Brian Giles and a bunch of average to below average hitters is what Cory Lidle will have to contend with tonight. Mr. Lidle is making his second consecutive start on 5 days' rest. Perhaps his sub-par performance against the potent Cardinals had as much to do with this extra day of rest as it did with the quality of opposition - perhaps not.
Josh Phelps is most probably chomping at the bit to get regular at-bats.
