MLB gambling anticipations have not been met by the Cubs since their legendary upset loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers as prohibitive chalks with the MLB wagering prospects in 2008. After their complete fall of 2009 in which they went from NL Central winners to losers with the MLB prospects, MLB gambling odds makers have long abandoned the Chicago Cubs.



The steep drop from one of the elite squads in baseball at the sports book to an also ran playing out the string ultimately wore out current manager Lou Piniella, who will retire at the end of the year. There’s wild speculation as to who will take the place of Piniella.

The job of getting the Chicago Cubs back into the playoffs will not be an simple one regardless of who eventually gets the gig at Wrigley Field.

Chicago Cubs general manager Jim Hendry isn’t making any phony guarantees or employing cheap sales gimmicks for possible managers. He instead has decided to lower anticipations and come clean.

“It’s a double-edged sword,” said 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.” 1908 was the most recent time the Chicago Cubs won a world championship. The playoff loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers was like a nuclear bomb on Piniella’s program as the North Siders have not been a formidable online MLB gambling commodity ever since, even though Piniella was thought to be the answer to the issue and he looked to have the Chicago Cubs ready for a significant run in 2008.

The Cubs horrible history is actually one of the draws to the job as there are a lot of big league sized egos that would love being referred to as the manager that concluded the drought of world championships for Chicago.

There’s also the notion of the Chicago Cubs as lovable but losers with odds makers that wager the MLB prospects in online sports wagering as well as the beer swilling fans that love to sit in the outfield of Wrigley. That must transform.

“The intrigue of wanting to be the manager that eventually won a world championship,” said Hendry of the lure of the Chicago Cubs job. “That’s all part of the lure to everybody over the past 8-10 years that I’ve been hiring to manage.” This year the losing has only made that already unstable value worse, even though the Chicago Cubs popularity often makes them a bad MLB wagering value, even in good years.
