The Cards Get One Today

The Cubs were lucky to be in the game today, but that still makes the 7-6 loss even more heart breaking.

The game was highlighted by Barrett's two home runs and a 3 run shot by Alou, but it was Sergio Mitre that led to the Cubs demise. He gave up 7 runs after getting rattled. The main problem with all the DL stints for Cub Pitchers, there is no end in sight for Mitre until early June when Prior returns.

The Cub are on national TV the next two days so enjoy.
