Reds on MLB Network Tonight
 

Granted, it was a loss, but the 2001 game where Randy Johnson had 20 Ks against us is on at 830 eastern tonight.

The lineups have been posted:

Cincinnati Reds
Sadler lf
Castro 1b
Larkin ss
Ochoa rf
Boone 3b
Rivera cf
Reese 2b
Stinnett c
Reitsma p

Arizona Diamondbacks
Finley cf
Bell 2b
Gonzalez lf
Sanders rf
Grace 1b
Miller c
Womack ss
Counsell 3b
Johnson p


I'm expecting a good game from Reitsma, but Graves has been looking shaky lately.

:angry: Sadler and his .280 OBP leading off! :angry:

Re: Reds on MLB Network Tonight
 

I remember watching this game. Johnson was on that night, but that was a crap lineup Boone put out there.

IIRC, the Reds shoud have won this game.

Re: Reds on MLB Network Tonight
 

That is one sad lineup...

FIRE BOB BOONE

I was at that game... I actually found myself cheering for Johnson, I was 15 years old so don't hold it against me...

I'm actually pretty sure I was at this game. I remember me and my buddies sneaking in a bunch of beers.

The Red Sox just hired Alex Ochoa as an asst. coach.

Re: Reds on MLB Network Tonight
 

That really was an unfortunate line-up. How long ago did 1999 look by that point in 2001? A long time back...

Re: Reds on MLB Network Tonight
 

Funny thing is, the Reds almost won that game - twice.

Re: Reds on MLB Network Tonight
 

May 8, 2001...I was about to receive my J.D. that upcoming weekend.

Wasn't May of 2001 when one of Graves' all-time disasters against the Cardinals happened? My memory mercifully dims...

Just a heads up - MLB Network will be showing highlights of the Reds/Yankees 1961 World Series on Thursday at 1:30 PM. I've never seen those highlights before. I'm looking forward to watching it even though they lost the series. At the very least I'll get to watch Frank Robinson and Vada Pinson ... and those great uniforms.

Did anyone watch MLB Network last night from 10:00 to 11:00? Larkin and Casey were both on there which is awesome because they are bringing more attention to the Reds. Towards the end of the show they showed the Reds/Rays highlights and then the batting stance guy came on and impersonated the Big Red Machine hitters, and then did his Larkin and Casey impersonation. Then they followed by showing clips of Larkin and Casey from the brutal 2001 season.

For those interested in seeing it, they are currently showing a repeat. Or you can go to the Reds website and watch in the video corner on the right side.

I did. It was a lot of fun, and completely unexpected.
