It's a stumble to the finish. Nobody wants the NL Central crown. The Cubs lost for the 4th time in-a-row and the 5th time in 6 days. The Cubs are 0-4 since Alfonso Soriano got hurt on Sunday Night versus the Mets. The Brewers got crushed today by a score of 19-4. Rookie sensation Gallardo gave up 11 runs in 3 innings today. The Cubs lost by a score of 8-2 as the Astros completed the sweep. Lance Berkman, Craig Biggio, and Jason Lane all hit homers today for the Astros. The only Cub player to homer in this series was Matt Murton.
Good news today was Felix Pie was called up as Angel Pagan mysteriously went to the DL. The Cubs now have Ryan Theriot, Mike Fontenot, Felix Pie, and Matt Murton all called up and Giovanni Soto should be called up soon.
The Cubs are in Colorado tomorrow night trying to end the drought. Ted Lilly will take the hill and hopefully he will pick up another victory.

Cubs Stand Pat/Cubs Hang With Brewers

Jim Hendry decided to stand pat yesterday on the Trade Deadline day. Some thought he would go after Ken Griffey Jr or Adam Dunn but Jimbo didn't budge.

Meanwhile, the Cubs won last night by a score of 7-3 hanging with the Brewers yet again. Jacque Jones hit a key double that gave the Cubs a 5-3 lead and Jason Kendall put the game out of reach in the 7th. The Brewers won in 13 inning last night thanks to a Geoff Jenkins homer. The Cubs are still 1 game back of the Brewers.
