Game Thread: Game 13 vs the Brewers

H_tiny by JD Arney on in News Comment 317 comments

TIME: 7:10 @ Great American Ball Park
                                             

CUBS PROBABLE:                      REDS PROBABLE:
Chris Capuano (1-0, 4.35)           Eric Milton (0-1, 6.35)

Having some internet issues so sorry for the lack of posting the past two days. Should be fixed soon though, have an appointment with Comcast on Wednesday morning.

I was looking forward to tonight's game in the back of my mind all day today, and then I started to put up the game thread and realized Milton was pitching tonight. Kind of took the wind out of my sails.

Nonetheless:

Go Reds!

Can one of the stat guys help with this one?:

From the Brewers TV announcers (I'm in Milwaukee, this is what I'm stuck with):  "You score most of your runs with 2 outs"

Just seems a bit of a stretch..I would guess you score about 1/3 of your runs with 2 outs
