Cubs starting pitcher Randy Wells pitched into the seventh inning as the Cubs beat the Astros 4-1 and evened up their series at one game each. Wells became the first Cubs rookie pitcher since Kerry Wood to record double digit wins in their rookie season. Let’s keep on winning and picking up ground in the wild card!

Randy Wells got tagged for five runs in the first three innings of the game as the Nationals beat the Cubs 5-4 and took two out of three games. It was just a bad series overall for the Cubs and the fans probably wish that the season were over now. I sure think that sometimes as I sit here and watch them play ball.

Rich Harden threw seven shutout innings and only allowed one hit as the Cubs avoided an embarrassing sweep from the San Diego Padres. The Cubs offense was led by Milton Bradley and Aramis Ramirez who both hit home runs in the 7-1 victory. Can they team build from this as they head to Los Angeles?

Kevin Gregg you SUCK. Gregg once again gave up a walk off home run and blew the save and the game for the Cubs. This time it was a rookie taking the meatball fastball thrower deep for a game winning three run home run as the Padres beat the Cubs 4-1. Gregg, sit your butt on the bench where it belongs and don’t get up!
