...and Mat Gamel silently cries in the corner.

Is the strike zone as bad as it looks on gameday? Bush had two pitches in the strike zone to Theriot, both were called balls and another right in the middle of the strike zone against Fukudome also called a ball. And that's just the last two hitters.

I'm glad I'm at school tonight.

[Invader3K]

Good lord, this team is sleep walking right now.

[And That]

It's too bad Butler pitched yesterday. He might have been able to give 4-6 innings tonight.

[hawing]

Maybe Dave Bush was distracted by thoughts of his newborn son. Bob mentioned in the broadcast tonight that Dave's wife had a baby boy on Friday.

 

That's all I've got.

[hawing]

Oh, swell, Ryan gets robbed, fooling Bob and thus fooling me.

 

Not really seeing the point of the "let's go cub-bies" chant with 2 outs in the 9th and a comfortable lead. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/indifferent.gif

So they could rub it in that the visitors have a large amount of fans there.

I unfortunately attending this game and it painful to watch Bush out there. He was missing the zone by feet not inches or getting squeezed. He couldn't come near the zone when Wells tried to sacrifice bunt. His big slow 68mph curve ball looked like a high school pitch. The whole play with the throw to the backstop, Kendall throwing it when he had no shot, and then either Bush missing it or Kendall's throw being off the mark allowing the runner from second to score was the masterpiece stroke. I don't know what happend to Bush he went from a control pitcher in 2006 to a guy who has declined each year and now looks completely beaten out there. That game was an embarassment.
