The Curse of Wrigley Field

July 15, 1908 at West Side Park
Giants 11, cubs 0  (45-32)

The game was bad in so many ways.  One, the Cubs were completely decimated.  Two, it was their fourth straight loss.  Finally, the third thing was the Cubs fell all the way to third place as both the Giants and Pirates vaulted over them in the standings.  Three Finger Brown was gone by the fourth inning and neither Jack Pfiester nor Orval Overall could stop the bleeding.  When it was all said and done, the triumvirate gave up eleven runs on fourteen hits and six walks.

Johnny Evers was the outlier at the plate.  He singled four times and that accounted for four of the Cubs seven hits in the defeat.
