I plan to launch next month.  One that is not tied to this miserable franchise, so I'm looking forward to once again blog about something that I actually enjoy.  Such a novel concept.

So this isn't good bye necessarily, just a note that I'll be on vacation somewhere else so I may not be around here much for the remainder of the summer.  I'll be back eventually, and maybe when I do return the Cubs will be minus a few people, notably everyone in management and a good handful of aging veterans.  I really don't care if the large majority of these guys stick around.  Here's the team I want in 2011:

Marlon Byrd, Tyler Colvin, Geovany Soto, Starlin Castro, Andrew Cashner, Sean Marshall, Carlos Marmol.

The rest can go join Jeff Samardzija in Wolter's Firebarn.
