Should I still be pissed about day games if we're in Chicago?

The Pirates do the rare "back to back day games in different cities" thing this afternoon as they head on out to Wrigley to face off against the Cubs. Tom Gorzellany will look to build on his last two starts, which have been very good, while Carlos Zambrano will look to continue being the only part of the Cubs that has avoided being a complete disaster. Actually, this is a battle between the two hottest teams in the NL Central since the All-Star break, which is amusing because we're also two of the only three teams in the National League not within 5 games of the Wild Card.

I'm leaving for vacation this afternoon, but never fear: there will be no WHYGAVS shutdown this year. I'll still be able to do the basic game threads and link dumps, I have some mostly finished posts in the kitty for next week, and I've enlisted a small army of familiar names (well, familiar if you click the comment threads) to take over the recapping duties. And if that isn't good enough for you... well, it's only a week.
