Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 2, Cardinals 8, April 25, 2009
Somehow it’s easier to swallow a blowout loss than a close, what-could-have-been loss. Still, the enhancement touches on a frustration. Tweet
Injury Updates: Ramirez at Least 3 Days, Marmol 4-5

Stupid freaking Reds. Stupid freaking Dusty Baker. And really stupid freaking Joey Votto. His entire career will be built on world-beating the Cubs. You’ll see. But today’s enhancement takes a different jab. Tweet
