It was another one run loss for the Cubs on Thursday as Geoff Blum knocked in the game winning run off of Jose Ascanio in the 13th inning. The damn offense just can’t score any runs for the starting pitchers who have been throwing the ball very well. Ryan Dempster got a no decision even though he went seven innings.

Wow, the Cubs bullpen threw four scoreless innings and only allowed one hit as the Cubs beat the Braves 3-2 in 11 innings on Wednesday night. Did Carlos Marmol and Kevin Gregg read our blog and other Cubs blogs after blowing the lead on Tuesday? It sure looked liked it as they both had 1-2-3 innings! Series is now tied at one game each!

It’s official Cubs fans, the bullpen officially sucks! Once again the pen denied Randy Wells from picking up his first win as they blew as Carlos Marmol and Kevin Gregg both allowed runs in the final two innings. The big blow was a game tying two run home run off the bat of Jeff Francoeur when he took Gregg deep with two outs in the ninth.

Cubs starting pitcher Sean Marshall didn’t have anything working on Sunday night as the Dodgers scored five runs in the first inning and didn’t look back as they beat the Cubs 8-2 and salvaged a split in the four game series at Wrigley Field. I’m happy with a split with the Dodgers but things still need to be worked on!
