I'm really looking forward to this one tonight. Both had uncharacteristic first outings and both will be looking to come out and dominate. This is where the whole point of the Pedro/Schilling combo comes in: to end losing skids. Pedro should have plenty of motivation to bomb on 'em tonight, I don't think we need to mention all of the reasons why.
