Tonight's game

Looks like we'll get our first look at Paul Maholm tonight, albeit a day late. As much as I'd rather see someone else get this shot (Bullington or Snell, preferrably) it's still something to be excited about, especially since just last May Maholm got blasted in the face with a liner, putting his future in doubt. A lot has been made of his similarities to Duke. If he's half as good as Duke has been, we'll be in great shape. Meanwhile the Brewers look to make up some ground on .500, trying to halve the number of teams in the NL Central with decade-plus long losing streaks. Judging by our play of late, the right team may be in town for them to do just that.
