Good thread.
I'm a big fan of the Fister-Pujols matchup, though Pujols might be too easy to pair up.

Hardy-Johnson could be an interesting interleague Twins-Fish matchup...
Of course Johnson will get Hardy all the time
This one is pitcher-pitcher but could end up a matchup if the Seattle hurler hit against the Brewcrew...don't know if he is the Owings type

Personal fav, the two most misspelled names in baseball.
Rzepczynski-Saltalamacchia would be a good tongue twister.

The announcers in the Tex-KC game pointed out that in upcoming interleague series with KC and Pitt, we may have a Duke-Butler rematch.

Dickey-Pettitte then
Dickey-Harden

Thanks a lot Doughboys!
Now the first thing I do when I open the paper is look at the matchups to see if there are other good ones.
Yesterday your Ely - Lilly came to fruition.
This morning we almost had a Lowe-Price.
What's worse, I start recking my brain for good other names. Like today, when I see Slowey, I wonder if there is a Fasty?
So thanks for making me waste another 15 minutes every day.
