Moyer P
That's probably not what either team's lineup will look like, but I tried. Cedeno hits Moyer better than Theriot, so maybe they'll give Ryan a day off. With Victorino now out, no one has any idea what the top of the lineup will look like. The Phillies might play Taguchi in center because he can provide better defense and could be a better fit at the top. Bruntlett may have to go back to the 2 hole for one more game.
There's really no reason to not score at least 5 runs against Jason Marquis today. He's not a good pitcher, and many hitters that could be in the lineup today absolutely own him. The only question that remains about that: will it be enough? You never know what you get from Moyer, and a couple Cubs' hitters have his number as well. The bullpens could be up early in this one.

Ruiz C 0/5
Bruntlett SS 0/3
Hamels P
Those numbers look kind of bleak for the Phillies offense tonight. With only six hits, three of them coming from the same guy, against him in their collective careers, it's clear that he's an effective pitcher against the lineup. He's pretty tough against lefties, so hopefully Utley and Howard can hang in there, stay patient and poke in some singles. Feliz has a chance to be good tonight.
A couple days ago, the Phillies added Steve Kline on a minor league deal. He's going to report to Lehigh Valley, and he could earn a promotion if he pitches well for the Iron Pigs. If he does come up, he'll become a situational lefty, but lately, his splits against lefties have declined, and he's not as good as he used to be.

Ruiz C N/A
Bruntlett SS 1/6, .167/.286/.167
Myers P
These last two games have proven how much Jimmy Rollins means to this team. We have to replace a guy that does everything with a guy who does nothing in Bruntlett. His errors have cost this team runs in the field, and his bad bat in all aspects of hitting have cost us runs at the plate. Jimmy can't come back soon enough.
Myers has to stop dicking around on the mound, like he said he's been doing this year. Is this why this team gets off to slow starts? They don't realize how much they have to step up their games and how much effort they have to put in to win when things start to count? Myers better show he has something extra tonight. The last two starts have been bad, and fans are already starting to get antsy.
