The Tribune’s Teddy Greenstein on what’s worth tuning into this weekend.
BASEBALL
White Sox vs. Houston
2:55 P.M. SATURDAY, FOX; 1:05 P.M. SUNDAY, CSN
It’s a World Series rematch, but former Sox outfielder Carlos Lee might steal the show. The man has more RBIs than Jim Thome and Paul Konerko combined.
Cubs at Atlanta
6:05 P.M. SATURDAY, WGN; 7:05 P.M. SUNDAY, ESPN
Good news for the Cubs: They get to beat up on right-hander Lance Cormier again. Bad news: John Smoltz is pitching Sunday.
GOLF
The Ultimate Game at Wynn Las Vegas
12:30-2:30 P.M. SATURDAY; 2-4 P.M. SUNDAY, FOX
Rick Rhoden is among 12 survivors who put up $50,000 to vie for a $2 million top prize. Says Fox Sports analyst Lee Trevino: “It wouldn’t surprise me if the guy that wins it faints right on the 18th green. We are going to need an ambulance and a doctor, for him and me.”
TENNIS
The French Open
8-11 A.M. SATURDAY (WOMEN’S FINAL); 8 A.M.-1 P.M. SUNDAY (MEN’S FINAL), NBC
John McEnroe says that if Roger Federer wins the French, “he’ll be the greatest player of all time, ahead of (Rod) Laver, ahead of (Pete) Sampras.” And ahead of Johnny Mac.
