So, Rob is apparently still smashed from two days ago so I took it upon myself to start this. If someone else wants to, then I suppose delete this. Anyway, here's the match up:

Maybe Halladay will have some kind of frek toe stubing incident and have to miss a start.

 

Seriously though, weve been pretty good againse aces this season, so hopefully that trend can continue. Granted, most have been at home, but Chicago, Toronto, whatever. Its just Wrigley Field, Canada, right?

Sorry for being pessimistic guys, but I'm going to count this one as a loss.

 

Of course, I'll still follow the game from work though.

Cubs lineup

 

Johnson, LF

Fukudome, RF

Lee, 1B

Ramirez, DH

Edmonds, CF

DeRosa, 3B

Fontenot, 2B

Blanco, C

Cedeno, SS

Marquis, P

 

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES They moved Fukudome up!

 

But if you're going to throw out Derosa, Fontenot, Blanco, and Cedeno in order against Halladay...it's going to be a bad day.

Looks a tad like a "Lets get out of here and lose" lineup. Hopefully it doesn't end up that way.

Who do we face sunday? This very well could turn out to be our first 3-gamer of the year if we're not careful.

I had this odd dream that Marquis was pitching for the Jays and Halladay was pitching for us. It was awesome.

BTW, Halladay pitches deeper into ballgames more than any pitcher I've seen in quite a while.

 

He's had 3 games this year where he went 9. 1 game where he went 8 and 2/3. 3 more where he went 8. And 3 more where he went at least 7.

 

He's averaging over 7 2/3 innings per start. So if the Cubs are going to win, they pretty much are going to have to beat Halladay. And they're not likely to do it by walking much because Halladay does a great job of throwing strikes. He has walked 12 in over 102 innings this year.

Oh my what an awful lineup.

 

Johnson is hitting .232 .291 .303 .594 against righties...and HES LEADING OFF? That's 0-4 right there.

 

Absolutely no Soto in there when he's actually starting to pick it up, and there's the benefit of the DH? Horrible.

 

This is just an awful awful lineup and probably will end up being the worst of the year when all is said and done.

 

Hopefully we can luck our way to a victory.
