Hellickson v Shields

_________________
Winning may not be everything, but losing has little to recommend it.

Meaningful games in september. The battle for 4th place.

Dbacks with a game and half lead going into the series.

At lease all those Dodgers fans will be out of our stadium.

Upton has already beaten up on Hellickson this season, so I wouldn't be shocked to get another nice reminder of KT's ineptitude tonight.
