I am beginning to feel like a broken record, Wednesday's game started out as a pitchers duel between Manny Parra and Ryan Dempster. Then the top of the 6th came around and once again the wheels fell off. The Brewers gave up 3 runs in the 6th and 2 more in the 9th. The Cubs continued to produce at the plate, as they had 14 hits. Oddly enough every Cubs starter had a hit in the game except Derek Lee and Aramis Ramirez. The Brewers lack of clutch hitting was once again noticeable. Manny Parra lead off the bottom of the 3rd inning with a double. The following 3 hitters, which happens to be the top of the order, failed to bring him home. The Brewers were only able to muster 6 hits and 2 runs. Ray Durham scored on a wild pitch in the 1st inning, and Prince Fielder added a solo home run in the 9th. The Brewers are really showing the Cubs and the rest of the nation that they have a lot to prove. Hopefully the Crew can bounce back and return to form in game 4 against newly acquired Cubs pitcher Rich Harden.
Tonight's Most Valuable Brewer: Manny Parra, struggled a in the 6th inning, but kept the team going with his bat going 2-2 with a double and a triple.
