Derek Lowe (2-3, 4.62) vs. Jered Weaver (2-5, 4.86).
COMMENTS: Brad Penny reported right-arm stiffness in his bullpen session Thursday, causing Joe Torre to switch him and Lowe in the rotation. Unfortunately, that means Lowe, desperately in need of some consistency, will be pitching today's rubber game on three days' rest. Although Weaver has struggled somewhat this season, he's still 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in two career starts against the Dodgers.
The very fact that today is a rubber game comes as a surprise, thanks to yesterday's all-Asian tag-team pitching performance. Yesterday I said we'd be lucky winning one game this weekend, and I'm sticking with that. A win today would be shockingly delightful!

Hey guys. Good win yesterday, huh? I got to listen to most of it on XM as I was driving across Nebraska.
Just got into Chicago an hour ago, and in about two hours, I'll be sitting at Wrigley Field for the first time ever. Pretty sweet. I'll check in here if my phone lets me.
Hey I'll actually be home for this game
Hey Erin, sounds like you had a good trip. I'm totally jealous, as I've never been to Wrigley. Check in if you can, it's not the same watching the Dodgers lose without you!
Damon, I hope this is a game worth being home for. I also hope Kemp starts today, it would be a travesty if he doesn't.
I wrote a post but I don't know if it went through. Here's what I wrote--if you're ever in a position to come to Wrigley, do it. This place is awesome.
That didn't take long. 4-0 Angels.
You heard it here first, folks! Wrigley Field gets the Beantown West Seal of Approval™.
Hey y'all - how did we score?
Erin, I have indeed been to Wrigley, and I agree, it rocks. I'm headed back in late June.
Dodgers down 4-2, and with two on and one out, Kemp had better rock the ball.
Damn, Kemp strikes out...
Kent is on base, which is a mysterious position to see of late. With Kemp's K, can DeWitt salvage the rally?
Okay, back to naptime for Sax. 4-2, bad guys.
Hi, everyone!
I have a feeling we're gonna win this game.
Mike Napoli caught stealing!
Urgh. Angels 5-Dodgers 2.
Angels 7, Dodgers 2. There is only one word to describe this game: suckalicious.
8-2 Angels. I can't take this anymore. Switching over the the NBA playoffs.
"to the"
frustrating game and i really think i jinxed them again or is it that Andruw Jones struck out 3 times, going 0-4 overall, they had bad defense, a 2 HR game by Mike Napoli, the fact Derek Lowe pitched with 3 days rest and a few etc?
