Cubs-Cards series....

Well the rivalry was back in action this weekend and the Cards won the series 2-1. The Cubs lost the first two games of the series to have their first losing streak of the season. The 4 game losing streak ended yesterday when the Cubs beat up on the Cards. The first game was lost 3-4 and the second 2-8. The Cubbies just can't seem to be consistant from day to day. It is mostly due to the number of injuries. None of the injuries are really that serious but now Bradley and Lee are struggling to stay in the lineup. Both have been injury prone for the past year or so and both are vital to the Cubs' success. Fukudome took over the third spot in the batting order and drove in 5 RBIs. Fukudome, Soriano, Ramirez and Theriot are carrying the Cubs right now stats wise. With big bats like Bradley, Lee, and Soto hardly producing, the Cubs' offense has been struggling. Hopefully these guys can get back into form in the next week or two and the Cubbies can work their way back into the number spot in the division. The Cubs sit three games back from the Cards. One can only hope that the Cubs don't have another disappointing season.........
