[Invader3K]

Nothing to instill confidence in snapping a losing skid like Dave Bush taking the mound!

[SlideBernieSlide]

Another solid start of pitching into the 7th and only giving up 1 run, I'll lobby to change Bushy's nickname from that (Bushy) to Mr. August.

[BrewCrewForever]

For some reason I have confidence in Bush tonight. I feel he will be the stopper.

[jhart05]

I'm not seeing the game listed on my DirecTV guide yet. Anyone else?

 

Time Warner people do you have it listed?

I've got it listed on mine up in Wausau on channel 669 at 9:00pm

 

[crewcrazy]

According to Witrado, Braun is available to pinch-hit tonight and hopes to start tomorrow afternoon.

 

On a slightly off-topic note, for those interested in seeing Michael Phelps' final race, it's supposed to be on around 9:50 PM CT on NBC.

[jhart05]

I've got it listed on mine up in Wausau on channel 669 at 9:00pm

 

 

Humm, still not on mine. Tomorrow is thou. Strange.

 

Edit: We're good now.

[2008 world champs]

Dear Brewers,

 

I'm a sinkerballer.....chase my pitches...

 

Derek Lowe

 

PS : I threw a no hitter once upon a time so I MUST be really good.

[JET15]

Cubs lose, Cubs lose.... let's gain some ground tonight

 

Edit: bummer on the slide, but his hand did come off

[yount19.u]

Cubs lose, Cubs lose.... let's gain some ground tonight

 

Cubs just lost. Cardinals won, though. The Brewers need a win badly tonight, otherwise thing will start to get uncomfortable with the Cards.

[ELCABALLO45]

The Dodgers are red hot right now.

[2008 world champs]

That song by Zombie Nation pumps me up......but I can stop hearing it any time now....

[yount19.u]

This sucks. My stomach is telling me this could be a really bad night.

[Mass Haas]

Well, it is East Coast time -- can I go to bed now, Mr. Bush?

[JET15]

OK, we've got something going here with that hit from Counsell. Congrats on the milestone.

 

NOMAR! Oh, yeah

[yount19.u]

Counsell's 1000th hit which sets up a Brewer run. Nice little milestone for Craig.

[JET15]

Lowe must not have the sinker working tonight because he's not really throwing too many

[JET15]

Wow, I hope Corey's okay. Could have hurt his back

[yount19.u]

Cory Hart with the face smasher!

[yount19.u]

I think Hardy may need a couple mental days off. He is way too tense up there.

[wibadgers23]

I keep waiting for Hardy to get hot again and it's just not happening.

[JET15]

Nice solid hit by Cameron. OK, now let's tie this thing up. 1 on, no outs
