Smokies, Sandberg open series at Riverwalk

The TV guys are getting set up for the pregame interview session with Smokies manager Ryne Sandberg, the Hall of Fame player from the Cubs that I wrote about in Sunday's paper.

The Smokies are at Riverwalk all week and Biscuits pitcher Jeremy Hellickson is scheduled to face them twice, tonight and in Saturday's series finale.

UPDATE: Hellickson is scheduled to throw four innings or 60 pitches, whichever comes first.
