Cubs should shellac Jamie Moyer, as he's surrendered four ER in each of his past two starts against the Cubs. However, Sean Marshall carries a 13.50 ERA in 8.2 career IP against these Phillies into this game, so we may be in for a barnburner today. More to follow on Zambrano as details are made available.

Gameday
[Update: mlb.com now saying Zambrano says he's just got "dead arm" and is taking an extra day of rest. Hmmmm.]
[Update #2: Apparently, Rich Harden is also experiencing some sort of dead arm/soreness, and may not pitch for the rest of the week, which is another reason for Lou to pitch Marshall today, so he would be in position to take Harden's next turn in the rotation. Ugh.]
