We'll run one game thread for all three games today. If it gets full, we'll put up an overflow thread later in the day.

	Next Game Colorado Rockies @ Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday, Oct 7, 2009, 2:37 PM EDT Citizens Bank Park Ubaldo Jimenez vs Cliff Lee Partly cloudy. Winds blowing out to right field at 20-25 m.p.h. Game time temperature around 65. Complete Coverage >
These two teams were the two highest scoring teams in the National League and they hit the most home runs in the NL. And the wind is gusting out to right field today. Look for a high scoring affair.

	Next Game Minnesota Twins @ New York Yankees Wednesday, Oct 7, 2009, 6:07 PM EDT Yankee Stadium Brian Duensing vs CC Sabathia Mostly cloudy. Winds blowing out to left field at 15-30 m.p.h. Game time temperature around 60. Complete Coverage >
The Yankees were by far the highest scoring team in the Majors, but the Twins were still the 4th highest scoring team in the AL at 5.01 R/G. We'll likely see quickly how much of a hangover the Twins will be suffering from yesterday's epic win over the Tigers.
	Next Game St. Louis Cardinals @ Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday, Oct 7, 2009, 9:37 PM EDT Dodger Stadium Chris Carpenter vs Randy Wolf Partly cloudy. Winds blowing out to right field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game time temperature around 60. Complete Coverage >
The Cardinals won 5 of the games between these two teams this summer. They have to feel good about a Carpenter vs. Wolf matchup, but the Dodgers have such a deep lineup it should be a close match.
