2 Seed in Backyard League

BBL Champs

## Overview

The Chicago Cubs are an MLB team in the National League Central. They are available to play in Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003. They got off to a rocky start, finishing just 4-24 over their first two seasons played.

## Season 3

The Cubs were chosen for the first time in Season 3 by alsi2843. However, he left the Discord server without a trace, and his team was taken over by psanchez55's dad. This Cubs team is notorious for being one of the worst in BBL history. They finished at a putrid 1-13 and are featured in the BBL Challenge Tour as a difficult accomplishment to win a game with them.

## Season 6

The Cubs were brought back in Season 6 by MarcoMcGwire, who renamed them the Crazy Cubs. However, the coaching carousel kept turning all season, as newcomers EclipsedShadow and Vissery also ended up playing games at the helm of the Cubs. No matter who was leading the way, the season was a struggle. The Cubs finished at a disparaging 3-11. Luckily, two of those wins came in the last three weeks of the season, so it could have been much worse.

The Cubs entered the BBL Consolation Tournament, but they lost to the Pirates and Orioles, thus ending their season.

## Season 7

The Cubs returned for Season 7, this time moving to Boston with coach Kiiiiiiiiiiiiis. They were placed in the Backyard League. For the first time in their history, the Cubs found coaching stability and actual success on the field behind the quasi-grounderball strategy of coach Kiiiiiiiiiiiiis on the bouncy ground at Cement Gardens. They finished 10-4 and claimed the second seed in the Backyard League. The 10 wins by the Cubs was more than double their previous win total of 4 over their first two seasons.

In the first round of the playoffs, they faced the #1 seed from the Frontyard League, the Junior Athletics. The stellar infield defense of the A's was the perfect counterattack to the Cubs ground ball hitters, and the Cubs fell to the A's in two straight games. The A's went on to win the Season 7 World Series.

## Season 8

The Cubs returned in Season 8, this time with coach Wizard. They were placed in the National League Central. During the draft, they picked up 3 shortstop locks with the ideas of having solid defenders at short, first base, and catcher. The Cubs got off to a hot start with their upstart defense. Through 9 weeks, they were 7-2 and in good position to make a playoff push. However, they trailed off towards the end of the season, winning just one more game and finishing at 8-6, out of playoff contention.

## Season 9

For Season 9, the Cubs were coached by real life Cubs fan, Emery92 and named the White Cubs. They played in the AL Central, on the 2001 version of the game, and had a home field of Cement Gardens. The Cubs were a high-offense team, averaging just over 20 runs per game and beating most opponents very easily. The Cubs went 12-2 and were the #2 seed in the American League.

In the playoffs, the Cubs escaped a Game Two scare from the Braves and won the ALDS in three games. In the ALCS, the Cubs exacted revenge against the top-seeded Royals, who handed them a loss during the regular season. The Cubs swept the Royals two games to none to reach the World Series.

In the World Series, the Cubs went up against the most terrifying defense in the league, the Monsters, coached by league founder and commissioner Yurya. However, the Cubs were able to do just enough to win in three straight games, earning Emery his second straight World Series title.

## Season 10

### 2001

The Cubs returned in Season 10. In the 2001 league, they were coached by rBBL rookie mattitude. They played in the NL East and their home field was Steele Stadium, as they loaded up on power hitters in the draft. The Cubs hung around for a while but they finished 7-7 and missed the playoffs by a game.

The Cubs accepted an invitation to the Consolation Tournament.

### 2003

On the 2003 side, the Cubs were coached by mattitude's brother, benjaminion. However, after two games, benjaminion resigned, and after a couple weeks of disarray, Heinz took over as permanent coach. This Cubs team was slightly less dangerous than their 01 counterparts, going 6-8 and missing the playoffs.

The 2003 Cubs also accepted an invitation to the Consolation Tournament.
