Seriously Dusty? You couldn't have a great defensive OF and Gomes DH?
This is easily the worst move of the year. Seriously, why in the hell would you DH Cairo?
These 2 games against these 2 pitchers are going to tell me a lot.
And while on the subject of Cliff Lee...under what scenario does a guy with an ERA of around 5 over 4 years suddenly become a no-doubter top-5 pitcher in the league. Anyone know the story on that?

Wonder if tonight's game isn't Heisey's shot. A nice performance and I think we'd see him starting tommorrow.
nevermind
All players need starts and this is a good spot for Cairo, given his history against Lee.
For curiosity sake I'd like to see Stubbs against CL, but I can't knock a manager for DHing Cairo who's had sucess, albeit limited, against a top shelf pitcher.

Since I was supposed to start this GT to continue the Reds winning streak, this is the best I can do:
*THIS TEXT IS MY OFFICIAL START TO THE GAME THREAD*
There we go. I'll see if that's enough. ;)
I should be able to do PBP again tonight.

Don't know, but it does appear that Heisey has changed his batting stance which I think is essential for him to have any success at this level. The other night when he homered he seemed to have held his hands lower and dropped his bat from the vertical position it had been previously. Or maybe I was drunk.
