Today's Matchups Of The Night are brought to you be the US Postal Service and my Boss...who had me send a letter to UConn and demanded I get delivery confirmation for it...$5.65 (which is the equivalent of 1 footlong subway sandwich in poor intern speak) later I'm wondering why I do this crap for free.
I get my revenge by doing this all day though...cue evil laugh.
There are 3 series starting tonight that I will be keeping my eye on...Giants v. Braves, Red Sox v. Rangers, and Cubs v. Phillies.
Sanchez v. Hanson is the best matchup of the night for 2 reasons. One is that Tommy Hanson has been lights out as of late and secondly, Jonathan Sanchez is coming off a no-no. If the Braves want to show they are for real, beating up on the Giants for 4 games is a good start. They do have to face Lincecum which means only 3 games are up for grabs...
Smoltz v. Millwood tonight in Arlington. Millwood has regressed since starting off on fire while the Sox are looking to see what Smoltz can offer for his 5th start, which have gone like this- Bad, Good, Bad, Good. I'm sure Theo and Co. are hoping this trend does not continue.
Cubs v. Phillies, Lily v. Lopez. The Cubs and the Phillies are flying high after this weekend. If the Cubs take the series they are going to cause some panic in St. Louis. If the Phillies take the series, they probably end up with a 7 or 8 game lead in the East. This is the best series of the mid-week games.
After that there are a smattering of interesting stories. Jason Schmidt makes his first start of the year for the Dodgers, David Price meets the White Sox and Gavin Floyd tonight. Big series for both the Rays and White Sox. Also, the Cardinals take on Houston tonight in Texas.
Muahahaha.
