Another day, another wishing for a better game than yesterday's.

Matt Chapman was a late scratch with a right middle finger inflammation.

The team figures Richards will be activated on Friday. Bo? Who knows?

Hyun Jin Ryu gets his third start since coming back. Lask start, he took a grounder off the knee, and I didn’t think he would be making this start.

And Danny Jansen is back in after being out a couple of days since his last hit by pitch. Let’s get through this one without getting hit.

No Davis Schneider in the lineup.

I’m going to miss the start of the game. I’m going to get in a game of squash this morning. An hour of sweat will put the last couple of games out of my mind, as will a beer in the pub while watching the game.

Enjoy the game.
