Albert Pujols has always liked playing at Wrigley Field. This has been evident by his production there especially over the last few years. With the Cubs 3-2 on the homestand heading into Sunday, the Cardinals were looking to continue the inconsistency of the homestand with a big win. They did just that, on three home runs by Albert Pujols. Amazingly, it was his 4th career three homer game, but his first since 2006. In the 9-1 Cardinals win, the Cubs finished 3-3 on that homestand and got their three wins all on shutouts, outscoring opponents 9-0 but being outscored in losses 24-8. Now the Cubs, after losing today in Pittsburgh, play two more there and then head off to Houston and in this five game stretch, I believe the Cubs really need to win four. Absolutely win the next two against Pittsburgh, and then hopefully two more in Houston. The scuffling offense needs to start hitting because Lou Piniella is running out of moves he can make.
