Game 41: Montreal responds to a 2-run Chicago first with four runs of their own, then answers a three-run Chicago eighth with a five-run outburst that includes the first home runs of the season for Michael Cuddyer and Chris Widger. Those are the only innings that Montreal scores, but it's enough for a 9-7 win.

Game 60: Philly puts the Spectres in an early hole once again, taking a 6-2 lead in the fourth, but the Spectres rally this time and pull within a run in the eighth. With men on second and third, Jose Lopez strikes out and Khalil Greene grounds out to end the inning. Bob Wickman ptiches the ninth for Philly, allowing a leadoff double to Carlos Delgado.

We are headed to Milwaukee to face the Bears.

Game 67: Prospect Paul Voisard is brilliant, with his best outing of the season (6 IP, 3H, 3BB, 1ER), but Ambiorix Burgos is anything but, and Milwaukee rallies for a 5-4 win in the series opener.

Game 72: Eddie Guardado isn't so lucky this time, allowing two runs in the top of the ninth to give away a one-run lead. Melvin Mora leads off the bottom half with a home run and we go to extras. Jason Frasor walks two batters in the 10th, then allows a single to Moises Alou. Carl Crawford's throw home is close, but not soon enough to get the runner. San Diego goes up 8-7. And that's where it ends, as Montreal manages only a one-out single in the bottom half.

The Spectres head to St. Louis to face the Cthulu (30-42).

Game 73: Rodrigo Lopez shuts down the Spectre bats and the Cthulu score in the eighth off reliever Ambiorix Burgos to steal a 2-1 win from Montreal in the series opener.

Game 74: AJ Burnett pitches brilliantly, but not quite as well as Jason Marquis, who comes within one batter of throwing a 2-hit shutout. Rudy Seanez gets the final out after Marquis walks Ken Griffey Jr. in the ninth and the Cthulu beat the Spectres 1-0.

Game 77: The Spectres outhit Frisco 10-8, but can't get a run in against starter Chris Capuano (who drives one in himself), and lose a 3-1 decision.

Game 78: Luis Nieter gets back on track with five solid innings and the Spectre bullpen goes four scoreless as they take the series with a 3-2 win.

Montreal will close the first half at Chicago (35-43).
