Selected notes for Sunday: We can Buehrle believe it ourselves, but Chicago's Mark Buehrle gets our top spot for Sunday since he's facing the Pirates, against whom he's 3-0 with a 1.96 ERA. Buehrle just edges out the for-real (in our estimation) Johnny Cueto, who has pitched well against the Tribe, with a 2.19 ERA in two starts. … Chad Billingsley has fanned 11 Angels in two outings, and should come close to doubling that amount in Appearance No. 3. … CC Sabathia is getting used to pitching at Yankee Stadium, so we'll rank him a few slots higher than Cole Hamels. Even though the Phillies' ace has a 2.57 ERA against the Yankees, he's yet to beat them. … Don't overlook Barry Zito, who was quite the good pitcher when he was pitching regularly in American League stadiums. In fact, he's 12-2 against the Mariners for his career. … Jair Jurrjens is pitching great this season, and already has eight innings of shutout ball against the Blue Jays on his résumé. … Tim Wakefield has a 2.43 ERA against the Mets for his career, giving him the edge over Josh Johnson, who we're a little bit concerned about due to his sore shoulder. … Ted Lilly is 5-1 with a 3.05 ERA in his career against the Padres, which is why he's ranked in the top half of pitchers, ahead of both 5-0 pitchers, Shairon Martis and Matt Palmer. We're not saying that they can't keep doing what they've been doing, but we still aren't quite sure how they've done what they've been doing. … Dontrelle Willis has never lost to the Rockies, and yes, we know he's not the same pitcher who used to wear a Marlins uniform, but he's looked better since his return than at any time since those Florida years. … Jon Garland is 4-11 with a 5.22 ERA against Oakland, which looks far better than Tim Redding's 12.71 ERA against the Red Sox. … Then there's Mike Hampton and his 9.53 ERA in two appearances against the Rangers just narrowly avoiding the cellar over Jason Hammel, who has allowed seven earned runs in eight innings pitched against the Tigers. P to the U.

Screw it as I'm looking at these games and can't find shit inner league play you know.
