In case you missed it, Felipe Paulino will miss today's game due to injury.....Russ Ortiz was terrific last Sunday against the Pirates. He saved our bacon when Felipe Paulino was forced out with an injury of his own after less than two innings. Today though, Ortiz will be tested against a better lineup and mound opponent. Ortiz has a sub four ERA despite having a K:BB ratio of almost one. In the other dugout, Cubs starter Ryan Dempster has suffered due to the home run ball. The Astros already beat the Cubs in one Dempster start at the Juice Box this season, so it can be done. A fourth straight series win is on the line.
