Brewers -2.5
Pirates -6.0


Brewers 8 vs. Reds 12

Bummer of a birth mark, Hal. Tough loss for the Crew, coming home after being on the road for 10 days. If my prediction of the Brewers taking 3 of 4 from the Reds is true, they are going to need better starting pitching. They have Sheets going tonight, and hopefully he can show a little better stuff than his outing in NY.

Tonight:

Brewres vs Reds- 7:05pm


Cubs had an off day, but it was one of the worst days in Cubs history. As reported earlier, Derrick Lee is out 8-10 weeks with two broken bones in his wrist. Gaddis and I spoke at length about this last night, but there is one thing which wasn't mentioned.

Watch the Cubs error total rise without the two time gold glover covering the base. Seriously, having someone 6'6" with a good blove at first base is a real plus for guys like Aramis Ramirez and Ronny Cedeno. Let's just watch Ramirez's error total rise without the height and reaching ability of Lee at first to dig out his throws.

Tonight:

Cubs @ Cardinals- 7:10pm


-Until next time...
