From my understanding, the Cubs didn't really play that poorly, it was just that the Mets were incredibly hot. I have a book called Wriglyville that is a collection of stories about the Cubs. There is a chapter about the 69 season in it. On to a related subject, my favorite Cubs book is Bleachers, not to be confused with the play. The author spends a summer in the bleachers collecting all kinds of stories, including some college guys that would wear ropes around their waists to haul cases of beer up over the wall to save money.
