DPD.  Just noticed all but Wallach also played for the Cubs.  Oh how humiliating.

Some--like Blauser--maintained their "Cub killer" status even while wearing the blue pinstripes.

Uh, Steve Garvey?

269 games, 78 HR, .985 OPS.

Michael Jack Schmidt, Gentlemen.

Yeah Schmidt's a first ballot for career, Garvey of course in a series.  Fucking fuckface.

[J. Walter Weatherman]

Don't forget Ty Wigginton and his .591 career OPS and 3 HR vs. the Cubs.

Wallach's son is a Cubs farmhand thanks to the trade that sent Ted Lilly to LA.

Too late!

Huey, I hate to disappoint you, but I failed to include two of those guys.  And I'm already working on #12, who is neither of them.

He ALWAYS KILLS US.

Victor Diaz and Craig Brazell. I am still convinced the 2004 Cubs would have won the Wild Card if they had not lost that fucking Saturday game at Shea Stadium. Austin Kearns and Javier Valentin didn't help matters in the Reds series, but the Cubs weren't ahead in the standings when those games were played.

Valentin and kEARns, yes.   Valentin's a nice call, actually, especially as his production against the Cubs was inverse to how well he fared against all teams (unlike Schmidt, who fared well against most teams but really pounded the Cubs).  However, I will not advocate for or defend Clemente HS grad Diaz and his fluky-ass homerun's inclusion.  One season-destroying, improbable, opposite field homerun against a habitual pants-shitting late-inning psychopath does not a Cub Killer make, in my opinion.

And why don't I readily recall Craig Brazell?

Because BC is crazy.

That does sound like it could use something big...
