Take a rest this afternoon, because there’s a lot on tonight.
↵6 pm, ESPN: High school football. Plant, Florida at Manatee, Florida. The Deep Dish posts this mainly to criticize it. A regular-season HS football game is on the Worldwide Leader’s main channel? No wonder these kids get big heads.
↵6 pm, WGN: Cubs at Reds. The Cubs will have tougher competition than they did the last three games, although the Nationals, who the Cubs swept, beat the Cardinals 11-10 in 13 innings last night.
↵6:30 pm, MLB Network: Marlins at Braves.
↵7 pm, CSN Chicago: White Sox vs. Yankees. The Sox will have tougher competition than they did the last three games. And, watch Joe Girardi try to finesse all the Cubs manager questions he’s going to get.
↵7 pm, CBS-2: NFL Exhibition, Chargers at Saints.
↵10 pm, NFL Network: NFL Exhibition, Eagles at Chiefs (tape delay)
↵1 am, NFL Network: NFL Exhibition, Falcons at Dolphins (tape delay — preseason games are sometimes at odd times, but not this odd)
