7/1/07 Brewers (Bush) @ Cubs (Marquis): 1:20 PM CDT

[hawing]

You hoping for a brawl, Bwaz? And its potential for suspensions and/or injury? (Just wondering.)

[pebadger]

Calling for a big day for Jenks today.

[jazzytrav]

After seeing the stat that was shown earlier on FSN, I almost feel like if the Brewers start struggling in August or something I kinda want someone to no-hit 'em again so they can go on another tear

[PeaveyFury]

I think Marquis got hit right in the mouth by that bat. I'm 99% sure he's bleeding.

[Schlitz001]

If you can't wear out Marquis the traditional way, just shatter your bat into his face. Boy that looked bad.

[DHonks]

Was that Rick Helling on the mound?

With the state the Cubs pen is in Marquis will have to pitch with a few splinters in his face.

There is the Dave Bush we all know and love

[thablingster]

Well, the bad Dave Bush was about due for an appearance. lol

[Jim Goulart]

Hey, Capellan's our long guy today, right? Uh, wait...

[RyDogg66]

Im starting to lose patience with Dave Bush, my second favorite pitcher on the staff.

[wOOgiE22]

Aramis Ramirez = Brewer Killer

 

He is my new least favorite player

[thablingster]

I think we're fine with long relief if Bush completely implodes, Claudio Vargas probably could pitch a couple innings today, then we can piece the rest together with Spurls, Wise, Villanueva, etc.

1 bad inning after a great June?

[wisconsinfan47]

Sluggish Start. Ick.

 

Let's be patient and get to Marquis.

 

Also, this series feels eerily like the Mets series...Weekend series, Thursday day off, 14 games over .500 coming in...Lose a close one on Friday, win a blowout on Saturday...

 

We got killed by the Mets on Sunday, let's not do that again.

1 bad inning after a great June?

 

His June was pretty good, but I don't know that I'd call it great. Maybe it was great in comparison to the rest of his season.

[RyDogg66]

Yeah he's been too inconsistent all year. Driving me nuts. But like I said, I know how good he is/can be so Ive stuck by him.

 

By the way, Rickie Weeks close to falling into the .220's BA wise.

[Ennder]

3-1, 3.51 ERA, .646 OPS against looks pretty good to me in June for Bush.

[DougJones43]

By the way, Rickie Weeks close to falling into the .220's BA wise

 

Yeah. His progress is so far behind the other prospects, it's not even funny. And he was one of the first ones to get called up. He had a 2 year head start on Braun, and Braun is already light-years ahead of Weeks as a hitter. Weeks has been a huge disappointment in my eyes.

 

He's fine for the 8-spot in the lineup though. He'll take a walk, and has some pop. Hopefully, he can pull it all together at some point, but it's looking more and more like he might end up being an .775 OPS 2B, which isn't terrible, but it's certainly not what we'd hoped for or expected from him.

[DougJones43]

3-1, 3.51 ERA, .646 OPS against looks pretty good to me in June for Bush.

 

That's exactly what I said. Pretty good. Not great. He had 2 quality starts, and 2 non-quality starts. He didn't strike out a lot of batters, and his WHIP was about average.

[PeaveyFury]

That umpire is either drunk or blind. Granted, he put himself COMPLETELY out of position, but that was a horrible freaking call.

[Ennder]

Brewers of today look a lot like the Cubs of yesterday. Now this is typical Bush, there should be 2 outs with a runner on 1st and no runs in this inning, instead there are runners on the corners, no outs and a run in.

[crewcrazy]

Ugh...this is not the game to be making mental mistakes.

[DougJones43]

Man. If the Brewers are only able to win 1 game in this series, I'm going to be pretty disappointed.

[wisconsinfan47]

Apparently scoring 13 ones one day gives you a pass to not show up the next...
