From the Trib:

The Cubs have decided to recall Pie back from Triple-A Iowa once again, and he'll be available for Wednesday night's game against Houston ace Roy Oswalt.

UPDATE: Angel Pagan has been placed on the DL to make room for Pie.

One reason I'm not too worried about the loss of Soriano: The Cubs went 17-9 in July, but Soriano batted just .265/.276/.425. In June, during which Soriano batted .336/.379/.697, the Cubs went 17-11.

Outstanding matchup tonight: Carlos Zambrano vs. Roy Oswalt. Should be a good one.
