4/29/08 vs Brewers; L 7-10; (16-10)

In nine losses this season, the Cubs have failed to score more than 3 runs. Blame those losses on the hitting, right. Not tonight. The Cubs scored seven runs, had eleven hits, and eight free passes.

If I told you before the game that Ben Sheets was going to allow a career high seven walks in only five innings, would you have figured we win the game. Not so tonight. In fact, Sheets left with a 5-4 lead and earned the win.

So after the 7-1 home stand, we have dropped 4 of our last six. After having extended our lead to a game and a half and two games over St. Louis and Milwaukee respectively, we have let that slip to being tied for first with the Cardinals and only a game ahead of the Brewers. We need to get back on the winning track pretty quickly.
