Talkin' Cubs Live - Cubs vs. Astros - 05/21/08

post from ChicagoCubsOnline.com on 21 May 2008 04:30:00 PM. © ChicagoCubsOnline.com

Game Forty-Seven: Cubs (28-18) vs. Astros (26-21)
Game Time - 7:05pm C.T.
Coverage - TV: Comcast SportsNet - Radio: 720 WGN, XM Radio Channel 183
Location - Minute Maid Park, Houston

Sean Gallagher (1-0, 4.40/1.47) vs. Shawn Chacon (0-0, 4.14/1.47)

After a less than stellar performance on Tuesday night, Lou Piniella's crew will look to bounce back in the rubber game of the series behind Sean Gallagher. The Cubs' rookie pitcher will make his first road start in the big leagues and try to earn his second win in three starts. Gallagher must keep the ball down or the Astros' high-powered offense could put the game away early.

Piniella's offense, on the other hand, will likely be without Derrek Lee and they must find the patience that eluded them on Tuesday. The Cubs did not make Chris Sampson work, and granted it's getaway day, but a road win in Houston would be a good way to spend Thursday's off day in Pittsburgh.
