The Astros still haven't announced the team's plans for this weekend's series with the visiting Cubs. Club officials have been busy with meetings today going over the all possible scenerios. There is a possibility the Friday game with the Cubs could be moved up to an afternoon game .....but club officials say they won't determine that until tomorrow. Earlier in the week .... there was talk of possibly moving at least part of this key series to Wrigley Field in Chicago. Astros GM Ed Wade said today that it's "highly unlikely" the games would be moved to Chicago. Both the Cubs and the Astros have a scheduled off day for Monday ....so they could postpone one game of the 3-game series to that date .....if they had to.
