god the pitching staff is going to be fucked up for a while, even with the off day tomorow. Harang can’t pitch on Wednesday. I would also like to see Volquez pushed back a day. Perhaps Fogghorn could get a start, maybe demote Belisle and callup Ramirez (tuesday’s starter for Louisville) tuesday to give the Reds a fresh long reliever, and if he isn’t used Tuesday start him on Wednesday, and if he is used Tuesday call up Tom Shearn, and to make room for Shearn demote Ramirez and place Gonzo on the 60 day DL (it won’t effect when he cna return because it will be retroactive to March). Keep Cueto on schedule for Tuesday and Arroyo on schedule for Friday, and start Fogg on Thursday.
