A Day Game!
GAME 55 PREVIEW
CHICAGO CUBS (29-25) at SAN DIEGO PADRES (34-22)
PETCO Park, 3.35pm CT, TV: CSN, Chan4
There'll be no Carlos Zambrano versus Jake Peavy, as Peavy has "an upper respiratory infection", which sounds to me suspiciously like a cold. Then again I have about as much medical knowledge as Dr Drake Ramore. Peavy's absence is both good news and bad news. Good because Peavy's typically extremely hard to score runs off, and instead the Cubs will see Woody Williams making what for all intents and purposes is his first rehab start since hitting the disabled list. Bad because Woody Williams isn't anywhere near as much of a delight to watch as the young and supremely brilliant Peavy. Is he better than our Zambrano though? Your call. Go Cubs!
In other news, I have a deep and profound hatred of Jim Mecir.
