The Curse of Wrigley Field

Maybe the Cubs have somebody here in Ted Lilly. He held a high powered Reds offense in their home park to a single run on three hits and a walk with nine strikeouts.  I’d call that a solid debut.  Bob Howry and Ryan Dempster then threw a scoreless inning a piece and just like that, the Cubs had their first win of the season.

Aramis Ramirez accounted for the bulk of the Cubs offense.  He had three hits and two runs while Mark DeRosa had two hits and two RBIs in the 4-1 win.

The rubber game is tomorrow afternoon.  Jason Marquis makes his Cubs debut and hopefully it’s as successful as Lilly’s.
