The Cubs were looking to win the second game of the series against the Astros and things looked good with Carlos Zambrano on the mound for them. However, the offense never showed up and the Astros would end up scoring the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win. The Cubs offense once again was TERRIBLE.

The Cubs got a great starting performance out of Ted Lilly as the threw 6 2/3 innings of shutout baseball and the Cubs beat the Astros 7-1. Finally the offense came around and had 16 hits in the game as five different players had rbi’s. Great game all around as the Cubs moved into a tie for second place.

Hey Cubs fans! I have a nice little review of a 3d model of Wrigley Field that was sent to me by the owner of HomeFields.Com today. HomeFields.Com makes 3d models of baseball and football fields as well as race tracks. We will be giving this model away in a contest next week so stay tuned!

The Chicago Cubs took two out of three games against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. Cubs are now 3.5 games out of first place. The starting pitchers threw the ball great, the bullpen did alright but we still need to see some more offensive production for the bats in the lineup.
