Troy Glaus went 0 for 5 this afternoon against the Cubs. That brings him to 0 for 29 on the season against Chicago. He's headed for a record if he doesn't get a hit soon.
Most AB against an opponent in a season without a hit, 1957-2008
| Batter | Opponent | Season | At Bats |
| John Lowenstein | TEX | 1974 | 35 |
| Andruw Jones | PHI | 1998 | 33 |
| Troy Glaus | CHN | 2008 | 29 |
| Marty Cordova | OAK | 1998 | 29 |
| Jerry Kenney | CAL | 1970 | 27 |
| Jose Cardenal | NYN | 1971 | 27 |
| Mike Ryan | SFN | 1968 | 27 |
The Cardinals still have eight games to play against the Cubs. I can't imagine Glaus going hitless in all of those games. The probability of a .267 going 0 for 32 (four at bats a game in the remaining games) is .000048. Still it will be fun to see how long he goes before he gets a hit against the Chicago this season.

Fun for everyone but him!
You must be a pessimist if you think the Glaus is half-empty.
So much for Glaus' futility vs. the Cubs. He has brutalized Carlos Zambrano today.
