you know what is great about a losing streak this long.............

At least Josh Geer, of the Pads, a rook --

(and I don’t think that name is entirely correct) has held the ’crew to 2 runs, entering the bottom of the 6th — still 2-1 Milwaukee.

It would be nice to have a tying run...

…somewhere in the ballpark.

As it stands right now the tying run for the Cubs only exists in the future. At least the Padres got him on base.
