Busy Sports Weekend Ends With Cubs Losing a Series to the Nationals. (Seriously?)

Definately not the team you want to lose a series to, but this is baseball and sometimes it happens. A walk off homerun (off notoriously slow starting Bob Howry) lost the Cubs the first game, Zambrano was spectacular in the second game and was backed up by the offense for a big win, but the offense should have saved some for Sunday as the Cubs were shut out in the series ender.

Despite the sad series, the Cubs remain as the second best team in all of the Majors this season (behind only the Diamondbacks) and continue to lead the NL Central.

Here are Friday's games.
