We have a small disparity in experience between our two starting pitchers tonight. Let's look at the tale of the tape:
Clemens vs. Mateo:
681    GS   1
345    W    1

No pressure kid, good news is you have Blanco behind the plate to make sure you throw strikes. The other good news is the Astros offense is just about as pathetic as ours. The bad news is you have Blanco behind the plate and he has to hit.
Go Cubs!
