Games 21-23


10-13
Long story short the Cubs have finally separated themselves from the .500 mark, and not in a good way.

Three games since they were 10-10 and they now sit at 10-13 and two games back in the central. Could be worse...they had a game against the Rockies called to to weather today. So, I guess no game is better than a loss at this point.

There have been a few bright spots during this three game slide though. Most notably is the fact that Kosuke Fukudome has raised his season batting average to .458 with an average for the month of April over .500, including a career high 5-5 in game one against the Rockies. In that game Fukudome outhit the Rockies 5-4 (Cubs hitters collected 11 total hits) but the Cubs still found a way to lose 4-3.

Fingers crossed that a Thursday through Sunday series with the Arizona Diamondbacks is what the team needs to get back on track!
