MadBum-Kershaw tonight

Almost marquee; sort of marquee; could've been marquee...I'm down at the game tomorrow night, and will miss Kershaw-Stroman by a day; getting Stroman-Maeda instead. I've had my fingers crossed since we bought the tickets a month ago.

Kershaw-Strasburg tomorrow night.

For the first time

@washingnats
Stephen Strasburg has been scratched from tonight's start vs.the Dodgers with an upper back strain. Yusmeiro Petit will start for the Nats.

Vin Scully needs to update his Broadway-star references from ...Rex Harrison.

vin's stumbled a couple more times than usual tonight

just called kershaw "koufax", though he can be forgiven for that one

didn't realize we had thor-lester today, tho that was pretty one-sided

seems like every ace has thrown up a stinker in the last week or so tho

Didn't realize Bumgarner and Tanaka were going at it right now.

degrom/jose fernandez tmorrow

Marquee match-ups 2012: Verlander/Felix. Still a good one, though.

always a race btwn me & clem to see who revives their marquee thread

Kershaw-Scherzer must rank up near the top of post-season match-ups historically.

This is a rout again rofl

let's call it Bumgarner vs Naked Bum of Death

Kershaw-Greinke for the first time ever. (That didn't seem right--thought they matched up at least once last year--but I checked and it is.)

ah missed the hypen in the title

Verlander-Kluber today.

So much for that.

You got an old man match up tonight in Chicago with 40 year old Bronson Arroyo going for the Reds against 38 year old John Lackey against the Cubs. I'm sure Arroyo will be doing high kicks and Lackey will be complaining about strikes. Reds won the first match up in Cincy back in April between these two.

Couldn't find it, but that might have been the first time they faced off.

kershaw/lynn tonight has been great

matt carpenter's year has been weirdly good

keuchel v darvish

scherzer v arrieta, first matchup of previous two cy young winners since 2008

sure looks like Arrieta's days as an ace are numbered

Scherzer-Carlos Martinez.

lots of good pitchers going today

including the are-they-still-good triumvirate of arrieta, verlander, and quintana

arrieta was good today

yeah he looked solid, effective but not dominant

verlander somewhat less so

scherzer has 5 strikeouts through 6, and this cardinals lineup is due for a complete embarrassing implosion so i'd expect several more

Sale-Sabathia. More like a marquees-passing-in-the-night match-up. And they have the same initials. At least I think they do--I'm not sure.

I was looking at the Red Sox schedule to gauge if I'm going to see Sale, and it looks good; he's scheduled to go on Tuesday, Aug. 29, and I'm down there on the 28/29/30.

Also noticed how close a Sale/Kluber match-up this Thursday is; it would require a Cleveland rainout or, as a gift to the world, holding back Kluber an extra day.

Greinke-Bumgarner...who still looks marquee to me, abbreviated season and terrible team aside.

Severino-Price? Price is having a pretty good year--probably not marquee-level anymore, though.

Kluber/Seve--never mind.

against all odds, scherzer/hamels is a good battle so far

Kershaw-Bumgarner tonight (almost nostalgic)

Need David Letterman: Noah, Nola; Nola, Noah.
