Does anyone know why he didn't start tonight?

It'd be a lot to ask him to pitch back to back nights. He's pitching tomorrow.

You never know with Dusty at the helm. :-b

Oh okay, for some reason he was listed in my league as getting the start tonight, and I believed it as this would be 5 days after his last start...

They decided to give the workhorse an extra day of rest. Also, they might have wanted Cueto to start against Dempster rather than Zambrano. The Reds say that they might skip Cueto vs. Oliver Perez and the Mets later in the week and give Harang his 2nd start of the week. We shall see what Dusty decides after a nice performance from Cueto tonight.

I like Harang, but I am benching him w/ a potent Cubs lineup. The Cubs have lost 2 in row and I think they will be swinging tonight. I think I will wait til next start. Anyone else worried about starting him tonight? His ERA was 7.50 against them this season so far.

I mean, I'm somewhat worried, but he's the ace of my staff. I'm all for playing matchups with role players but you can't bench your ace. Who are your other SPs?

I'm with basketcase. I'm not benching my ace.
