My uneducated lineup prediction is, as follows:

 

Pods 7

Iguchi 4

AJP 2

Dye 0

Crede 5

Gload 3

Uribe 6

Mackowiak 9

Anderson 8

Took me awhile to figure out what the numbers were supposed to be

Interesting thought though.. that outfield defense wouldn't be too bad, and I like Dye at DH.

Anderson will for some reason be sitting tonight, and Mack will be in CF. Dont' ask me how it's going to happen, it's just going to happen.

Wow, the Royals' starter has a lower ERA than our starter. How often does that happen?

Are we confined to looking at this season?

Well, it was only a joke. But, whatcha got?

About as often that a prime-years-of-his-career-former-league-leader-in-ERA pitcher suddenly loses his fastball.

Hudson has 4 quality starts in a row. This one will not be a cake walk (are they ever anymore?). Add to this that we'll see Halladay on Friday, let's hope we're not about to hit another "bump" in the road...

Hudson has been pretty good lately. You want to jump him early in the count because he throws strikes and doesn't have overly impressive stuff, and he does still have an ERA of a hair over 5 and a half at home this year.

I hope Thome gets the day off tonight, and Konerko, too, if needed.

 

I want them ready for Halladay.

Neither is expected to be in the lineup today, especially Thome.

Good. We need them rested for Toronto.

When Thome gets back, I expect him to go on one of his homer tears.

 

I just hope he gets back soon and that nothing lingers.

Man up Freddy! Ur last 2 starts have kept us in the game. We need more today.

any official word on Paulie?

 

With an off day tomorrow, I expect him to rest.

 

But Hudson being a right-hander, I'm hopeful Thome can DH.

 

We definitely need to break the pattern of winning the first two games and then not finishing off the sweep.

 

Especially with the Twinkies already taking an L.

IF YA SMELLLLLLLL, what la Roca, is pitching!

It'd be really nice if we could win, Boston, Detroit. and New York could lose. We'd have a 3 game lead on Minny, 1 game lead on NY/BOS and 6.5 back of Detroit.

 

Here's how our rotation sets up for the next few series

 

@KC: Garcia

@TOR: Garland, Vaz, Count

LA: Buehrle

NYY: Garcia, Garland, Vaz

DET: Count, Buehrle, Garcia

 

That NYY series is scaring me.

That NYY series is scaring me.

Why? Our ace Jon Garland will be pitching.

 

BTW Soriano just hit his 2nd HR today. He would have looked very nice in LF for us. Oh well.

And BMac would have looked extra nice for the Nationals pitching staff.

It REALLY looks like this team will be without Thome and Konerko for the finale. This game should be pretty damn interesting.

freddy's been pretty good his last couple times out.

 

keep it up and let's sweep 'em like we know we should

I predict Gooch will be the DH and Cintron will be at 2B. Any word on the lineup yet?

Pods played his best position on the team yesterday. If anyone should be a DH it should be him, then move Mack into LF.

Here is the lineup...

 

Pods LF

Iguchi 2B

AJ C

Dye RF

Crede 3B

Gload 1B

Cintron DH

Anderson CF

Uribe SS
