Cubs vs. Bush

And the 4th pitcher we face against the Brewers is the not so intimidating Dave Bush.  I like having the numbers in front of me, so I hope you have benefited from my boredom as well.  I am going to continue doing this until we lose, and then I will do it only when it is a big series, i.e. against the Cardinals or the Brewers.  The numbers are definitely in the Cubs favor today! 

• David Bush: 29 year old 6'2, 205 lb, RH made his debut in July of 2004 for the Toronto Blue Jays and joined the Brewers in 2006
• In Bush's career Lefties have batted .260 and Righties .269
  
• At home Bush is better with a 2.85 E.R.A. compared to his away E.R.A. of 6.95 (This year) in his career: 3.74/5.42
  
• Unfortunately, Bush is better during day games as well with a 2.54 E.R.A compared to 5.18 away.
• Bush is currently 5-8
• The last time the Cubs faced him: April 03: We chased him out in the 5th after knocking him for 6 ER and drawing 5 walks to his 4 SO.
