Just for the record, this one is on WGN-TV & WGN-Radio.

 

Go CUBS !!

[BWcubs21]

Whats the pitching rotation going to be to start off the year then?

Zambrano-Cin

Rusch (yikes)-Cin

Maddux-Stl

Marshall-Stl

 

So really then Rusch's first 2 games are against the Reds and then a start against the Pirates. Well that makes me feel a little better about him, hopefully that is the rotation order to start the year then.

 

Oh and when will Guzman be added as the 5th starter on the 15th right?

[otis89]

Guzman will most likely not be the 5th starter on the 15th. I believe Dusty has said Williams will start the year as the long man in the pen and move into the rotation on the 15th.

[Jon]

Yeah, it's Williams right now. And Zambrano is going Saturday against the Cardinals with Marshall on Sunday night.
