HBT: Who'll pitch Game 7 for both teams?

Game 3 on Saturday night will always be remembered for Albert Pujols? ridiculous performance, but in the short term, it may be more significant for what it meant for the starting pitchers ? Kyle Lohse and Matt Harrison ? each of whom was terrible.?It?s significant because this series has all of the hallmarks of a seven-game affair, and if we reach a Game 7 Lohse and Harrison are slated to meet up again.

The Rangers don?t seem to have any other ideas or options if that happens. Given Tony La Russa?s penchant for tinkering it?s always possible that he?d throw Jake Westbrook or a short-rest starter or Rick Honeycutt or someone out there instead of Lohse. ?According to Joe Strauss of the Post-Dispatch La Russa has not yet committed to anything but the sense at the moment is that it will be Lohse ? on a short leash ? who gets the call.

Of course, the way this series has gone so far, we?re just as likely to see dueling perfect games from Lohse and Harrison as we are a five-hour empty-the-bullpen affair. ?Did I mention that I love this World Series so far?
