Well, I guess I always want us to win. But I really hope Gallardo replaces Bush in the rotation, as I know ninety percent of you do.

[Blancofan1]

if Bush goes to the pen and McClung is gone, i'd be ok with that

[SeriesFinale]

I think given Yost's comments on Rome today, he'll keep Bush in the pen for long relief

Nope, Dave Bush is a STAR

Side note: GOGOGO Doug Davis, both tonight and for the near future.

I'll second that. Best of luck Sharpie.

[twobrewers]

Way to go Weeks.

 

But to be fair, if he was a better fielder - we wouldn't have needed it.

I third it.

And That, thanks for putting your cap on. No need to wait until the 10th inning in the future though...

We all had ours on, but now we know it's yours that does the trick.

 

I'd imagine that the decision is pretty much made on who goes to the pen (bush) unless some terrible breakdown occurs elsewhere.

I don't think it's bad to KINDA SORTA hope he's a bit lackluster to cement that decision. At least there would be some early closure on the matter,

and if it takes that one loss to make the point clear, then so be it, it helps win more games later on, instead of giving chance after chance trying to make a more scrutinized decision.

I'm not completely in the Dave Bush Anti-Fan Club, though. I think he'll be a solid reliever, and an important part of future wins. He'll lead the league in 2 inning wins, mark my words!

jAMIE was just on wssp...

I was hoping to see some of these nice defensive plays I was hearing about on Baseball Tonight but instead I got a 5 minute lesson on David Ortiz's hitting. Thanks Baseball Tonight. I suppose I was asking for too much with multiple Brewer highlights but a guy can dream can't he?

[ELCABALLO45]

Web Gems:

 

#3 JJ Hardy

 

#1 Bill Hall

Brewers were the #1 (Hall) and #3 (Hardy) Web Gems.

 

[Blancofan1]

solid pitching, mostly

clutch hitting

two of the top five web gems;

 

great to actually live in the area and get to see the whole game, sorry to anyone who didn't get a chance to watch--it was a very good game

[bacon06]

Son of a Vondruke cause I turned my attention elsewhere.

Eric better get himself together ,But at least Yost has Options

[RightFieldCoder]

It's ok if Bush loses tomorrow. Then it SHOULD be obvious that Gallardo replaces Bush in the rotation and not CV or Manny.

 

How about Bush leaves after giving up 9 in 3 innings. And we tie the come from behind record with a 2 run Hall walk off. How mad would the Reds fans be after that?

[endaround]

Bush having unusual control problems against a talented Cubs lineup--Bullpen!

 

Villanueva getting chased by the AAAA(I'm feeling generous) Giant line---Brilliant!

[drezdn]

With Gagne on the mound we win... in the next inning.

[adambr2]

Eric better get himself together ,But at least Yost has Options

 

I read that and my immediate instinctive thought was, "We can option Yost down to AAA?"

 

Then my brain clicked half a second later and I got it, but it still made me laugh.
