Good Evening y’all! Hef asked me to take care of Under the Lights tonight since he is traveling somewhere in the desert and will not be near his computer. He wanted me to tell you today was a great day once again but of course you could all do better. Hef is a dick like that. I should be around most of the night to banter back and forth with you unless the Mets do something I don’t approve of. Then I will have more bodies to dispose of. Well, last night Hef lamented the fact that the scheduling Gods reigned down an array of shit that it wasn’t worth his words. Tonight is not much different. With one exception. The Phillies and Marlins are in Philly tonight in a battle between the first and second place teams. Two and a half games separate them so it should be a good series. There are also a few nice pitching match ups mixed in here tonight. So let us look at tonight’s “contests” to see what we won’t be commenting about:

Phillies/Marlins – Gonzo vs the CRM/cortes combo. Should be a good game. Josh Johnson vs Jamie Moyer. Moyer is 10-0 lifetime against the Fish.

Dodgers/Cardinals - Manny will continue to be Manny (that was the 18 millionth time that was ever written) in St. Louis where he faces Albert Pujols in a battle of the best two right handed hitter of this generation (ARod is the third). The Cardinals should be a good test for LA since they are good enough to be in it but not good enough to derail a good team. Let’s see if LA has it. Chad Billingsley vs Chris Carpenter.

Tigers/White Sox – Hey, I just got to know the White Sox! Well, I also know they are back in first after not playing last night. Which was the best night they have had in a week. Let’s see if Ken Griffey can lead them to greatness. Nate Robertson vs. TBL fave Gavin Floyd

Padres/Mets – There is both opportunity and survival at stake here with the Mets three back and the Fish and Phils fighting in Philly. There are also lives on the line. Billy Wagner is on the DL so that is not good believe it or not. Chris Young vs Mike Pelfrey

Pirates/DBags – The DBags kicked the shit out of the Pirates last night. I don’t see that changing tonight. Zach Duke vs Brandon Webb

Twins/Mariners – I am pretty certain Fetch will be watching a rerun of I Love Money or something while his first place Minnesota Twins try to beat a lowly Mariner team that kicked the shit out of them last night. Scott Baker vs R.A. Dickey

Indians/Rays – The Indians did their best to help the Rays lose a game in the standings last night. Fortunately for the Rays, the rest of the division lost, so no harm no foul. The Rays are still up by three games so no reason to sweat. Yet. Edwin Jackson vs. Fausto Carmona. Aye Fausto!

Red Sox/Royals – The Red Sox lost to the Royals last night. HA! If Manny was there I am sure he would have had threve home runs and televen RBIs. Theo is a stupid face. Josh Beckett vs Brian Bannister

For the rest of you there are other games. But I have decided you need to be 5 games back or under in your division to garner my attention. Not 5 and a half. So feel free to comment but no one cares about your team.
