Here's the summary of the good news from Wednesday's Cubs/Reds game: It was sunny.

The Cubs did not pitch, hit or field well Tuesday night. These things have been common in 2013, but it's rare that the Cubs did all these things poorly in one game.
Cubs 4, Pirates 1: Now That's More Like It!
The Cubs played solid baseball on the mound, in the field, at bat and on the bases. Keep it up, please.
Pirates 6, Cubs 2: A Tip O' The Cap
The Cubs lost to the Pirates. This is no surprise, as the Bucs have dominated the Cubs since the beginning of 2010.
Pirates 2, Cubs 0: Complaint Department Is Closed
The Cubs just didn't have it Friday against Pirates pitching. That doesn't make losing any better or easier to take, but at least they didn't get blown out.

The Cubs got a big hit in extra innings and managed to make it stand up for a win in Anaheim.
Angels 4, Cubs 3: Oh. YOU Again.
The Cubs saw an old friend enemy for the first time in more than a year. The result was depressingly familiar.
Diamondbacks 8, Cubs 4: Same Game, Different Day
The Cubs were in the game until the middle innings, when some shoddy pitching put the game away for the Diamondbacks. You've heard this one before, I know.
D'backs 12, Cubs 4: Enough Carlos Marmol, Already.
The former Cubs closer helped turn a close game into a blowout. How many more of these do we have to see? (Hopefully, none.)

Reds 7, Cubs 4: Bullpen And Other Follies
It's pretty clear to me: Dale Sveum doesn't know how to handle a bullpen. That's not the reason the Cubs lost Friday night, but it didn't help, either.

It's time for the 2013 Alternative Recaps to make their season debut.

Could the Cubs have won Tuesday night's game with better relief work? Yes, and part of that is on manager Dale Sveum's choices.

The Cubs lost another tough and close game. After the loss, we learned who's going to be leaving the roster when Matt Garza returns.
Cubs 8, Mets 2: Scott Feldman Is Edwin Jackson
