St. Louis 6- Cubs 1

As I am writing this, the Cubs are in a rain delay in the 9th inning. But predictably with Jose Macias up, they will lose 6-1 when the game is restarted. See Dusty took out Matt Murton in another infamous double switch. The same Matt Murton who is outslugging every other NL rookie (that includes Ryan Howard), except for Jeff Francoeur. Oh well, this is one of those season's that you can't wait for the post-season to get here to figure out who is going to be a part of the debacle next season. I think Michael Barrett should take at least the next week off as he recovers from being nailed in the head. I have not personally performed any concussion checks or have checked out Barrett, but with nothing really to gain from him being in there, he should stay out at least until his head clears. Check that, he can hit tonight for Macias, if this game every gets started again.
