I still don't see how you can have a guy who is OPSing over 1.00 with an OB% of .415 batting 5th in this lineup. And he is 2nd on this team in steals too.

But then, I'm still waiting for that rabbit to come out of the worm hole. ;)

Same ole Aaron Boone, Mr All or Nothing. Looks like more Mr Nothing this year.

And I don't see why Miley is still in the Reds dugout.
And that makes the answer to both our questions somewhat the same.
"He shouldn't be!" :bang:

Games getting ready to start and poor GAC is all alone in chat because I just left to turn on the TV in another room.
Now, SOMEBODY get in there and keep the boy company! :D

Sizemore flies out to right. 1 out.

Blake singles to left.

Broussard flies out to left. 2 out.

Where's George? Off licking Jim Edmonds' boots? Being inducted into the Cardinals hall of fame? Getting a refill on his happy pills?

Ortiz picks Blake off first.

I actually still hold out hope that Ortiz can pitch OK this year. His stats are skewed (I hope) from that very bad start after he got off the DL. He's got a 3.63 ERA in the rest of his starts. This is an important start for him.

Lopez lines out to center. 1 out.

Bergolla strikes out swinging. 2 outs.

Casey flies out to center. 0-0 after 1.

Ludwick flies out to 2nd. 1 out.
