oh christ almighty. wake seems like he was cruising this year. well better now that at the end of sept, i guess.
From SoSH:
Bowden is supposed to pitch today after Colon -- if he's coming up, they'll scratch him (PawSox start at 1 PM)
David Pauley went 7 IP last night -- bzzzt.
Zink would be on 3 days rest.
Devern Hansack would be on regular rest.
Anybody else think this might be a planned, not 100% necessary DL trip to let Wake rest a bit?
