    My uncle once rented his house out to Marvin Jones.

    Another great night for that vaunted Phils offense: one run and three hits through eight innings.

    They didn't have to juggle squat. Seth McClung, a reasonably effective starter from May to July, could have pitched today's game against Pittsburgh, leaving Sabathia and Sheets for St. Louis, both well-rested.

    The Brewers will have three off-days in the course of two weeks, including two off-days bookended around this week's Cardinals' series, but Yost is such a fucking creature of habit, he did nothing to maximize it. Wouldn't want to rock the boat by doing something pragmatic for once.

    And a division title is gravy right now for the Brewers. As much as I hate to say it, the Cubs' sweep at Miller Park saw to that. Very unlikely the Brewers are going to make up the gap, even with head-to-head's to come.

    Getting into the playoffs is paramount. That's why the Cardinals are more important to the Brewers right now than the Cubs, which is why I think the rotation should have been altered a tad to give the Brewers their best chance in their final head-to-head with the Cardinals.

    A Brewers' sweep could put them up 5 1/2 in the Wild Card, why not go for it with your best pitchers?

    Holding Sabathia back 2 days is not juggling the rotation?

    And now it's crunch time for the Rays as they play only AL East opponents for the next month or so.

    You don't even juggle your rotation for games in August like that.

    September, different story.
