6/13 Reds[Pettitte] @ Cubs[Marshall] - 7:05 pm CT on CSN

 

Pettitte plays for the ASTROS.

Rusch is being skipped...Marshall, Maddux and Zambrano! Victory is ours!

That makes about as much sense as the stupid one they have at the juice box. Man, I hate the Astros.

 

Cubs win, 8-3.

[Banedon]

Rusch is being skipped...Marshall, Maddux and Zambrano! Victory is ours!

 

Will Prior be back for Rusch's next turn in the rotation, or no?

[Mizzou]

Rusch is being skipped...Marshall, Maddux and Zambrano! Victory is ours!

 

Will Prior be back for Rusch's next turn in the rotation, or no?

They said during the game yesterday that if all goes well in his AAA start tomorrow night, he could start this Sunday against Detroit.

I'd rather have him pitch two more starts. I don't want another Kerry Wood can't make a 5 day start. Make sure he's ready...

 

I like our future:

 

Z

Marshall

Marmol

Prior (if healthy)

Maddux (I hope they lock him up for two more years)

This will already be his 4th rehab start (Kerry had 3) and he's going to be going over 90 pitches next time. Mark has said that while he won't be hitting 120 right out of the gate, he will be going 6 or 7 innings.

Why do you want Maddux for two more years, let alone one more year?

Why because he's still good for at least 12 wins a year and I like the repoire he's built with some of the kids like Marshall and Marmol. I'll take back the two year deal and only offer him 1. 2 is a bit much. Zito will not come to Chicago. He's a Cali type of player...

[Banedon]

Zito will not come to Chicago. He's a Cali type of player...

 

He and Brian Giles should form a club!
