‘Member? When Being A First Place Team Meant Something?

Whas Happened In Sports Last Night

• MLB: Reed Johnson’s eight inning grand slam sealed the win for the Cubs against a Diamonbacks team that is currently sitting comfortably in the first place slot in the NL West…with a 50-51 record. We’re not betting on any NL West teams to win the World Series this year. Cubs 10, Arizona 6. [AP]
• Brazilian Soccer: Sao Paulo couldn’t contain Internacional’s Nilmar who dropped two goals on the club. Internacional 2, Sao Paolo 0. [ESPN]
• U19 Euro: It took 120 minutes to wrap up the Germany V Czech Republic game and the Germans came through late to snag a victory. Germany 2, CR 1. [Yahoo]
• MLB: Tack on another complete game for the Milwaukee Brewers’ ace C.C. Sabathia. It’s his third in as many starts, which means the National League is a lot easier to handle than the American League. Milwaukee 3, St. Louis 0. [SI]
