Mike Cameron and J.J. Hardy also went deep to back a solid effort by Braden Looper (7-4).

When Lou Piniella arrived as Cubs’ manager two-and-a-half seasons ago,  he made it clear that one of his top priorities was instilling a winning attitude.  To hell with this “Lovable Losers” stuff.

He noted that the question he was asked included the word "can", which he took to mean "is it possible"?  Well, all you have to do is look to your right to see that, as of this morning, it says "2.5" for us under the "GB" column, and since this is July, and not Septembe... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1937235&src=rss 2009-07-04T09:00:58 Game Seventy-Eight: Cubs (39-38) vs. Brewers (42-38) Game Time - 12:05pm C.T.
