Since their epic upset loss to the Dodgers as prohibitive chalks with the Major League Baseball wagering prospects in 2008, Major League Baseball wagering expectations have not been met by the Cubs. MLB wagering odds makers have long abandoned the Cubs after their complete fall of 2009 in which they went from NL Central champions to losers with the Major League Baseball prospects. 
The sharp drop from one of the elite squads in Major League Baseball at the sports book to an also ran playing out the string finally wore out existing manager Lou Piniella, who will retire at the conclusion of the year. There is wild speculation as to who will take the place of Piniella.
The job of getting the Cubs back into the playoffs is not going to be an effortless one regardless of who ultimately gets the gig at Wrigley Field.
Cubs general manager Jim Hendry isn’t making any phony promises or applying cheap sales gimmicks for possible managers. He rather has determined to lower expectations and come clean.
“It’s a double-edged sword,” explained Hendry. “It’s certainly a tremendous challenge and a tremendous opportunity in a great, great place. But obviously, the weight of the world is on you as far as eventually having to win a world championship.” The Cubs last won a world championship in 1908. Piniella was believed to be the answer to the difficulty and he looked to have the Cubs poised for a considerable run in 2008 however the playoff loss to the Dodgers was like a nuclear bomb on his program as the North Siders have not been a formidable online Major League Baseball wagering commodity ever since.
As there are plenty of major league sized egos that would love being referred to as the manager that ended the drought of world titles for Chicago, the Cubs pathetic history is actually one of the draws to the job.
There is also the notion of the Cubs as lovable but losers with odds makers that wager the Major League Baseball prospects in online sports wagering as well as the beer guzzling enthusiasts that love to sit in the outfield of Wrigley. That will need to change.
“The intrigue of wanting to be the manager that eventually won a world championship,” Hendry explained regarding the Cubs’ job’s lure. “That’s all part of the lure to everybody over the past 8-10 years that I’ve been hiring to manage.” The Cubs popularity often makes them a weak Major League Baseball wagering value, even in good years, but this year the losing has only made that already unreliable value worse.
