PrintMilwaukee Brewers at Philadelphia Phillies, Sep 4, 2010 6:05 PM CDT
David Thomas Bush against Harry Leroy "Doc" Halladay III? I'm not liking Milwaukee's chances in this one.

Follow the jump for all the usual customers.
Dave Bush (7-11, 4.71) is an anagram for "Shave Bud". It is also an anagram of "Have buds", which could endear him to new teammate Jeremy Jeffress. David Thomas Bush is an anagram of "A David Thumbs Hos", which probably isn't good road behavior.
Roy Halladay (16-10, 2.27) is my favorite pitcher in the majors. This season, the man has a 2.79 FIP, a 2.91 xFIP and a 3.15 tRA. Halladay's game is all about his pinpoint precision--he only gives up about one walk while striking out about eight hitters every nine innings. He doesn't allow many homeruns either (.71 HR/9). He hasn't had an ERA over 2.79 since 2007 and his FIP since then has topped at 3.06. Fangraphs has him throwing a fastball, a cutter, a curveball and a changeup, with none of those pitches being below average. Simply put, he's an amazing pitcher.
Lineup:
2B Weeks
RF Hart
LF Braun
1B Fielder
3B McGehee
CF Dickerson
SS Escobar
C Lucroy
RHP Bush

Todd Coffey faced three batters (8 pitches) Wednesday, and also pitched on Tuesday.

Is this another WMLW game?
If so I think I will play Gears 2 until the Badger game starts and listen to the game?
"It's a joke. It's all a joke.
Maybe this will be like that night they found a way to carve up Charpenter
You know go out and destroy an Ace just to drive us all mad with the tease of what this team can do when hitting on all 8 cylinders.
"It's a joke. It's all a joke.
Did I read Gameday right Corey Hart Homered?
Well he always did feel more comfortable in Philly remember he told us that in 2008
"It's a joke. It's all a joke.
Whaddya know...
2 IP yesterday for Loe.. and hes warming tonight

Okay, so after watching the replay.
Lucroy >.<!!!!!!!!! He needed to protect that plate a bit better than that effort.

Thanks for nothing.
"Based on stereotypes that are totally untrue and I do not agree with, you would maybe-not be a very good driver..."
"Oh man am I a woman?!"
THIRTIETH!
Maybe he should play first base instead. That is, he should lie out there and we can step on him when we get a hit.
