Ben Sheets and Cliff Lee will go about two innings, whereas Joe Buck and Tim McCarver are scheduled to go the distance. Follow all the commissioner-mandated fierce competition after the jumpski, because this time the live blog counts. —————————————————————————————————————— 10:21 — Pujols lines a ball back to DHnd base for a single.
