Game Thread #81: 13 miles, 192.5 yards to go!
As I'm sure no one needs to be told, today's the rubber match between the Cubs and Brewers. The Brewers are looking to continue their early-game dominance over Cubs pitchers, while the Cubs faithful have termed this a must-win game.
A couple roster moves: the Cubs put Rocky Cherry on the DL and recalled Billy Petrick, circumventing the rule saying a player must spend 10 days in the minors once sent down. The Brewers also shook up their bullpen, trading Jose Capellan to the Tigers for minor-league LHP Chris Cody.
Today's matchup pits Dave Bush for the good guys against Jason Marquis for the Cubbies. A much maligned free agent signing, Marquis hasn't been awful for the Cubs though he has struggled lately, not pitching past the sixth inning since May 24. Dave Bush looks to lower his ERA below 5.00 for the season while avoiding giving up the big inning that was a trademark of his starts to begin the year.
Lineups:
Milwaukee
Hart, RF
Hardy, SS
Braun, 3B
Fielder, 1B
Hall, CF
Estrada, C
Jenkins, LF
Weeks, 2B
Bush, P
Chicago
Soriano, LF
Theriot, SS
Lee, 1B
Ramirez, 3B
DeRosa, RF
Fontenot, 2B
Pagan, CF
Hill, C
Marquis, P
Go Brewers! Let's make sure Marquis continues to leave before the seventh.

its great
It wasn't everywhere yesterday.
Just heard breaking news here- not much to theYoungCrew fans but Mike Hargrove Seattle Mariners manager is going to resign. Strange they were just blazing a trail to the wild card.

Good thing

All star's..
I am thinking Fielder, Hardy, Cordero and Sheets will get in. I don't think any Brewers will be in the final vote.
by trl1020 on Jul 1, 2007 2:17 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Probably a good guess

by TheJay on Jul 1, 2007 3:11 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Damn
Put Bush in the pen.
Or, my other theory. A tag-team effort every 5th day with Bush/Vargas. Ned could just say "Hey, go out there and throw your hardest, filthiest stuff for 3 or 4 innings."
Would that not work? Am I an idiot for having that idea?
by Dikembe Meiztombo on Jul 1, 2007 3:16 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I had that idea involving Gallardo
by TheJay on Jul 1, 2007 3:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
well,
It's a business, is it not? Nobody around the city seems to be in love with either pitcher anyway. People loved Doug Davis, and they shipped him out. Right?
by Dikembe Meiztombo on Jul 1, 2007 3:26 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Bizarre
Also, if you spend big for another pitcher next offseason, that's less money down the road to sign the young guys we have now down the road.
