Cubs 7 @ Brewers 2

Boxscore

This circus act yields no laughs

Watch that one play and it was obvious.

This was a downright fiasco.

Looking in the rearview mirror, it was clear the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Dave Bush never had a shot Tuesday night against the rival Chicago Cubs.

It was ugly enough with Bush walking guys and being hit about the ballpark by others in less than two innings, but the play that brought back memories of the circus that can be a toddler's T-ball game is what really stunk in the Brewers' 7-2 loss at Miller Park.

The defeat, coupled with a Colorado Rockies victory, eliminated the Brewers from the wild-card race a night after they were eliminated from the division race.

"It's unfortunate," said Prince Fielder, who hit his 41st home run of the season. "All we can do is play the last games and see what happens. If we're out of it, that's fine, but we get paid to play hard. We're still going to do that regardless. We want to win as many games as we can so we can go home with a good taste in our mouth. We'll go out there and play the game right.
