Second-half starting rotation announced

It is as follows: Hiroki Kuroda, Chad Billingsley, Derek Lowe, Chan Ho Park, Eric Stults. D-Lowe will go about 10 days without pitching, but this means he won't have to pitch in the Colorado series July 21-23, because his history at Coors Field is, by his own admission, pretty bad. Kuroda's ``opening-day'' assignment will no doubt make big waves in his native Japan. Don't forget Penny and Schmidt will join the rotation at some point around the end of the month.
