Division door slams shut
Crew eliminated in lopsided fashion
If you're going to be eliminated officially from the division race, you might as well go down in flames.Today:
That was the scenario Monday night for the Milwaukee Brewers when a 10-2 whipping by the Chicago Cubs at Miller Park led to the inevitability of being ousted from the NL Central race.
If you can call St. Louis leaving everyone in the dust a race, that is.
Actually, the Brewers' "tragic number" in the division dropped to zero in the top of the eighth inning, with Cubs hero Derrek Lee (3 for 4, homer, four RBI) batting against Josh Butler, making his major-league debut. That was when St. Louis' 7-3 victory over Houston became final, with the Astros playing under interim manager Dave Clark after firing Cecil Cooper earlier in the day.
MIL: Dave Bush 5-7
CHI: Randy Wells 10-9
