This seems to work as a vertical maximize for me. Preserves the  
horizontal position and size, maximizes only vertically:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/osascript -e '
set screenHeight to word 3 of (do shell script "defaults read / 
Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver | grep -w Height") as number

tell application "TextMate"
     set theBounds to bounds of front window
     set xPosition to item 1 of theBounds
     set windowWidth to item 3 of theBounds
     set bounds of front window to {xPosition, 0, windowWidth,  
screenHeight}
end tell
'

I bound it to ctrl-cmd-Z.
