Scheduled game four match ups...

Oswalt vs. Cueto
Hampton vs. Mussina
Sabathia (?) vs. Johnson
Jimenez vs. Hentgen (?)

Are these right? Anyone want to start someone else?

Tough call for me... I really have a handful of guys I could start in the 3-4-5 spots. I'm gonna go with Sheets.

I'm not gonna lie, this shocked me. I expected Scherzer to get lit up.

As did I. It'll be interesting to see where Max ends up next year. I think the team that gives him 100 mill plus regret that. Hope I'm wrong nothing against the guy.

Game 4 starter will be Tom Glavine.

Here's my lineup.


1 Tony Gwynn LF
2 Derek Jeter SS
3 Albert Pujols 3B
4 Gary Sheffield CF
5 Lance Berkman RF
6 Ryan Howard 1B
7 Alfonso Soriano 2B
8 Yadier Molina C

[Lament]

I'm gonna keep my lineup the same for game four, but if I fall behind 3-1, I'm turning things upside down.

[Norah]

Game 4 will be Josh Johnson pitching.


1 Dustin Pedroia 2B
2 Nomar Garciaparra SS
3 Sammy Sosa RF
4 Manny Ramirez LF
5 David Ortiz 1B
6 Javy Lopez C
7 Bill Mueller 3B
8 Carlos Beltran CF

[The Argonaut]

Thanks for having the wife and me to your dinner party.

I'm giving Player of the Game to Mark Prior for earning the W by throwing a quality start while one-upping Dontrelle Willis by smacking a solo HR and hitting a RBI double.

Wow. I forgot Prior could hit a little. He hit .250 in 2003. Hell, that is better than Alex Gonzalez.

[@SkitchP]

Stupid brad lidge apparently thinks that phil's entire lineup is Albert Pujols.


8ER in 2 innings.

[numbers]

Damn, I wanted a sweep.

[BigRedLedbetter]

Damn, I wanted a sweep.

Not so fast my friend.

[BigRedLedbetter]

I'm too lazy to look but did anyone draft Derrek Lee? Looking back at old stats and his 2005 was stellar.

46 HR, won a gold glove, batting title and led the league in slugging, OPS, hits and doubles...7.7 WAR as well

[@SkitchP]

Im contemplating Zobrist for Gordon at 3B.

[BigRedLedbetter]

Im contemplating Zobrist for Gordon at 3B.

Even this die hard Cornhusker agrees with that.

[@SkitchP]

Yeah, im going with

1 Jacoby Ellsbury CF
2 J.D. Drew LF
3 Luis Gonzalez RF
4 Alex Rodriguez SS
5 Miguel Cabrera 1B
6 Chase Utley 2B
7 Ben Zobrist 3B
8 Alex Avila C

for game 4. I dont want Alex Gordon dealing with that turf.

[BigRedLedbetter]

The winner of the contest should get something. Like a trophy or like a pennant of their favorite team or something? Just an idea. Kidding about the trophy.
