| a horrid homestand despite having the best record as the host in the National League this season -- maybe the Chicago Cubs really are cursed. Chicago will try to put the brakes on a five-game slide tonight in the opener of a three-game set with the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. A potent offense and outstanding pitching have carried the Cubs through most of the season and had them favorites to capture their first World Series title since 1908, but Chicago has hit the wall at an ill-advised time. |
