The revamped, power hitting (and not much else) Stonecutters come to Wriggly Field and take on the leagues best team. While in the last 10 games the teams seem evenly matched hitting .241 and .242 as a team. The Stonecutters have a ERA of 4.25 in the last 10 games, which is surprisingly better than there season ERA of 4.55. In the past 2 weeks the 'Cutter Crew has gone through a bunch of roster changes sending away 2 starters in Maddux, and Willis, and also Gold Glove winner Torii Hunter, along with big bat Barry Bonds. They did pick up Brad Penny, and Roy Oswalt to try and make up for the departures. They also picked up two power bats in Adam Dunn and Andruw Jones.
On the Rippers side Coach and GM Hobbs thought they needed to bolster an already impressive bullpen. They shipped out outfielder Matt Holiday for Francisco Rodriguez. Coach Hobbs hopes to make it a 5 inning game for his starters then let the bullpen do it's job.
Can the Stonecutters walk away with an important series win to get back into the race? Be sure to tune in.
First pitch is at 8:15 pm eastern.
