Who Goes in Game 5?

All the speculation is on who will pitch game 5 of the current series (ignoring that the question is irrelevant if the team loses the next 3). Estes? Cruz? Sergio "You know Sergio?" Mitre? Felix Sanchez? The Herald and the SunTimes all speculate. It would be Cruz except for the fact that he'd be on a 3 day rest instead of 4. Shoulda pitched Cruz Saturday and moved Estes to Sunday.

In a much more important story (cough, cough - leak), the SunTimes lays the ground work for A Gonz to be A Gone. Tejada seems to be the likely option. Given the money freeing up, that's very affordable. If they can find a team (cough, cough - sucker) to take even a dollar of A Gonz salary, that can only help.

Claude Passeau, who pitched a one-hitter for the Cubs in the 1945 World Series, died Saturday. He was 94. This remvoed another veteran to start ahead of Juan Cruz.
