The Indians thankfully miss Mark Buerhle, their long-time nemesis, but they'll have to deal with R.A. Dickey, who will likely be the only knuckleball pitcher they'll face all season. Dickey has for the most part been rather mediocre this season, but on any given start, a knuckleball pitcher can suddenly become unittable. No doubt we'll be assailed throughout tonight's game with theories on how to approach the flutterball, and the uniqueness of Dickey in today's game. Hopefully the Indians, however they decide to do it, will score more runs than the Jays, and make tonight a rather common win.
A fairly typical lineup tonight, with everyone playing their typical positions. I wondered a bit whether Terry Francona would find a way to fit Nyjer Morgan into the lineup, but Morgan is on the bench tonight.
