Chicago Cubs : News : Probable Pitchers
Wave "hi" and wish Kerry luck. I will be there in person. Let's hope I'm not behind the net so I can take some pictures.

Wednesday, June 29 Wrigley Field | 1:20 PM CT

Ben Sheets, RHP (3-6, 3.68) Brewers (35-41) @ Kerry Wood, RHP (1-1, 6.15) Cubs (39-36)

Scouting Report:
Sheets was once known as a Cubs-killer, winning his first six decisions against the Cubs. But he is 1-6 since, including a no-decision against them at Miller Park last week (the Brewers won the game). Sheets was frustrated after his last start because every time the Brewers got a lead, Sheets lost it the following half-inning. Look for him to pitch with a bit of a chip on his shoulder at Wrigley Field, when he lost 4-0 to Carlos Zambrano, who combined with Chad Fox and LaTroy Hawkins on a one-hitter.

Wood will be making his first start since April 30. He's been sidelined with a strained right shoulder, and made three Minor League rehab starts to tune up. The right-hander has spent the down time fine-tuning his mechanics in hopes of avoiding any further shoulder injuries.

If the "terrorists" blow up Wrigley today, know that I died a happy person. And, someone please come feed the cats. Thanks.
