But, one good thing; the Cubs now know where their weaknesses lie, so they can buy/trade for next year.

The core of the team right now is both pretty solid and young. They've got good starting pitching that's young and the infield is a little shakey, the outfield is slow but skilled, batting isn't too bad. The bullpen is weak and made weaker by Dusty's tendency to leave pitchers on the mound too long. And hey, it was a better season than they've had since the LCS was invented. Time to start whistling Monty Python tunes, pitchers report in about 4 months.
