What a terrible game by the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday afternoon as they lost to the Cincinnati Reds by the score of 9-0.  The Reds hit seven home runs in the game as the Cubs pitchers struggled to keep the ball down.  Hell, it could have been 15-0 with seven home runs lol.

Jon Lieber who was making his first start of the season gave up four home runs in the second inning alone.  Sean Marshall gave up back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning and Sean Gallagher gave up a home run in the sixth inning.  Joey Votto alone had three home runs for the Reds.

The Cubs only managed six hit the entire game.  They left twenty guys on base and struck out eleven times.

All around it was just a terrible game by the Cubs.  They will have an off day on Thursday and then begin a three game weekend series with the league leading Arizona Diamondbacks.
