Sixteen games are on tap today, including two at beautiful Wrigley field. Mark Prior will make his 2005 debut today. According the the FoxSports schedule, it will be against Lawrence not Peavy. But game 1 featuring Peavy and Kerry Wood should be a great warm up for the premier of Prior.

Curt Schilling returns to the mound tonight to test his new ankle against the Yankees. I wonder if he'll paint a red stain on his sock? Schilling did get roughed up in his rehab start. He'll face Jaret Wright, who was roughed up in ML start against the Orioles.

The Marlins and Phillies go at it this afternoon in Florida. Dontrelle Willis and Pat Burrell make this game worth the price of admission. Burrell is 6 for 18 career vs. Willis, but has no home runs and no RBI against the lefty.

On the West Coast, the 6-2 Blue Jays try to keep the best record in the majors going for a sweep of the Athletics. David Bush faces Joe Blanton. Blanton and Bush both had minor league strikeout and walk numbers to die for. This should be a good match-up, and especially one to watch for as they mature.

Enjoy!
