Some weekday evenings,�the�Stew�looks at a few approaching games that will be worth monitoring. Feel free to discuss the night's happenings in the comments below.
Giants at Phillies, 7:05 ET This big series between the two winningest teams in the National League kicks off with a great pitching matchup between Tim Lincecum and Vance Worley. No, really! This will also be the Giants' first meeting with Philly since Ryan Howard was stuck staring at Brian Wilson's strike three at the end of last year's NLCS; wonder if the Citizen Bankers will re-use their insult signs for Timmy?
UPDATE: Scratch that. Lincecum must have caught a bug from the president and is out with the flu Tuesday night. Barry Zito will start in his stead.
Angels at Indians, 7:05 What's that line about your team only being as good as the next day's pitcher? The Halos wish to use it as Jered Weaver attempts to erase the bad taste of Cleveland's comeback win on Monday night.
Tigers at White Sox, 8:10 Detroit ace Justin Verlander goes against Jake Peavy, who was recently labeled an ace by Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen. Yes, the same guy who has a 7.71 ERA over his last three starts and a 5.19 ERA for the season.
Mets at Reds, 7:10 BLS resident New Yorker Rob Iracane reports that there is a Johnny Cueto living in his building. If he knocks on the door Tuesday night and no one answers, I'm going to assume it's the one and the same as the Reds young pitcher.
Cubs at Brewers, 8:10; Astros at Cardinals 8:15 That's convenient that two NL Central contenders will get to fatten up on creampuffs at the same time this week.
Pirates at Braves, 7:10: Sorry Bucs, that's a total of six more games left against Atlanta and Philadelphia before getting to go to Wrigley for four.
