All good things had to come to an end and that is exactly what happened on Friday afternoon for the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs offense coudln’t do anything and the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Cubs 3-0. That was not the way the team wanted to start a weekend series with the Pirates. Now we have to sit back and hope that the Brewers and Cardinals both lose tonight to stay five games up in the division. Jason Marquis took the loss for the Cubs as he gave up all three runs. Jason Michaels and Jack Wilson both hit rbi singles in the second inning and then Michaels added a solo home run in the sixth inning. It didn’t matter how many runs Marquis gave up on the day however because the offense had all sorts of problems. The Cubs offense left 15 runners on base while striking out four times. Once again the double play ball really hurt them in the game. Geovony Soto had a bad day at the plate as he went 0-4 and left five runners on base. Enjoy your evening everyone and lets talk some Cubs baseball on Saturday afternoon as the Cubs try to even up the series with the Pirates.
