The Gist: Game 28

Brewers 10 - Cubs 7 Selfishly, I went into this game hoping that Jason Marquis would pitch a gem. That result would be beneficial two-fold for us: first, it would mean that we'd most likely win the game and secondly, it would keep raising Marquis' trade value. A win/win situation. Not tonight.
