LHP Rich Hill (AAA: 7-1, 1.80 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, 100 IP, 135 Ks, 21 BBs) will try to end his big league struggles (0-4, 9.31 ERA, 1.97 WHIP, 19.1 IP, 11 Ks, 15 BBs). The Cards will counter with RHP Jeff Weaver (4-11, 6.32 ERA), who, sadly, doesn't look as stoned in this picture as he normally does.

 

At game time, winds will be blowing out to CF at about 10 mph. It will be partly cloudy with a 20% chance of showers. The game time temp will be 83°F (though it will feel more like 90°F). The chance of thunderstorms will get better as the game progresses...

First team to 10 runs wins...if the wind is blowing in. If it's blowing out, first to 20.

 

At game time, winds will be blowing out to CF at about 10 mph.

 

HR Derby, here we come. Pujols goes deep at least twice.

 

Not to be outdone, ARam goes deep thrice. =P~

There are about 400 inappropriate things I could say about that picture.

 

I hear Lance Bass is a huge Dodgers fan :lol:

Wind blowing out to CF? Ouch. Against the Cardinals? Double-ouch. Rich has his work cut out for him. Fortunately, I'm banking that Aramis and Nevin continue their hot power streaks, and each goes yard at least once. Now if the Cubs could only remember what RBI's are...
