The team name was originally the Crawdads, after the Hickory Crawdads, the "A" affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 2001 season was the last as the Crawdads. Although the season started off with a promising 3-2 record, the team finished with an 11 game losing streak and record of 3-13. The season ended with a first round loss in the playoffs. In 2002, the team decided to change their name to the Cubs, after the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball. The new uniforms improved our appearance, but the performance on the field did not improve. The team finished the year with a 2-14 record after starting 0-8. Some players had off years, some were injured, others were adjusting to playing baseball again. The team hopes to put it all together in 2003 and have a good season.

The 2003 season was a year of ups and downs and improvement. The team started out 0-3, went 5-3 in the next 8 games, and then finished 0-4. The season ended with a first round playoff loss and a 7th place finish in the national division, out of ten teams. The final record of 5-10 gave the team as many wins as the last two years combined. Included in the 10 losses were three, one run losses. So with a few breaks here and there, the team could have finished with a .500 record. The pitching and defense was greatly improved this year. The hitting still needs to be more consistent, but there were also some bright spots and improvement in this area as well. Overall, the team feels better about this season then the previous two and hopes to take the next step forward and contend for the division next season.

The 2004 season was a year of continued improvement and firsts. An influx of new talent helped the Cubs to a regular season record of 6-9, best in team history, and a 9th place finish out of the 12 team open metal division. Though a loss is a loss, the team remained competitive in most of the losses and even the losses provided optimism for next year. The 2004 team also proved to be much better offensively then in previous years. The team hit 12 home runs with Brenner hitting for the cycle in one game. The pitching still struggled at times but helped us remain in most games better than in past years. Of course, the highlight of the year was a 13-10 victory over the Spiders in the first round of the playoffs for the first playoff win in team history. Though the season ended with a 12-0 loss in the second round to the Barons, the team ended the season feeling some improvement had been made and with the core of players now on the team, better things are yet to come.

The 2005 season started with a sense that this could be the year to challenge the upper teams in the league. After a slow 4-4 start, the team rebounded to win 6 of the final 7 games to finish 10-5, best in team history, and in 4th place in the open metal division, best finish in team history. However, the season ended sooner than expected with a first round loss in the playoffs to the Pirates, a disappointing end to a successful season. The 2005 team remained one of the top offensive teams in the league, but pitching continues to be a problem, forcing the team to try and out score most teams to win. This will continue to prevent success in the playoffs unless we can find additional pitchers to help the couple consistent ones we have on the team. With some additional pitching, the 2006 season could prove to be a very successful one.
