Suppan's Effort Wasted
It was easily Jeff Suppan's best performance of the season, perhaps in his Brewer career. He kept the Cubs to 1 run through 7 innings, but like Yovanni Gallarda a few days ago, the bats had a pathetic showing. In the 4th inning, with the bases loaded and no outs, the Crew only managed a run. Casey McGehee and Mike Cameron fouled out, Corey Hart drew a walk to bring one run in and then J.J. Hardy flew out to end the threat. In all, 11 runners were stranded and the Crew only got 1 hit with RISP, which didn't lead to anything because Suppan was thrown out trying to score from 2nd.

The Cubs ended up winning on 3 walks in the 10th. With Ryan Theriot on 2nd and two outs, Mark DiFelice intentionally walked Milton Bradley, then intentionally walked Geovanny Soto after he fell behind to him. Then Jake Fox battled for 9 pitches and eventually walked (on a questionalble ball) to force in the winner.
