2 p.m., WGN

The Cubs are for sale. Why don’t John Henry and Tom Werner go try turning them into a brand now?

MLB: Red Sox at Blue Jays

7 p.m., NESN

There’s been suspiciously little hype about Daisuke Matsuzaka’s first start ever in Canada. I’m concerned the Blue Jays might use the opportunity to plant some contraband in his luggage and tie him up in customs for the next four days.

NHL: Stanley Cup Playoffs: Senators at Penguins Game 4

7 p.m. Versus

Game 1 of a Versus doubleheader. So if it goes four overtimes, at least it will be pre-empted by another hockey game this time.

9 p.m. ESPN2

10 p.m. Versus

Boxing: The Contender Challenge: UK vs. USA

9 p.m. ESPN
