- Cardinals' playoff hopes diminish
  
  MLB.com | Sep 16, 07
  
  ST. LOUIS -- The Cardinals put a punctuation mark of sorts on their world championship defense Sunday. But it wasn't an exclamation point, a period or even a question mark. It was more like the three dots of an ellipsis, leaving the final two weeks of the season to tail off quietly. A 4-2 loss to the Cubs dropped St. Louis seven games behind first-place Chicago with 14 games remaining, and no more head-to-head meetings between the two rivals. Milwaukee also stands in the Cardinals' way, one game out of first place and six ahead of the three-time defending National League Central champions. The...

  Philadelphia became the first Major League Baseball franchise to reach 10,000 losses yesterday, after a lopsided defeat by St. Louis; the 127-year-old club is now 8,810-10,000, a record that reflects one championship season and many more of total futility.
