Sons of Steve Garvey:
Jeff Weaver (5-4, 3.71) vs. Tom Gorzelanny (5-2, 5.24).
COMMENTS: The Dodgers are coming off a particularly painful series against the Cardinals, where we lost games Monday and Wednesday by the slightest of edges, but it was just enough to make one question the vertebrae of the team down the stretch run. And now we get the Cubs, the team we summarily dispatched in last year's NLDS, but against whom we split when we played four at the friendly confines earlier this year. Oh yeah, and we're starting this four-game series with Weaver, forced into action to replace the injured Hiroki Kuroda, to go against Gorzelanny (who has been decent since the Cubs got him from the Pirates). Sure, I feel wonderful about this series, what with the Rockies and Giants nipping at our heels.
Postseason odds still have us at 98%, second-highest only to the Yankees, and the Rockies' odds at 59% with the Giants at 19% I don't know why I'm worried. But I sure wish the Dodgers could help me put these w...

Tom Gorzelanny vs. Jeff WeaverStory-linesSorry for the belated GameCast. I think I promised Yarbage I'd write it, only to forget.
So, the present season appears lost, although there remains time to gain ground and sneak into the post season. Still, I doubt anybody is expecting that to happen. But on the off chance that the Cubs are going to surprise us, then it has...

Feeling a little Randy tonight?
Randy Wolf (7-6, 3.43) vs. Randy Wells (9-5, 3.01).
COMMENTS: Randy W. vs. Randy W.! Chicago's Randy W. is a rookie ground-ball pitcher, and his numbers certainly seem impressive. The Dodgers' Randy W. was a monster in his last start, and if Jeff Weaver is the pitching staff's unsung hero, then Wolf is becoming the rotation's anchor.

Hiroki Kuroda is expected to go on the disabled list and Clayton Kershaw is sick. Jeff Weaver will pitch Wednesday or Thursday.
On a day when Manager Joe Torre conceded that Hiroki Kuroda probably would go on the disabled list in the near future, Clayton Kershaw walked into the Dodgers' clubhouse with flu-like symptoms.

Lou Piniella Returning To The Cubs In 2010
Via Bleed Cubbie Blue, Lou Piniella says he will return to the Cubs in 2010. Piniella left stints in Seattle and Tampa Bay with time remaining on his contract, and had refused questions about his return earlier in the year. Is it a good thing?
Now. I was not a Lou fan before he was hired. He did an outstanding job in 2007 and 2008, but has seemed somnolent and distracted this year...
