Once again on Monday against the Reds the Cubs bullpen failed. In the bottom of the 8th the game was tied. Jon Leicster failed. He gave up 2 runs putting the Cubs down by two. There was another disturbing fact. The Cubs did not score any runs except one off hits. All 5 of the 6 runs were home runs. If the Cubs expect to win they are going to have to get the base hits. The Cubs record dropped to 6-7 last night. Tonight the Cubs could use a win. Mark Prior starts tonight and Dusty Baker would like to see a better start than Kerry Wood had last night who blew a 4-0 lead. All I have to say is the Cubs are going to have to improve the bullpen to win games.
