Well the Cubs beat the Pirates on Friday and Saturday however mother nature had something to say as they attempted to go for the sweep on Sunday. The game was postponed until a later date and now the Cubs look forward to a huge series against the San Diego Padres. Can the Cubs catch the Cardinals or grab the wild card?

The Chicago Cubs dropped two out of three games down in Miami to the Marlins as the bullpen blew leads and the offense didn’t score very many runs. Carlos Marmol and Kevin Gregg both pitched terribly. If Gregg continues to throw meatballs, it’s time to try Angel Guzman in the closers role.

It wasn’t that pretty for the Cubs offense last night but Carlos Zambrano came through with a two run double in the top of the second inning and he pitched well enough to get the victory as the Cubs beat the Nationals 3-1. The Cubs bullpen was great as four pitchers combined to throw four innings and limit the Nats to just two hits down the stretch.

The Cubs took a couple of steps back as they dropped the final two games of a three game series to the Braves. The offense sucked it up both games as they scored just one run in both outings. The bats need to have a big series against the Cardinals or they will find themselves behind by at least five games in the standings.
