We have a day game today. The Brewers send Dave Bush (9-10, 4.24 ERA, 42 BB/103 SO) against the Cubs' Rich Harden (10-2, 2.04 ERA, 50 BB/170 SO). Bushie and the Crew will have their work cut out for them today. I think it's safe to call this, "the biggest start of Dave Bush's Career." Hopefully it will go better for him than it did for Ben Sheets last night, and hopefully the bats will stay alive. No line up yet, but we'll update when it's available.
Update (from Paul): Your Lineup (Now With Handedness!):
CF Mike Cameron - R
2B Ray Durham - S
LF Ryan Braun - R
1B Prince Fielder - L
SS J.J. Hardy - R
RF Corey Hart - R
3B Craig Counsell - L
C Jason Kendall - R
RHP Dave Bush - R

This is decidedly not good.
F Yeah!
Nice job Clunger.
Who comes out to pitch the 12th? The Crew will send up Hardy, Hart and Counsell.
Whew. That was a close one.
What did Edmonds do to get thrown out?
course Kapler would have got that. Less dramatically too.
Edmonds argued a pair of National League strikes. Of course, prior to that, the ump called a pair of NL balls.
Wood again.
Now would be a good time for Corey Hart to heat up.
It would be a very good time. Of course, it's more-likely he'll be bunting.
Let's here it for patience!
Huzzah!
Yeah JJ.
Fuck Hart. He can't even get a bunt down.
Yes he can. I've seen him.
But why is he bunting?
I hate sac bunts.
But we get a double on a huge gamble.
2nd and 3rd with nobody out.
Does that count as Clutch?
Hell Yeah Corey!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!!!!
Oh come one.
Fucking stupid baserunning.
Now it's up to Joe Dillon.
you have to be shitting me
unfuckingbelievable.
No, we're not shitting you.
More stranded runners. FUCK!
Sunovabitch.
CV in.
Pinch runner Jason Marquis?
Marquis made it to within 90 feet of home. It's 2 out though.
FUCK!
Shit. What a waste of an afternoon.
Afternoon, summer, season.
The gross thing is that now we have to root for them to go destroy the Mets.
Time to drink heavily.
nice thread anyway
nail meet coffin
I've reflected on this loss. Had a manhattan. Part of another. These taste good. Gonna drink 12 more.
I don't think that's the nail in the coffin yet. I think taking 1 of 3 from the Cubs at Wrigley is fine. But need to take 5 of 6 from the Reds/Pirates now. And hopefully 2 of 3 from the resting Cubs at Miller Park. And hopefully the Cubs will beat up on the Mets.
blowing the lead, that is some mental shit right there, and this team has already shown a complete inability to handle adversity
I think they've been strikes and gutters when it comes to handling adversity. Firstbasemen beating up starting pitcher = adversity = winning the next bunch of games, for example.
that was blown out of proportion because it was in the dugout as opposed to the club house. I have it on good authority that Craig Counsell routinely gets in brawls behind the scenes.
Even still, that is energizing adversity, blowing a lead and losing in protracted humiliation against your bitter rival is deflating adversity.
Yeah, It's certainly not a good thing. Add to that that it taxed our pitching staff, and it looks pretty bad.
Still, GO BREWERS!
yes, I can be down and still love the Crew.
I'm more disappointed that my trip to Cincy fell through this weekend.
