The Curse of Wrigley Field

It was a different night and a different opponent, but it turned out to be the same old story for the Cubs.  A lineup with five players hitting over .300 continued to find ways not to score, as they went 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position in a 4-2 defeat to the Florida Marlins.  This was the sixth time in the last seven games that they scored three or fewer runs and they have lost each one of those games.  The starting pitching was so good during April that it was able to keep the team afloat, near the .500 mark.  In May, this unit has fallen back to being average and the results have not been pretty.

With the losses coming at a rapid rate and the outside pressure increasing, the frustration is beginning to show for this team.  It will be Randy Wells’ turn tonight to reverse the team’s fortunes as he goes for his fourth win of the season.
