Something's going on at Busch: Kyle Lohse has been pulled as today's starter
in favor of Brad Thompson.

Maybe the team doesn't want to give any more "ammunition" to Scott Boras
(Lohse's agent) to argue for a higher salary next year if Lohse should win
his 16th game today and has to settle for 15 wins?

Or is it something else?
