The Curse of Wrigley Field

Well, the good news is, Jason Marquis threw a nice game.  The Reds have some mashers and it’s a homerun park but he held the Reds to a run on four hits and two walks with a strikeouts in six innings of work.  The downer was the pen.  Bob Howry gave up two runs in the seventh and then Scott Eyre gave up two in the eighth and the end result was a 5-2 loss.

Aramis Ramirez had another great game.  He went three for four with a double.  Mark DeRosa had two hits including a solo homerun and Cesar Izturis doubled twice.

Rich Hill takes the mound tomorrow at Milwaukee against a solid Brewers team.  Tomorrow is a night game and then both weekend games are in the afternoon.  Saturday’s matchup should be a good one with Carlos Zambrano throwing against Ben Sheets.
