They need to get rid of all of the possible dead weight and rebuild their farm system from scratch. The young talent playing baseball today is better than ever, so the best chance for them to have a successful team in the future is to spend their money on young high school and college draft picks, instead of overpaying for aging players.
It's not like they're arent trying. They locked themselves in two of the worst contracts in baseball. They arent moving Soriano or Zambrano unless they're paying for about 80% of them. There farm system has been decent, but nothing amazing.

Cubs fans arent content with losing. They'd go fucking crazy if the Cubs were winning. But they dont bandwagon the team. They dont stop coming cause they're losing. They keep coming because they love the game, They support the team and they love being drunk in the bleachers .
