Although Marietta broke the Sugar Bears' unbeaten streak over the weekend, they're still feeling a bit of panic after Sunday's loss. Maybe it's because Jeremy Sowers has gotten spanked by D.C. and Philadelphia and they don't want to make what they've imagined the Sugar Bears would do to him into reality. So with that in mind, the Mighty Men have decided to throw out Francisco Liriano on 3-days rest against the Sugar Bears.
It's odd that the Mighty Men would toss Liriano out there when this isn't an elimination game. Consider that Liriano was roughed up by the Sugar Bears in game one, so maybe he's not Marietta's best bet anyway. It's not like they had many alternatives though. Other than Sowers, the Mighty Men could have tossed in Woody Williams or Gil Meche, but it's doubtful that any of those would have done any better than Sowers. So it looks like the Mighty Men will trot out Liriano in game four, hoping for the best and then cross their fingers and pray that Mike Mussina repeats his game two magic against the Bears.
Well, that's why they play the games...
