Shaun Marcum scratched from start Tuesday
#Brewers Shaun Marcum will not start tomorrow vs. Toronto due to tightness in his right elbow. More information to follow after the game.

He has "tightness in his right elbow," according to the team. No word on how long he'll be out or what the team plans to do to replace him tomorrow.
I got mentioned in this article via HBT: "The Mets are appealing a scoring decision to try to get R.A. Dickey a no-hitter. They will lose."
It's a small thing, but it makes my day! I sought out the CC 2008 ruling - "judgment of the scorer was not ‘clearly erroneous,'" and realized this would likely be used as a precedent for the R.A. Dickey/Mets appeal. I'm glad it was useful. Now I should stop typing, or something.
