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.

Looks like we caught Johnson on an off-day... 24 strikes, 23 balls.

OC, that cheer is the greatest contribution of the Buckethead Brigade to the world.

I'm watching the Marlins feed

Pathetically nonchalant from Weeks there. Who does he think he is, Jose Reyes?

PaulNoonan said...

Bonifacio is having quite the game.

PaulNoonan said...

Boris Badenhop? Is he afraid of moose and squirrel?

PaulNoonan said...

Moose, squirrel, and large first baseman.

PaulNoonan said...

Bad woot-off today. Why is Kendall in the game?

PaulNoonan said...

Ooh. Trevor on no rest against the middle of the order. This should at least be interesting.

E.S.K. said...

Why did Kendall come in??

OC Lurker said...

Have you guys seen the hells bells routine in person yet? TV does it no justice.

tracker said...

No way Rivera catches that

E.S.K. said...

Trevor Hoffman is ridiculous.

DannyNoonan said...

NICE. First Place!

PaulNoonan said...

Sweet.
