Ramon Santiago??? How is he suddenly an everyday player (pretty much). At what point do you say,"We've got to find more ways to get this kid in the line-up?" Kyle Hendricks is like, "I thought they called me up to the majors. What the heck is this?"
If Rizzo comes up again with nobody on and doesn't back away, I say get him again.

Cub pitcher gets squeezed on both sides of the plate to start --- not good news for a finesse type guy
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
4 pitch walk to Heisey.

Way to go, Heisey...4-pitch Walk to start the game...let everyone take a look at this guy's delivery.
That's how you bat leadoff.

I like Rizzo but he can stop whining. Stand with your arm over the plate and you'll get hit. Just once I'd love to see an umpire call that a strike.
Laying on a bit thick there. Did you miss the post where I said you make a good point that Bruce did have knee surgery earlier this season? Pretty level-headed about this decision by Price today. I don't agree with it, but it's not some huge deal. Flattered that you pay so close attention to my posts from 2 months ago though.
2 straight walks
