Anderson, Wuertz shut down K.C.
The usual Brett Anderson was back Wednesday at the Coliseum, and the nasty Michael Wuertz of last year was very much in action. Anderson, shaking off the rust in his second start off the disabled list, wobbled a bit in the first inning against Kansas City,...

I wasn't planning on Cherry's promotion to beat his scouting report but with the way our pitching has been, the extra arm was needed. Entering the 2006 season, 39 of 48 Cherry's career appearances were as a starting pitcher. But following Tommy John...
