playing cleveland under 9
playing the cubs plus the 116
the ball was flying out of jacobs field yesterday because the weather/wind conditions were ideal. but the storm has cooled things down overnight and through the afternoon and the balls that were carrying last night should be routine fly balls today. not to mention two solid pitchers are going at it. minnesota has played two slow-pitch softball games in a row with nintendo-esque scores. sabathia has been overpowering at home this season (a gaudy 34 strikeouts vs. 6 walks). silva getting no run support lately. number is way too high.
hill as a dog is an obligatory play. sosa has been one of those guys who, throughout his career, is kind of all over the place. great outing. horrible outing. horrible outing. ok outing. you get the point. he's also one of those 'live arm' guys who can't always find the plate consistently. if the cubs are patient, they'll get a lot of baserunners. hill is efficient and capable of holding the mets to 4 or less. if they can do that, ill take my chances with the dog.
