Win Expectancy Graph
SB Nation Coverage
Turns out, Seth McClung's second start was shorter than his first one.
McClung may have pitched himself out of the rotation once and for all tonight, allowing four runs in the first on home runs from Derrek Lee and Jake Fox en route to allowing seven runs on seven hits in just 3.1 innings. Chris Smith came in to try to keep the Brewers within shouting distance in the fourth but allowed a grand slam to Derrek Lee, who had seven RBI in the game's first four innings.
The Brewers were briefly back in the game in the top of the second, when a Mike Cameron two-run shot reduced the deficit to 4-2. Cameron had a good night in the loss, going 3-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored. Prince Fielder was also on base three times with a home run and a walk. Jody Gerut got a pinch hit single in the seventh, which surprised no one more than Tom Haudricourt, who tweeted the following:
Jody Gerut just got a pinch-hit single for the Brewers. I'm not kidding. Honest.
Tomorrow is another day.

I bet the other BCB

bizarro BCB
doesn’t seem to do much quickly without breaking down and squabbling amongst themselves.

sigh
Any time that McClung isn’t looking like he’s going to cry after he gets pulled is a plus, though. (Now to see what he says during the postgame interview, if there is one.)

I wonder if he'd still pick himself for WS Game 7

Can't possibly have worse days from Hardy, Hart, and CC
Cam and Prince were good, but that was it. Call me foolish, but I’m still optimistic about the rest of the series.

I realize this
I’m not thrilled about that, but the Cubs haven’t been very good on offense lately, and I think we can still out score them with our other starters on the mound.

yo would have been only one of 4 games if he had pitched
what? did you only expect us to win one?

Hope you're right.

The standings Monday morning...
Reds
Cubs 0.5 GB
Cards, Astros, Brewers 1 GB
Assuming Cubs sweep Brewers, Reds sweep Cards, Astros sweep Giants. NL Central is insanely close at midpoint of season, and could tighten phantasmagorically this weekend.

Cards already won

Well, if Reds win 2 of 3
just flip Reds and Cards — it’s still the same degree of closenss.

Cubs...four-game series...
Just assume the sweep.
by Cheeseandcorn on Jul 2, 2009 10:21 PM CDT up reply actions 1 recs
If we're assuming...
… I’ll just go ahead and assume that we won’t lose another game and we’ll win the division by 30 games.

So
Rally cleavage was needed, but not deployed. I hope everyone has learned their lesson.

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
