Rusch to start Friday

[Banedon]

Ugh.

 

After saying Tuesday he might use Glendon Rusch out of the bullpen the next couple of days, Baker confirmed Wednesday that Rusch will start Friday against Detroit. Rusch is 2-5 with an 8.42 earned-run average in seven starts.

[IUBrian]

Dang, I'll be in the bleachers... looks like I better bring my glove.

[Derwood]

Rusch/Marmol/Marshall for the series against Detroit. Just the way you thought the rotation would be back in March, right?

[FloridaCubbie]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Probably Prior on Sunday.

[FloridaCubbie]

Also this means Marmol, who would have started Friday on WGN, Will now likely start Sat on CSN :(.

 

I was really looking forward to watching Marmol pitch.

[gus_dog]

Man....I'm going Friday :x .....I'm also going Sunday. 8)

i'm just going by what Len and Bob said last night, as they said the decision on Prior wouldn't be made until after his side session on Friday

Unfrickin'believable.... :evil:

[FloridaCubbie]

So what was the point of skipping Rusch on Wed?

[Wheelimus]

It would be nice for Dusty to make Friday his "forfeit lineup" day, ugh, let us at least compete the rest of the weekend...

 

Oh well, bright side is Glendon will be out within 4 innings and we'll see the relievers pitch :?

 

EDIT: What makes me scream is, we have Angel Guzman on the staff. We know Rusch will be trash. Why not throw Angel out there instead? At least there, you have the possibility that he throws a good game, he has the talent. Rusch...you just know he's getting rushed out of the game...

The paper said his side session is Thursday, and they would make the decision on Friday, but that barring any setbacks, that he would pitch on Sunday.

 

We'll just have to both say we're right. :)

Ideally his side session would be great, and they'd go Marmol/Marshall/Prior, but we all know that won't happen. Gotta get Rusch his numbers

[thedaymen]

I feel bad for my Mom. Friday will be her first game at Wrigley in 12 years and she's got to see this garbage.

[cubfan1955]

And they think Barretts appeal will be Friday so he'll likely to be out for the whole series. If I were a Tigers fan I'd be feeling pretty good about the weekend. :wink:

Will Carrol wrote about Prior's start in New Orleans and thinks Prior may pitch one more time in the minors before coming up.

Forecast for Chicago Lakeshore area on Friday:

 

88 degrees, SW Wind 20-25 mph

 

Ready to see a HR record re-established by Glendon ? I can see it now from Dusty, "Glendon has saved us, but I'll tell ya, he's been out there a lot when the wind's been howling. It's just like fishing."

[biittner77]

The worst part about watching Poland lose to Germany 1-0 in the 99th minute was seeing this stat line on the ESPN2 crawl

 

Astros (Oswalt) at Cubs (Maddux)

 

Rusch: 29 earned runs in 31 IP in his seven starts

[abuck1220]

well, he's definitely earned it.

You've heard of WHIP. That's RIP. Run per Inning Pitched. Rusch is almost up to 1.00!

Why is Angel Guzman left to die in the bullpen?

[soccer10k]

Time for Chris Shelton to get back on track.

[Brad]

That makes me pretty angry since Friday is the only Cubs' game im going to all year.

 

Just got to prey to the baseball gods for some exploding offence, cause were gunna need it. :x

So he can be ready for long relief on Friday.
