I didn't watch the pillow fight at Wrigley today, but I did see the 7th inning and it was enough for me.
Lilly starts the Top of the 7th at 103 pitches. Now you're thinking OK, we'll see some Philly hitters work the counts and force him out of the game. Instead, he retires three batters on 8 pitches.
Then in the bottom of the 7th, the Cubs have a runner at third with one out. So anything put in play, more or less, has a chance to score the go-ahead run. Kosucke hits and K's. Then Theriot K's.
Writing was on the wall to take the Cubs (late money) and under (never went to 10.5) here. Instead, I went with the Phils and the over and got burned. But just a lot of bad baseball all around.
