with CC in the pen if it matters

Went to the game, yelled and clapped my head off and couldn’t have loved it any more than I did. However, right after it ended, they announced over the PA that Dave Bush would pitch today. I felt a little regret that Sheets didn’t come through his bullpen session feeling good enough to pitch, but I was flushed with so many tremendous good vibes that I brushed it off.

Now, back at home after celebrating with friends, I see Sheets is pitching. I mean, hey, that’s great. Way to suck it up, Sheetsie. But I didn’t think they’d announce to the crowd Bush was pitching Saturday if that wasn’t going to happen.

My point? I have none. Holy sweet Jesus, Mary and Joseph was that a friggin’ amazing time out at the ballpark.

Go Brewers!

Can you imagine going from limping into the playoffs with CC, Bush, and Suppan.

Now it could be CC, Gallardo, and a healthy enough Sheets?

What a difference a week makes

I’m stoked as anyone to have Ben start today (in fact, I’m wearing my lucky Ben Sheets #15 Brewers T-shirt today. Which gets some bizarre looks here in the land of Mannymania). But what’s the contingency plan?

We may need to hold Parra back for Monday (if necessary — I’m making an additional assumption that if a Monday game is necessary, Sveum wouldn’t want to put YoGa out there on 3 days rest.) Do we prefer Parra to Bush? So if Ben doesn’t have it, or starts hurting, do we go to Bush in the early innings today?
