Alex Cobb (8-3, 2.99, 18 starts)
Felix Doubront is being skipped in the rotation, but we'll see how long that lasts with Dempster on the mound tonight. Maybe a miracle happens and he John Lackeys Cobb, the same way Buchholz and friends John Lackey'd Price last night. Or maybe he'll take the moral high ground again and throw at Yunel Escobar for having "You play like a girl" painted in his eye black.
Still leading the league in runs and we're still one of only two teams in the majors with 700 runs scored on the season (and over halfway to 800). However, those dickheads in Detroit overtook us in total differential last night. Unacceptable. I wish them a painful night in south Chicago. Oh, and our playoff chances? According to ESPN, 100%. Gee, thanks for counting our chickens for us.
