July 1, 20179 yr Cubs getting shutout by the Reds in GABP should count as 2 losses. If they had gotten no-hit, they should've been required to forfeit the weekend series. Let's not get carried away, only 2 of the 9 starters started where they started in a World Series game and only 4 of 9 were World Series starters.
July 1, 20179 yr Author Reds take a 4-3 lead on a bases loaded single by the pitcher Stephens in the bottom of the 4th inning.
July 1, 20179 yr Watching the Cubs you would not think they won a world series last years. They are lucky they are in the NL Central this year. Any other division and there would be no hope of playoffs. If their pitchers get it together, they could get it turned around in time.
July 1, 20179 yr Author Reds win 5-3. First win and major league hit for Stephens. Save for Iglesias. Bullpen pitches four shutout innings.
July 1, 20179 yr Cubs broadcasters pointed out Friday that...at this point in the season...the average won-loss record for the last five World Series champions was one game over .500. Which is where Chicago was this year. I thought that was an interesting stat. Jim DeShaies had mentioned earlier that the biggest opponent of this year's Cubs might be "Big Brother"...the 2016 Cubs.
July 2, 20179 yr I know as a Reds fan I am supposed to hate the Cubs, but dear god do I love when tbey come to town!
July 2, 20179 yr I'm back. The Cubs stink. Maybe I should have stayed on vacation. What all did I miss?

July 2, 20179 yr Interesting. How many games over were they at this point last year. I remember they were hot as heck the first half of the season.
July 2, 20179 yr Let's not get carried away, only 2 of the 9 starters started where they started in a World Series game and only 4 of 9 were World Series starters. I've missed hearing Cubs fans come up with excuses. Glad things are back to normal!
