Yesterday I finished the last of the decade reviews. Now you know everything you ever wanted to know about the 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000 Cubs.
Sadly, they were for the most part, very bad teams. Here is a look at the records:
1960, 60-94, 7th place/8
1970, 84-78, 2nd place/6
1980, 64-98, 6th place/6
1990, 77-85, 4th place/6
2000, 65-97, 6th place/6
That's one .500 finish and two last place finishes. It is also an average of only 70 wins.
I am hoping that the 2010 Cubs are able to do better than 70 wins!
Now check the attendance at Wrigley over the decades:
1960 809,770
1970 1,642,705
1980 1,206,776
1990 2,243,791
2000 2,734,511
Those numbers aren't too bad, considering how bad the teams were. I think three of the years were boosted by the previous season's success, 1970 (the '69 Cubs), 1990 (following the division winning 1989 team) and 2000 (still riding the Sammy Sosa home run wave from 1998).
The attendance was going up, and so were ticket prices:
1960 Box seat $2.50 Bleachers $0.75
1970 Box seat $3.50 Bleachers $1.00
1980 Box seat $6.50 Bleachers $2.00
1990 Box seat $15.00 Bleachers $6.00
2000 Box seat $25.00 Bleachers $15.00
and if you want to go to a game this season
2010 Box seat $100.00 Bleachers $54.00
The 2010 prices are based on the premium dates. The Cubs have four different levels of ticket prices depending on the date or opponent The prices I've shown are from the most expensive games. They have only six games at the lowest level, when box seats go for $55 and bleachers for $22.
Using the calculator on this page, the 1960 prices adjusted for inflation would be:
Box seat from $2.50 to $15.85
Bleacher seat from $0.75 to $4.76
It looks like the 2010 prices are just a bit ahead of inflation.
I hope the 2010 Cubs win total is also ahead of inflation!

Reviewing From Decades Past: 2000 Pitchers
If you were not impressed with the position players or bench of the 2000 Cubs, then it shouldn't surprise you that the pitching staff was just as horrible, maybe even worse. The staff was 14th out of 16 NL teams in ERA (5.25) and was 15th in runs allowed, earned runs allowed, and home runs. This was a very bad staff.
And it was a huge staff too. A total of 24 different pitchers took the mound for the Cubs. Yet Topps had cards for only four of them, plus one more in the prospects cards. So once again, I will have to use cards from other brands to fill in the missing players. And even with that, there are still 14 with no Cubs card at all.
THE STARTERS
Jon Lieber was the "ace" of the staff, going 12-11. And his ERA was only 4.41, which was the best of all the starters. Wow, how bad were these guys??
Kevin Tapani made 30 starts and was 8-12 with a 5.01 ERA.
Kerry Wood was making his first of many comebacks in 2000. He missed all of 1999 and returned to the rotation in early May. I remember all the hype concerning his return. He even hit a home run in his first game back and picked up the win. But he was not the dominant pitcher he was his rookie season and finished 2000 with an 8-7 record.
Rookie Scott Downs made 18 starts and was 4-3.
Rookie Ruben Quevedo made 15 starts and was 3-10 with an whopping 7.47 ERA.
Ishmael Valdez was the last pitcher with double digit starts, coming to the Cubs from the Dodgers in late July. He was just as lousy as the others, going 2-4 with a 5.37 ERA. Fleer thought so much of him that they spelled his last name wrong.
THE BULLPEN
Over the hill veteran Rick Aguilera was the closer in 2000. Though he had 29 saves, his ERA was 4.91, not exactly what you'd like to see in a closer. After the season he was granted free agency and never pitched in the major leagues again.
Kyle Farnsworth made 46 appearances and was 2-9 with a 6.43 ERA.
Daniel Garibay pitched in 30 games and was 2-8 with a 6.03 ERA.
Danny Young got into four games, pitched 3 innings and gave up 7 earned runs, good for an ERA of 21.00. He is also that last of the pitchers who got a Cubs card in 2000.
Here are the rest of the pitchers not considered card-worthy by Topps or anyone else:
Andrew Lorraine, 1-2, 6.47
Felix Heredia, 7-3. 4.76
Tim Worrell, 3-4, 2.47 (how did he get on the team with an ERA that low!)
Todd Van Poppel, 4-5, 3.75
Steve Rain, 3-4, 4.35
Jamie Arnold, 0-3, 6.61
Brian Williams, 1-1, 9.62
Mark Guthrie, 2-3, 4.82
Jerry Spradlin, 0-1, 8.40
Matt Karchner, 1-1. 6.14
Joey Nation, 0-2, 6.94
Phil Norton, 0-1, 9.35
Will Ohman, 1-0, 8.10
Oswaldo Mairena, 0-0, 18.00
Have you ever seen such a collection of ridiculously high ERAs?
Topps also made cards of three other pitchers who didn't make any appearances for the Cubs in 2000.
Steve Trachsel, who became a free agent after the 1999 season and signed with the Devil Rays.
Ben Christensen was the Cubs #1 draft choice in 1999. He never made it past AA.
This guy got a rookie card in 2000 also, but he did make it to the majors. Maybe you've heard of him. He looks so young and innocent on this card.

Reviewing From Decades Past: 2000 The Bench
This won't be easy. After what would be considered the starting eight, the Cubs used another 19 position players. Topps issued cards for a grand total of one of the 19. Three more did show up in the prospect cards. So, to make this post halfway decent, I'm also going to use cards from some of the other brands.
I'll start with the players who had Topps cards:
Shane Andrews who was one of the three lousy players at third base. He hit .229 in 66 games
Julio Zuleta played in 30 games and hit .294
Roosevelt Brown hit an eyepopping .352 as a rookie. It would be almost 100 points higher than any other average in his career.
Corey Patterson made his MLB debut in 2000 and hit .167 in 11 games.
These guys had cards from other brands. A bunch were in the Fleer set.
Tarrik Brock, .167 in 13 games
Raul Gonzalez, 0-2 in three games
Glenallen Hill, .262 in 62 games
Cole Liniak, 0-3 in three games
Gary Matthews, .190 in 80 games
Augie Ojeda, .221 in 28 games
Rondell White, .328 in 19 games
Two guys were in Pacific's set
Chad Meyers, .173 in 36 games
Jose Nieves, .212 in 82 games
One player, Dave Martinez, had a Topps card while he was with the Devil Rays.
The rest of these guys had no card at all:
Brant Brown, .157 in 54 games
Ross Gload, .194 in 18 games
Jeff Huson, .215 in 70 games
Mike Mahoney, 1-7 in four games
Jeff Reed, .214 in 90 games
Finally, Topps had cards for a few players who didn't play at all with the Cubs in 2000.
Jeff Blauser, who was granted free agency after 1999 but signed by no one and retired.
Lance Johnson, who wasn't re-signed by the Cubs after 1999
Mickey Morandini, also let go after 1999
Jose Molina, who got a rookie card but spent all of 2000 in the minors.
This was a very unimpressive group of players!

Reviewing From Decades Past: 2000 - Position Players
We've got two holdovers from the 1990 starting line up, first baseman Mark Grace and catcher Joe Girardi. Girardi wasn't with the team the entire decade, though, rejoining the team in 2000 after seven seasons away.
The average age for this group was almost 32 years old. Plus, five of the eight were new to the Cubs for the 2000 season. Stocking you team with old guys no one else wants is not a way to win many games. The 2000 Cubs did not win many games.
First Baseman Grace entered the 2000 season with all the hype as the 1990's hits leader. Well, that and a quarter (OK-so I'm dating myself here!) will get you a cup of coffee. He was 36 years old and saw his average drop almost 30 points from 1999. After the season, the Cubs decided not to re-sign him, and Grace went to Arizona and a world championship. The Cubs, they figured that with Hee Seop Choi in the pipeline, they would be set at first for years to come.
Second Baseman EY was picked up from the Dodgers in an off-season trade and had a decent year as the Cubs starting second baseman. He played in 153 games and hit .297.
Shortstop Like his double play partner, Ricky Gutierrez was new to the Cubs in 2000, signed as a free agent. He played in 125 games, hitting .276 and even showing a little pop with 11 home runs.
Third Baseman It's been a quarter-century since Ron Santo left and third base was still a hole. In 2000, Willie Greene ended up with the most starts, 77. He was picked up off the scrap heap over the winter, the Cubs being his fourth team in three seasons. At the age of 28, he was the youngest of the eight position players. Greene barely made it above the Mendoza line, hitting .201 and was released at the end of the season. No other team saw fit to sign him, ending his big league career. Not one of the major releases featured a 2000 card of Greene with the Cubs, so I had to go with this Topps card from 2001
Catcher It was homecoming as Joe Girardi returned to the organization he broke in with. The good news: Joe played in 106 games and made the All-Star team. The bad news, he went from the World Champion Yankees to the last place Cubs.
Left Fielder The 32-year-old Henry Rodriguez had seen his power numbers dropping over the last season and a half, and by late July, the Cubs gave up and traded him to the Marlins. In 76 games for the Cubs, he hit .251 with 18 HRs.
Center Fielder Damon Buford was another aging player picked up by the Cubs in the off-season. In 2000 he set career highs in games played (150), home runs (15) and RBI's (48). But the Cubs brass saw his as a stopgap measure until touted prospect Corey Patterson would be ready to take over in center for years to come. So, Cubs brass, how did that work for you?
Right Fielder In 1998 and 1999, Sosa topped 60 home runs, but didn't lead the league in either season. In 2000, his HR number dropped to 50, but it was good enough to lead the league. There must have been some bad steroids going around in 2000. Sammy also hit .320 and had 138 RBIs. It was the first season in four that he didn't lead the NL in strikeouts, so all in all, it was a pretty good year for him.

Reviewing From Decades Past: 2000 Season Recap
The 2000 Cubs were under the leadership of a new skipper in 2000, Don Baylor. Unfortunately, the results were the same. The 2000 Cubs finished 65-97, dead last in 6th place. The Baylor era was not off to a very good start.
Topps didn't have a very good season in 2000 either. There were only 478 cards in the base set and another 135 in the traded set. Of the 613 cards issued, only 23 were Cubs. I may need to use cards from some of the other sets.
There was no team card to show, and none of manager Don Baylor either. In fact, none of the 23 brands I've got had a 2000 team or manager card.
There's not much good to say about the season:
...It was the first time in team history that the Cubs lost 95+ games two seasons in a row.
...They won only 15 of the final 58 games.
...Sammy Sosa won his first NL Home Run crown, with 50 round trippers.
...Jon Leiber led the league in innings pitched (251)
...Mark Grace struck out only 28 times in 621 plate appearances, best in the league.
...the pitchers game up a franchise high 231 homers.
Yet despite this mess, the Cubs drew 2,734,511 fans, good for second best in team history. Box seats now ran $25 (up from $15 in 1990). Bleacher seats saw a huge jump, going from $6 in 1990 to $15 in 2000.
Tomorrow we get to see the position players.

Reviewing From Decades Past: 1990 - Pitchers
If you want to know why the 1990 Cubs won only 77 games despite have the National League's second highest team batting average, the answer is they had the league's second highest ERA, too. The staff posted a combined 4.34 ERA, almost a full run worst than league leader Montreal's 3.37.
THE STARTERS
Greg Maddux was now the ace of the staff, winning 15 games, but he also lost 15. That was the most losses in a season in his career, a mark he tied with the Cubs in 2005.
Mike Bielecki had a great 1989, coming out of nowhere to go 18-7. He returned to earth in 1990 with an 8-11 record and a 4.83 ERA.
Mike Harkey was the Sporting News' Rookie Pitcher of the Year in 1990, going 12-6 with a 3.26 ERA. He was the lone bright spot on the staff. A shoulder injury cost him the month of September and perhaps his career. He missed most of 1991 and 1992.
Shawn Boskie made his major league debut on May 20 and picked up a complete game win against the Astros. He ended up making 15 starts and was 5-6. Like Harkey, he failed to finish the season. A bone chip in his elbow did him in.
Rick Sutcliffe spent most of the season on the DL with shoulder problems. He started five games near the end of the season and was 0-2 with a 5.91 ERA. Noticing a theme among the starters yet? Injuries and high ERAs do not lead to victories!
THE BULLPEN
Mitch Williams was the closer, but fans were getting tired of the whole "Wild Thing" routine. It was OK in '89 as long as he got the save, but that wasn't happening any more in 1990. He had a 1-8 record and only 16 saves. A knee injury kept him from blowing more saves as he missed time in June and July. Wild Thing, you make the other team's bats sing.
Paul Assenmacher led the team in appearances with 74. He did a nice job as closer when Williams was hurt, ending up with 10 saves. His record was 7-2 with a nice 2.80 ERA.
Paul Kilgus was traded to the Blue Jays for Jose Nunez
Les Lancaster made 55 appearances including five starts. He was 9-5 but had a very high 4.62 ERA.
Pat Perry was released in December, 1989.
Jeff Pico pitched in 31 games, and his ERA, like almost everyone else on the staff, was over 4, at 4.79.
Scott Sanderson was 11-9 in 1989, but the Cubs choose to let him go in free agency. With the lousy starting pitching, in hindsight that looked like a big mistake. Sanderson hooked up with the A's and was 17-11.
Steve Wilson was 4-9 with an ERA of 4.79.
Bill Long was picked up from the White Sox on April 30 and was 6-1. But his ERA, want to guess how high it was? If you said over four, you were right! It was 4.37
Dean Wilkins pitched in 7 games in two early season stints and was really bad, like 9.82 ERA bad.
A boatload of players pitched but had no Topps card, many making their MLB debuts in 1990 and impressing no one. Are any of these names you recognize?
Jose Nunez, 4-7, 6.53
Dave Pavlas, 2-0, 2.11 (which seems good, how did he get mixed up in here??)
Randy Kramer, 0-2, 3.98
Kevin Coffman, 0-2. 11.29 - and that ERA is not a typo
Lance Dickson, 0-3, 7.24
Kevin Blankenship, 0-2, 5.84
And finally, the team ERA leader, with a perfect 0.00 in his one inning...
....Doug Dascenzo
Maybe they should have thought about using him on the mound more often!

A boatload of players pitched but had no Topps card, many making their MLB debuts in 1990 and impressing no one. Are any of these names you recognize?
Jose Nunez, 4-7, 6.53
Dave Pavlas, 2-0, 2.11 (which seems good, how did he get mixed up in here??)
Randy Kramer, 0-2, 3.98
Kevin Coffman, 0-2. 11.29 - and that ERA is not a typo
Lance Dickson, 0-3, 7.24
Kevin Blankenship, 0-2, 5.84
And finally, the team ERA leader, with a perfect 0.00 in his one inning...
....Doug Dascenzo
Maybe they should have thought about using him on the mound more often!
