I don't know how this wasn't crystal clear from the get. Hannahan over Mesoraco as a hitter? OK. I know it was "just one game" but bottom line is it wasn't an intelligent baseball move. Only Dusty would use a defensive specialist/noted bad hitter as a DH.
There is no adequate argument for this post.

So, even when he does something you like, you still criticize him ;)

I share your fondness, no doubt about it.
Re: 5/30/2013 Reds at Indians
Bailey looked pretty good getting them out of that mess.
Re: 5/30/2013 Reds at Indians
Just so you know Blitz, the backup catcher as a DH thing...I was only hesitant to do it because I wasn't familiar with the DH rules if the fielding catcher got hurt. But once it was explained...I was fine with Mes DH'ing.
Although you easily could be talking about someone else. But since the world revolves around me, I automatically assume it's about me. *grin*
Re: 5/30/2013 Reds at Indians
Just a couple of beautiful splitters from Bailey.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm relieved to finally hear Blitz weigh in on how he feels about Dusty's nightly decision making. The tension was killing me.
Re: 5/30/2013 Reds at Indians
Question about tonight:
Which pitcher's statistical correction will rule the night?
My guess is Homer. Far better track record. Kazmir is about to crack.

I'm also relieved to know that while they might not agree on which Paula Dean pillow top set to get, that Pete and Kiana will surely end up with some variety of Paul Dean pillow top set.
Re: 5/30/2013 Reds at Indians
Who in hades is Paula Dean, and why should I buy her products?
That's the real question.
Re: 5/30/2013 Reds at Indians
I don't think I've ever heard someone pronounce Kazmir's name like the Led Zepplin title. LOL.
Re: 5/30/2013 Reds at Indians
Wow, the gold glover almost misplayed that into a triple!
Re: 5/30/2013 Reds at Indians
Frazier not having as much fun at the old ballpark these days.
