Or should that have been "thus Jason spake"?

spaked? spokened? speechified?

Words aside, the point is that I went on record saying that Ted Lilly's horrendous performance as of 1:19 PM CT today was a matter of luck and his luck would take a turn for the better. My spaking:

Just wanted to go on record as saying that Lilly is going to break out very soon. He still holds a 2:1 K/BB ratio and is suffering right now because all hits are falling in. He's always allowed fewer hits than innings pitched, but right opponents are batting .309 against him. If the strikeouts had dropped, I'd say he was screwed, but this is just a bad streak. Look for things to start turning around.

Now, the somewhat ironic thing is, the very reason I sited for his expect turn for the better (his nice K:BB ratio) was nowhere to be found. Today Lilly managed six innings of one run ball despite four walks and only four strikeouts. Talk about luck evening out, eh?

Jason the Great...The Amazing Jason...Jason the All Seeing and Surprisingly Attractive...

I answer to all of these. Go Cubs.
