[d_money]

Looking forward to watching Wood continue his strong start and development

[Crack Wilson]

So far, so good.

[Crack Wilson]

Again, Cubs strike 1st.

[d_money]

Nice play Riz

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Hey, the Cubs are on.

[Andy]

Tired of the Cubs' bullpen giving up leads, the Cubs' starting pitchers have decided to just get a jump on them and do it themselves.

[Guest]

well, that about does it for any and all excitement surrounding this season.

[TruffleShuffle]

i feel like reds catchers always kill the cubs. ramon hernandez, ryan hanigan, david ross, etc.

[dfnowak]

At least Rizzo is having a good day at the plate

[UMFan83]

This feels like mid-September Cubs

[dfnowak]

We suck again!

[Little Slide Rooter]

We suck again!

 

Don't worry, they'll go on another 7-5 run sometime in the next few weeks-months.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

We suck again!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Only caught a bit of the game on the radio, but from what I can tell from the box score:

 

Reds 6 1b, 1 2b, 4 BB = 5 runs

 

Cuvs 4b 1b, 2 2b, 4 BB = 2 runs

 

Worst sequencing team ever.
