Now Carp strikes out on a bad pitch to strand Wong at 2B to end the 8th. Carp is 0-7 today with 4 Ks. Hopefully Shildt will find more games as opportunities to save Carp for pinch hitting duty, if necessary.
Poor old Cubbies… the Cardinals lose a game and CHC still falls farther behind. Who said that the Cubs would sweep the Brewers because it was at Wrigley?
Five thirty-Eight:
StL 92% for the play-offs and 73% for the title. CHC 66% the play-offs and 25% for the division.
The run differential is down to 3 behind for the Cards, CHC + 70 STL + 67.
THE MAGIC NUMBER IS DOWN TO 24.
Da Cubs just ain’t that good, despite what is written about them here.
