A long road home...

Milwaukee comes limping back to town tonight after a 11-day/10 game road trip.

Tonight on FSN-HD:

Dave Bush (1-5) faces off against Tim Hudson (RHP, 7-3)

Wednesday: Suppan (2-4) vs Reyes (2-2)

Thursday: TBD (probably McClung) vs Campillo (1-0)

Friday: Parra (2-2) vs Houston Astros, Backe (4-5)

Brewers went ahead and signed Julian Tavarez in a low-risk move to add experience to the pen. He tried out for the team in DC over the weekend. They liked.

Female fans' take, on Ryan Braun (odd).

Greg Maddux could be traded by the deadline. Chicago (Cubs) is a likely return, however Milwaukee should always be considered considering his brother is the pitching coach.

Other news from the Dairy State

Aaron Kampan's grandfather was hurt during the tornado that took place in Northern Iowa.

In the wake of Tom Crean ditching town to Indiana....Buzz Williams has one more credit to his cause as head coach. Today, Jeronne Maymon made a verbal committment to Marquette. He still has to finish his senior year people. Don't get too excited. Buzz is a strong recruiter, let us see how well he can coach. Not bad though, I must admit....Marquette has landed a number of recruits who are recognized as the states top player.

Jon Budmayr, the heralded QB who picked Wisconsin last week, is reported to be a key pick-up for the Badgers. Some say his height is a concern (just over 6 feet), however he is being compared to the likes of Chase Daniels. This is a great addition at the QB position.

The Badgers were picked in the top 10 by SI at the end of the season (2007). Most have them picked in the top 15 (10-15). Here they are picked 12th.

Chris Carter (ex-Viking receiver) has a son who is quite the high school stud down in Florida. He is being recruited by Wisconsin.

  1. Good lord Scottage! This blog is prolific. Do you ever leave the computer?! I don't have much faith in tonight's pitching match up, but tomorrow I'm going to the game, and it'll be nice to see Suppan. Hopefully we get a 'W'.

    You betcha! It's a hobby Shawn. You'll find many once you become married.
