One of our main themes tonight will be who will be the 3rd starter for some of these teams that could make the postseason?  We’ll begin that discussion in the first hour with former Twin and current broadcaster Bert Blyleven.  If the Twins make it they’ll start with Scott Baker and Carl Pavano, but who do you go to after that?  Is it Nick Blackburn after his performance last night or is it rookie Brian Duensing who is 4-1 since being called up from the minors.

Another pitcher with an important start tonight is Ervin Santana of the Angels.  Right now the Angels are set with John Lackey, Jered Weaver, and Scott Kazmir.  Can Santana change Scioscia’s mind and get a start in the postseason?  He also has to think about Joe Saunders who pitched well last night.

How about the Phillies?  Is your number 3 Joe Blanton or Pedro Martinez behind Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels?  What about Jaime Moyer who has 12 wins?

Another interesting team is the Rockies.  They’ll begin with Ubaldo Jimenez and Jason Marquis, but who do they go to after that?  Is it Jorge De La Rosa or Aaron Cook?

Finally, what do the Cardinals do?  We know Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright are a given, but is Joel Pineiro definitely their number 3?  What about John Smoltz or Kyle Lohse?

This is some of the things we’ll be talking about tonight starting at 6. -Greg Amsinger
