While these past few starts have been less than Ted-friendly, today's start against Los Dodgers will hopefully go down in the good book as Ted's redemption song (editor's note: good book is the June edition of Cubs Vine Line).To be clear, we are not referring to Bob Marley's song about neo-spiritualism that is blasted by 17 yr old high school kids who break into their parent's secret marijuana while said parents are out of town. We are instead referring to the ancient hymn that appears on Egyptian pyramids and in Greek temples to honor Ted's virtue, humility and immortality.
And, given this past week, we certainly need the help.
In his last start against SD, Ted was a roller coaster of emotions, allowing five runs on eight hits, walking two and striking out four in 6 1/3 innings including TL-arch nemesis Chris Young singling home the first two runs of the game. This marks Ted's second consecutive loss but, in true Ted fashion, he has only requested two or under runs in support from the Cub's offense for his pitching as a daily challenge to his greatness.
In today's start, Ted faces off against Chad Billingsley who may or may not be the same child actor who played Ralphie in "A Christmas Story". To support Ted, the TLFC has decided to wake up early, mix a few extra strong Sanka/Bud Extra cocktails and make our way over to the Skybox on Sheffield Rooftop (unofficial home of rooftop TedHeads everywhere) for today's game.
If any other TedHeads are at the game, let us know... tedlillyrules@gmail.com (we'll check our blackberrys in between innings just like Ted checks his ridiculous abs in between innings or Big Z doing his anger management exercises).
As for today's prediction, the TLFC Super Computer is off at Space Camp so, in his place, we welcome in the Gatorade machine that both Dumpster and Big Z teed off on this week:
6 1/3 IP, 6Ks, 2 Ks, 1 ER (HR--standard) and one gentle pat from TL.

6 game suspension for Z & what happened to Davidson? NADA! He initiated the contact!!! That's like lighting a fart on fire...nothing good can come after that!
It's a good day, TedHeads. The Lillyhammer is gonna be on the mound & I get to peteddi...LOL!
Ah, good day indeed. Happy Tedsday TedHeads!
Sure wish I could join TLFC for some Sanka/Bud Extra cocktails and rooftop game action, but alas, St. Louis is a bit of a commute...GO CUBS.
This particular TedHead is FIRED UP! :)
Love the Tedtensity...we're going to need that today--big-time. Not for Ted (he clearly is going to treat us to a pitching clinic) but for all the non-TedHeads at Wrigley who, most likely, will not be able to recognize/appreciate the greatness of a 5'10" lefty from Torrance, CA.
Happy TedsDay! It is also my birthday, alas, I am stuck here at work. But the combination of TedsDay and my birthday means the world imploding with awesome is upon us!
I'm sure TL will be nothing short of amazing (when is he not? And when he "isn't", he's doing it on purpose, obviously).
I wore my TL jersey to Tuesday's game, and people started talking about his ejection behind me, it was great. Happy to see people realizing TL's badassery.
I ran into Casey Blake at the Pancake House on Bellevue this morning and he and his boy Jim Loney were pretty excited about the prospects of putting one of Ted's weak-ass pitches on that rooftop where you'll all be drinking that gay beer-like substance.
All you lonely women out there on the interwebs - I'll be taking them out to Stanley's after the game. Feel free to come by - my boy Loney is hung like a mule.
Oh, and nice abs Ted.
