Daytime Open Thread

Why work? We've got baseball!

It’s Josh Johnson v. David Bush in the series finale. Mr. Johnson is an enormous righty from Minneapolis. He’s been fantastic this year sporting and ERA+ of 188, and a little, tiny WHIP of 1.080.

Dave Bush is, as always, Dave Bush.

In the lineup, we have a Chris Duffy and a Mike Rivera sighting. It’s worth mentioning that Rivera caught Bush’s near-no-no the other day. Just think what could have been had Jason Kendall and his superior staff-handling ability caught that day. Alas. Here’s your lineup:

2B Rickie Weeks
SS J.J. Hardy
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
CF Mike Cameron
3B Bill Hall
RF Chris Duffy
C Mike Rivera
RHP Dave Bush

Only 4 Brewers have faced Johnson before, with Bill Hall having the greatest success in a very limited sample. Enjoy the game, and the Woot-Off.
