A big night for the Rattlers
Here is some of the media coverage of the Dave Bush appearance with the Rattlers last night.
From the PC:
Dan Powers of the PC has a photo gallery and this one is my favorite.
Fox 11 had this story on the leadup to the night
And this is the only other Bush song that I know.
From the PC:
Traffic snaked all the way back from North Casaloma to U.S. 41 as 5,433 fans came to see Dave Bush make the first Brewers rehab start in a black and maroon uniform. And the crowd didn't leave disappointed.There is a video at the link that does not have an embed code.
The 29-year-old right hander looked solid by striking out five in 4 2/3 in the prescribed 55 pitches. He struck out the side in the second on 77 and 67 mph breaking balls before finishing off the inning with an 87 mph fastball.
"It felt good," said Bush, who has been on the disabled list since June 23 with a micro tear of the right triceps. "I haven't pitched to a hitter in about three weeks, so I was excited to get back on the mound in a game situation."

That's happening
Brick and Carl and Fairfax all wanted in this morning, but I'm going to hold off turning things over to them...for now.
Yes, the regular morning updates will be late for the third day in a row...or is it four? Not sure. Anyway, It's been a little busy around the ballpark for the last few days.
Here is the PC story on that whole deal.

Here is the PC story on that whole deal.
The phone rang Thursday at the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers' ticket office and, according to team president Rob Zerjav, the voice on the other end had this to say:See you tonight.
"I don't know why I'm calling for tickets, but my boyfriend said I had to call because some guy is pitching on Friday and he said that we needed to come out and see him."
"Him" would be Dave Bush, a starting pitcher for Milwaukee who will become the first Brewers player to make a rehab assignment with the minor-league baseball club today in Grand Chute.
"I think this is something we've been waiting for and what the Timber Rattlers fans have been waiting for," Zerjav said.

Yes, this is worth an update tonight
Dave Bush will be starting for the Timber Rattlers on Friday night.
Here is a link to the announcement at the Brewers site.
Bush, who has been on Milwaukee's disabled list since June 23, is slated to start and go three to four innings on Friday night. Bush was 3-4 with a 5.67 ERA in 15 games (14 starts) for the Brewers before being placed on the DL.Details about ticket availability and all the other trappings of a Friday Night are at the link.
He is the first Milwaukee Brewers player to be sent to the Timber Rattlers for a rehab assignment. This will be the first time the Timber Rattlers have hosted a Major Leaguer on a rehab start from their parent club since Sean White and Cha Seung Baek of the Seattle Mariners made starts for the Timber Rattlers on August 17 and 19 during the 2007 season.
Here is a link to the announcement at the Brewers site.
