Me neither. That's the agony of 2-4 in the Phils rotation. My questions going into tonight:

1) Can Myers get out of the 1st inning unscathed? His first innings have been horrendous all year, even during his hot streak in the last couple of months of the season. I think his first inning ERA is like 9 or something. I'll be dancing around my living room if he puts up a zero in the first inning.

2) Can Myers locate his fastball? If he's missing spots, inside or over the plate, he'll have a short night.

3) Can Rollins and Howard put together even a couple decent ABs? They looked lost at the plate last night, esp Howard. Phils can't expect 3 runs to win with Brett on the mound, so they need some production from their best hitters.

One positive is that our hitting lineup is much stronger vs. a right-hander. Dobbs will play 3rd and is one of our best hitters, period. And I bet Matt "OMFG where did you come from?" Stairs will DH.
