(Note: Sorry about the lack of posts today, but it couldn't be avoided.)
The Marlins are looking to even the series in what will be our first day game of three in-a-row in this series.
Johnson hasn't recorded a decision since coming off Tommy John surgery. Though he has pitched well enough to do so, The good news is that the Marlins have won both of his starts. The bad news is the Fish haven't scored very many runs while he was on the hill. Johnson is still, probably, on a strict pitch count of no more than 100 pitches.
Former Marlin Ryan Dempster will take the mound for the Cubbies. You remember Dempster and his "breakout" season when he was an All-Star in 2000. Of course he never played in the game but he was selected nonetheless. It's good to see Ryan having success again as a starter, however, if he would like to throw a clunker, I'm all for it.
Ichthyomancy is pretending like it is ready. Best of Luck to You!
