Dang, Brantley woke me up with that Bruce hit.

Cairo grounds out to short to end the inning. 1-0 Good guys.
63 pitches through 3 for Dempster. Guys are making him work.
Hope isn't a strategy
Dempster with 63 pitches through three. Bruce really worked him pretty good. Very good piece of hitting it sounded like.

For anybody who doesn't think this team is a bat short, look at 5-9 in the lineup today.

Pena a two run homer. 2-1 Cubs. Looked like it was right down the middle according to MLB pitch trax.
Back to back as I write. 3-1 Cubs. Blaaaahhhhh.......

That money they gave Arroyo looks awful.
The Brew Crew rolled out McGehee, Betancourt, Lucroy and Gomez last night. Betancourt as a #6.
Betancourt has nearly 100 PAs in the 6 hole for the Brewers. He is hitting .218/.255/.276 as the 6 hitter.
So the top priority for the team that is first in the league in runs scored and given up the third most runs in the league is another bat?

I think you are a little quick on the draw sometimes.
Where did I say it was the top priority?
I thought you could tag a runner out if he slides and goes pass the bag?
Well, of course the team could use another bat, what team couldn't?

3-1 Cubs in the middle of the 4th.
This game came to a screeching halt all of the sudden. Back on pace for a three hour game.
