Thursday’s Game Notes: RattlersGameNotesJuly28

Answering my own question from last night in tonight’s game notes:

AFTER A SCHEDULED OFF DAY: There are nine off days on the Timber Rattlers 2011 schedule. On games played after the first eight scheduled off days this season, the Rattlers are 2-6.

Update on scores in the Brewers system for this afternoon:
MLB: Brewers 4, Cubs 2 (FINAL)
AZL: Angels 7, Brewers 6 (FINAL)

UPDATE: Well, it WAS 7-7 when I headed down for batting practice.  What happened? Oh, they originally had the tying run scoring instead of stopping at third.  Scroll down to the bottom of the ninth.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think that I need to have a sub sandwich*:

It's like this sign is ordering me to have a sub sandwich
