It would be nice

I'm still here wile Supertramp is taking his blog sabbatical at the ball park. If you get bored here, check out at All Things Steve if you get a moment.


I know the Yost Infection faithful are thinking it too, so without saying it, I'll say it. Today's match-up of closers turned starters (working superbly in StL) seems to favor the Crew as Dempster hasn't started since May 4 2005, a loss to MIL where he walked 5 in 6.2 innings. Bush on the other hand, hasn't closed since college [ed note: is that Kevin Bacon as Dave Bush?]. So we got that going for us, which is nice.

Sweet Lou has already seen enough of his $136M man underachieving, so it looks like Alfonso Soriano will be moved to lead-off. He'll probably get a hit today and Pinella will be heralded as a genius for shuffling the lineup, but it's likely that Soriano wasn't going to go 0-13 to start the year anyway. He can get 10 hits for all I care, as long as the Crew wins. Game time 1:20p.
