The Curse of Wrigley Field

The Cubs are sinking fast.  They lost their second straight to the Reds and their eight straight overall.  That puts the Cubs at 23-36 and in a division with three good teams, I don’t think the Cubs are coming back anytime soon.

Doug Davis took the loss and he’s now 0-5 with a 6.38 ERA.   The Cubs have one of the rougher pitching staffs in the National League and with guys like Davis in the rotation, you can see why.  John Grabow also had a rough time and he gave up four runs in his one inning of relief.

Edinson Volquez was pretty effective against the Cubs. Darwin Barney went three for four and Blake DeWitt went three for four two doubles, a run and an RBI.  The rest of the team had four hits.

It doesn’t get any easier because after we’re done with the Reds, it’s off to Philadelphia for a four game series. Ryan Dempster gets the ball tomorrow.
