They just posted the lineups for Game 3 of the National League Division Series today at Wrigley Field. Two notable changes for the Cubs from Games 1 and 2 are slumping Aramis Ramirez was dropped to fifth with Cliff Floyd now batting cleanup, and veteran Jason Kendall catching instead of rookie Geovany Soto.

Jay Mariotti:
"If this isn't a smoke-and-mirrors operation, Milli Vanilli wasn't lip-synching."
"...if the desert cacti are scary, the D-backs are less so."
"...don't have anyone beyond Webb who fazes you in the rotation."
Game 3, bottom 5th, 3-1 Milli.
'Fazed' yet?
