Ohhhhhhhh, now I understand

Apparently the Cardinals didn't beat the Cubs Saturday. According to the Cubs' website, the "shorthanded Cubs" "fell short" against the Cardinals. Here is a summary:

"Sean Marshall tossed six solid frames, but he scored half of the runs produced by a makeshift Cubs lineup, and the 'pen allowed things to get away in Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Cards."

Awfully early for the excuses, isn't it?
