He not only argued balls and strikes he threw his helmet and bat... As already mentioned, I also heard, on John Dewan's Stat of The Week show, that the Padres pitchers are significantly worse when they have Barrett behind the plate (instead of Bard) and that the team is under .500 when he plays. Of course, it could be a coincidence but I'm not entirely convinced that it is completely without merit.

They could've just put the extra game today and made it a 4-game series instead of a double header sometime later in the season. We are owed a game with them? Yes, there is a day-night double header on 9/15 at STL as makeup for the 4/29 Josh Hancock game that was postponed. The first game will be at 12:10 pm on WGN and the second game (originally scheduled for 2:55pm) will start at 7:10pm on CSN. FYI, I'm sure one of the reasons why they didn't schedule the double header for this series is because the Cardinals are already playing a day-night double header with the Brewers on Saturday (7/28). That is a makeup for a game that was postponed on 4/13.
Yeah, they lost the final series of the homestand but the Cubs were 7-3 in the 10 games AND they picked up one game in the division during that time (remember, they were 4.5 games back coming out of the All Star Break) and possibly one game picked up in the Wild Card standings as well. They did a great job!
We also could have been 3.5 games back. No, the Brewers are going to lose so 1.5 is the answer. Well, we can't win them all. Oh, I agree. It would have been nice to win today however.
LOL, and somehow the Brewers announcer tries to diminish the Cubs hit totals when they are getting shut out. Turnblow gives up a bases clearing double by Ray Durham
