THIS MEANS WHAT?

It means if you've already played mil in gm#1 specifying wright, you have no action.

Edit: Doesn't matter which team was played. If wright was specified = no action.

It means MIL switched the order they were planning to use their pitchers. If anyone capped the game on the originally listed pitcher matchups it means those pitchers will no longer face each other. It also means if anyone had action in with listed pitchers before the change it is now "No Action".

I meant means on game? Easier for CUBS now or not?

I like the Cubs with Wright going for Milwaukee, have to admit I like them even better with Levrault! Although some valid points mentioned in earlier post regarding Cubs bp. Same scenario within Boston. Sox are one injured over worked bunch heading west.

Flip-flop: After the game Sunday, the Brewers switched the starting assignments for Allen Levrault and Jamey Wright. Levrault will start the opening game today against the Cubs' Jon Lieber. Wright will work the nightcap against rookie Carlos Zambrano, who will make his big-league debut.

In most doubleheaders, the more established pitcher gets the ball in the first game because it allows for a more structured warmup. The Brewers' change could have been motivated by the fact that Lieber is one of the hotter pitchers in baseball. More likely, it was to allow them to send Levrault to the minors after the game and call up a reliever to bolster a tired bullpen.
