Apparently scared off by recent bad outings, Jake kept Brandon Webb down in his rotation and instead opted for Cole Hamels against the feeble hitting Brewers. Webb posted a 23 on Friday night which will probably go to waste. Hamels is slated to pitch tonight and the weather forecast in Philly look favorable. Jake also gets a relief pitcher and five hitters who were rained out on Friday.
Dale's ace Jake Peavy took the mound on Friday and tallied a sub-par 2 points. A 12 point game by Adrian Gonzalez accounts for most of his lead heading into Saturday. Dale still will get points from four hitters plus his RP.
The Cubs' game against Houston, which affects three of Dale's hitters and one of Jake's, is already postponed today. The teams will play a doubleheader on Sunday, assuming that the power is on at Minute Maid Park and that they've had the roof closed the past couple of days. There is a provision in the FNFT rules to use Sunday games if both Friday and Saturday games are rained out so it appears that Game 3 may not be completely settled until Sunday night.
CNN actually had this picture posted on their homepage this morning - front and center. It continues to amaze me how the lines between the mainstream media and the National Enquirer have blurred.
