WEDNESDAY'S GAME AT CINCINNATI: Very impressive performance by Ted Lilly going 7 innings with only one earned run and three hits. Offensively the Cubs did enough getting four runs in the 4-1 victory.
TODD HUNDLEY AWARD: The Todd Hundley Award for bad catching to Michael Barrett. Barrett went 0 for 3 (2 strikeouts) and made an error on catcher's interference.

WEDNESDAY'S GAME AT ARIZONA: Greg Maddux showed he is not perfect last night giving up five runs and ten hits to the Diamondbacks in a 5-1 Cubs loss. The Cubs offense continues to struggle to score runs as they were only able to score one run on ten hits. To top off this bad performance Jacque Jones got doubled off second on a fly ball to left field for the
second time in three games!

DANNY JACKSON AWARD: The Danny Jackson Award for bad starting pitching to Carlos Zambrano. Zambrano pitched four innings on Sunday allowing eight hits (1 home run), five walks, and seven earned runs.

SUNDAY'S GAME VS. MILWAUKEE: Another bad game for the Cubs on Sunday as they get thumped again by the Brewers, this time 9-0. Carlos Zambrano continues to be unimpressive. The Cubs offense has not been looking good either. Aramis Ramirez is hitting .197 . Jacque Jones is at .228. The Chicago Tribune is reporting today the Cubs are interested in acquiring Tony Clark from Arizona. Clark is hitting .194 with the Diamondbacks and has lost his first base job. He should fit right in with the hitless listless Cubs.
