This Week In Wild Card Watching

Here's the games of note with the probable starters:
Tuesday, August 24, 2004
Milwaukee at Chicago Cubs - Capuano at Clement
San Francisco at Florida - Schmidt at Burnett
San Diego at NY Mets - Wells at Benson

Wednesday, August 25, 2004

Thursday, August 26, 2004

San Francisco at Atlanta - Rueter at Hampton
Colorado at Florida - Kennedy at Pavano

Los Angeles also bears watching. If they keep falling back to the pack (their lead is down to 4 games), it makes the 6 games each they have with San Fran and San Diego more and more important.

I don't want to see LA in the playoffs. I'd much rather face the Padres or the Balcos.
