The Cubs' final home series for 2010 continues against the Cardinals this afternoon. Many schedules list this game time as "TBD"; it will begin at 12:05 p.m. CDT.
Chris Carpenter takes the mound for St. Louis against Cubs rookie Casey Coleman. The elimination number for the Cardinals in the NL Central race is three. Cubs manager Mike Quade would like to lead the team to a strong finish and perhaps keep himself in the running for the fulltime managing job next season.
Today's game will be televised on WGN-TV.
