2 – Lilly (probably much more interesting than he leads on)
3 – Aramis or Bradley (we would end up in some sort of trouble)

What's the point of resting Lilly?
Let him get his work in, it’s the third game of the season. I don’t think he needs rest right now.
At this point
let him work on some pitches

Lilly
lines it right at Berkman.
That was not an attempt to get on base.

Ted Lilly is humble.
He allows his teammates to participate in winning; he doesn’t do IT ALL.

Theodore scalded that pitch

I'm a little late to the party, but...
somebody should pick up my idea for a “Fonten-o-meter” sign in the Wrigley crowd tracking OPS. He finished last season near .950 and is sitting at 1.400 right now. Dude is just plain sick.

the funny thing is Ted had that face at 14.
