Should Have Studied

Another bad loss for the Cubs tonight. The pitching and Zambrano were actually pretty decent. I'll take 4 runs most days, and Navarro didn't even deserve the run in the 9th. That ball should have been a single or an out. I have no idea how the scorer ruled that a triple. Patterson's "out" was a huge out that inning. Ramirez then lined that ball to right field, which Jenkins made a spectacular catch on, but who knows where he would have been playing with a man on. Lee then singled, that might have been 3 straight hits. I think that was the 6th when the Brewers got 3 runs in the bottom of that inning.

Jason DuBois hit the longest foul ball I have ever seen at Miller Park, reaching the 3rd level of seats.

Baker's boneheaded in the 8th again. I think he had already intentionally walked Overbay twice. Miller hit a foul ball for a double, a ball that just barely was fair down the right field line the time before. Walk Overbay again. Instead he pitches to him and puts another run on the board when Overbay doubled.

Bottom Line: The Cubs have to start hitting better if they think they can stay afloat this season. We'll see what happens.
