7/5/08 Pirates (Maholm) at Brewers (Bush), 6:05 PM CDT

[thablingster]

Considering it will be Negro League Throwback Night, I put a little something together:

 

Pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates (40-45):

Pitching for your Milwaukee Brewers (47-39):

I figured having an IGT would give us something to do while we wait for C.C. news. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Here's to hopin Bush has another great game. I think we should light up Maholm, concidering he is a lefty.

[BrewCrewForever]

Here's to a series win and possibly going for a sweep tomorrow! Start the home stand off right boys!

[crewcrazy]

Over/Under on the number of home runs J.J. Hardy hits tonight -- 2.5. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Hopefully there's a big announcement made sometime during tonight's game. Imagine Brian Anderson pulling a Suzyn Waldman if a Sabathia trade is announced during the game -- "OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!"

 

Edit: Lineups...

 

2B Rickie Weeks

SS JJ Hardy

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

RF Corey Hart

CF Mike Cameron

3B Bill Hall

C Jason Kendall

P Dave Bush

 

Bill Hall's career numbers against Maholm? 9 for 15, 2 2B, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 1 BB, 0 K http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Are we really right on the verge of this deal or are you guys just trying to entertain yourselves on a long holiday weekend? 'Cause i'll jump right on the wagon and go on CC watch too, just give me the go ahead...

[splitterpfj]

I was hoping for a chance to catch the Cardinals tonight, but I'll take a blown save by the Cubbies anytime.

 

Maholm as been pitching well of late, I like the Brewers in the matchup, but Bush can't just throw it up there tonight.

[brewtank34]

Way to go Wood!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

 

Down w/the sCrUBs!!!!!!!

A little of both. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Buster Olney and Ken Rosenthal have been saying that a lot of baseball insiders believe Sabathia has made his last start for the Indians. Doug Melvin is threatening to pull LaPorta off the table if the deal isn't done soon.

 

Edit: While it's nice the Cubs lost, would someone tell everybody who works for FSN Wisconsin to stop counting chickens before they've hatched -- especially when Dave Bush is starting this game?

Sabathia is going to parachute in from a plane and land on the pitchers mound. Ned will come out of the dugout with a Brewers uniform and C.C. with proceed to bail Dave Bush out of a major jam and then win the game with a home run.

That would be awesome, but I don't think anything could beat Kevin Mench's WWE-style entrance after the Carlos Lee trade. Cameramen literally followed him through the Miller Park hallways as he made his way into the clubhouse. The only thing missing was Jim Ross yelling "My God! That's Kevin Mench's music! Kevin Mench is here tonight!"

Last time I checked, Maholm didn't pitch for the Reds, so this can't be right.

please just let this happen...

[ELCABALLO45]

Cam Boogy! Gone to suviner(?) city

[owbc]

Nice to see Cam go deep again!

[sheetskout]

I'll take anything I can get from Mike Cameron offensively....

[ELCABALLO45]

Sit down McClouth and say sorry for playing way over your head this year

[sheetskout]

Dave Bush

Jeckyl Hyde

 

 

Which one?

[ELCABALLO45]

Just this at bat makes me so glad we got rid of Estrada

[ELCABALLO45]

God I love the Doorman

[sheetskout]

God I love the Doorman

I sat behind the Doorman not too long ago. We get those seats a lot. One time last season, when Bonds and the Giants came to town, he would hold up a copy of "Game of Shadows" and a Sharpie everytime Bonds walked his way. It was hilarious...

 

[ELCABALLO45]

HAHAHA that is awesome!

[owbc]

Dave Bush looks like he's pitching for his job.

[PeaveyFury]

Boy, for a great defensive CF, Cameron sure has sucked out there this year.

[thablingster]

Not sure which was uglier there, LaRoche's baserunning or Weeks' throw to the plate.

[PeaveyFury]

Jeez Rickie, make a decent throw.

 

Nice to see our wonderful defensive issues have returned today.
