Meet George Jetson
Baseball is back in full swing tomorrow, and the Cubs (57-38) head to juicy Minute Maid Park (née Enron Field) to take on the Astros (44-51) for 3. For your convenience, here are the teams’ stats through the first half.

Well it seems like the Cubs are just… better. Here are the likely matchups:
- July 18th, Lilly (4.68 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) vs. Moehler (4.28, 1.39)
- July 19th, Zambrano (2.84, 1.23) vs. W. Rodriguez (3.48, 1.28)
- July 20th, Dempster (3.25, 1.18) vs. Backe (4.76, 1.56)
Hopefully Theodore Roosevelt Lilly can show us something on 8 days of rest, like some sweet curveballs.
Unfortunately, we won’t see Soriano back in this series as was once thought. He should be back before the end of July.
