The Prince of Fat clears the bases with a 2B.
Milwaukee has 3 on the board with no outs in the top of the 1st.

[TransMonk]

Ben Sheets leaves the game against the Cubs after 2 innings with forearm tightness and a 3 run lead.

Could sink a drowning Brewer squad.

[Frayed Knot]

They ought to have in-game announcement when Sheets doesn't leave the game with some sort of injury.


6-1 Brewers in the 7th and they're threatening for more ... oops no, Flyout-DP.
Looks like we're going to end this night right where we started it - although with an extra game's space ahead of Houston.

[Benjamin Grimm]

AND a day closer to the end of the season. Helps against the Brewers, hurts against the Phillies.

Let's hope the Cubs have a big comeback in them.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Phreakin' Phillies defeat the Braves by a score of 7-1. I guess the Braves offense isn't quite so good when they don't get to face our bullpen.

The Brewers lead the Cubs 6-1 and are still batting in the 7th at Wrigley.

[Frayed Knot]

10-3 final in Tampa. Now a 2-game lead over Boston.
