Game One Hundred and Fifty Four: Cubs 5, Brewers 2

Box Score

Surely after pounding out 25 runs against the Reds over the weekend, the Brewers would have now trouble against a pitcher with an ERA pushing seven. Right? If you answered wrong, you would be correct.

Tonight's game was nothing less than excruciatingly painful. The cherry on the top was the rally in the 9th inning that ended with Hart striking out with two on. Nothing like a tease of a rally to crush your soul.

The Cardinals also won today, so the magic number is still parked at 4. The Cardinals look like a team that could finish the season 8-1 (if not 9-0), so the Crew is going to have to keep the pedal to the metal here. Though I am not going to worry, waiting for the magic number to reach 0 is like waiting to open presents on Christmas morning.

Anyway, the silver lining of tonight is that the Brewers are now most likely going to clinch the Central at Miller Park. But really, I don't care where or how the division is clinched.
