Open Thread and Ichthyomancy: Marlins at Dodgers (7/6)

by craig on Jul 6, 2007 7:47 AM EDT in News and Rumors

Fresh off a split with the Padres the Marlins are coming into Los Angeleeze to take on Dodgers for a three game series.

(Note: It's not Arlo Guthrie singing his classic, since the only ones I could find by him were either from Woodstock or they lasted about ten minutes. But the guy does a very credible job.)

The Marlins starting pitcher has Dontrelle Willis on the schedule.

The Dodgers will sent Chad Billingsley to their bidding

Game time is 10:40 p.m.

Come on it's Friday night, you can stay up that late.

I have no idea whether Willis has rejoined the team or not. Assuming all is well back home, he should make the start. Dontrelle was looking very good in his last start but then the rains came.

Billingsley was pulled out of the bullpen to take over Jason Schmidt's spot in the rotation. This will be his fourth start of the season. Hitters from the left side, especially at night, have the most luck against him.

Ichthyomancy is ready for some more midnight baseball.
