I've observed we do very well when there's an early thread, and lots of discussion --

And not so well when there's not or we don't.

So here we go -- onward to Sunday...

Chris -- and Homer -- Aramis Ramirez did play for Cubs Saturday, so you know.  He only pinch hit, but he is back in uniform.  No indication on Sunday.

Harden-Cubs -- in addition to his bad home-away split, he's been poor in day games.  It's especially bad this year, and Piniella has tried to avoid scheduling him during the days, but is there for the career as well. 

Of course we can get too cute with all these splits.  Cubs are much bettter team, at home, Ohlendorf weak on the road.  But it's something to consider.

Here's some cautionary background on Guthrie for Baltimore:

ERA home: 4.8
ERA away: 6.1
ERA night: 6.4
ERA day: 2.8

This checks out pretty well in terms of the matchup -- Vasquez and Happ have pitched well against the opponent. 

Of course there have been some lineup changes in recent weeks, but not a complete overhaul.
