Open Thread: Cubs vs. Blue Jays, Friday 6/13, 6:07 CT

TORONTO -- Finally arrived! Traffic, border crossings and rain made for road delays, but I'm off to the game shortly. Don't have too much to add nor much time to read everything that's been posted today; I'll catch up tonight & tomorrow. Courtesy of Bruce Miles, here's the rather unusual Cub lineup:

Theriot, SSHoffpauir, 1BLee, DHRamirez, 3BFukudome, RFSoto, CEdmonds, CFDeRosa, 2BPatterson, LF
