The Chicago Cubs' 2008 season is the 136th season for the Chicago Cubs, and the 100th season since their last World Series Championship in 1908. The Cubs are attempting to repeat as champions of the National League Central Division. If they do so, it will be the first time since 1908 that the Cubs make postseason appearances in consecutive seasons. This is their second season with Lou Piniella as their manager.
At the All-Star break, the Cubs led the Central Division and were tied with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for the best record in the major leagues. They tied a National League record with eight players selected to the All-Star team.
