LaHawk can tie his shoes

Word on the progress of LaHawk's case of the shingles:

“It feels good, real good. I can tie my shoes without doubling over in pain or having to bring my shoe to me.”

He played catch yesterday for the third consecutive day, and will throw a bullpen on Friday.

The rotation is set through Monday if need be. With Roy out until Tuesday, this will be your likely rotation:
Friday - Norris
Saturday - Hampton
Sunday - Wandy
Monday - Moehler

This is contingent on Wandy's bullpen session Friday:
“I didn't throw 100 percent, but I feel great. I got another bullpen Friday. On Friday, I'm going to throw 100 percent to see how I feel it. If I feel great, I'll throw Sunday.

Depending on how Roy's bullpen feels after tomorrow, Moehler could be pushed to Tuesday with Roy getting the start on Monday:
“Compared to two days ago, I feel a lot better. I'm more (encouraged) than I was two days ago, big improvement. Maybe I can go Monday or Tuesday, depending on Wandy. So I'll just wait to see how the bullpen goes Friday. I want to throw 100 percent to see where I'm at.”
