This is what Brad looked like (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) after he gave up back-to-back home runs in the top of the 9th last night to lose 7-4 to the Brewers. Ryan Braun hit a 3-run home run and immediately thereafter Prince Fielder hit his 36th of the year.
This is a picture of what the Astros fans looked like (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) when "Lights Out" was called in to "save" the game. And then promptly didn't.
Also, at the time of publishing, the Cubs were losing to the Rockies 11-2. From what I've seen on gamecasts, the Rockies have scored 9 unanswered runs and most of them have been with 2 outs.
Finally, prior to today's game Ryan Braun had 279 at bats. To qualify for the batting title you multiple the number of games your team played by 3.1 and that's the number of at-bats you need to have. That means for the season a player needs 502 at-bats. *That means Braun needs 5 at-bats per game for the next 47 games in order to qualify. Of course, he's hitting .344, which is higher than the current qualified leader. So good luck Ryan.
*(at least, this is how I understand it to be)
