Jerry Narron's past his probation with me. With the pitching as bad as it is, the only joy this team can give is the offense. Yet he keeps not only playing Womack, but he keeps putting him at the top of the lineup.
I want both Narron and Womack gone yesterday.
Shouldn't the title read "The Original Red Sox vs. The We-Stole-Your-Name-Because-We-Bought-Your-Shortstop-in-1871-Red-Sox?
George & Harry Wright started it all. First Free Agents to leave Cincinnati. (Asa Brainard nonewithstanding)
Pardon me, I just got my history book taken away from me again.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
If Jack Clark would come out of retirement, the Redsox could be the Pep Boys!
Manny, (Willy)Mo, and jack!

KILL! KILL! KILL!
Where's the love?KILL! KILL! KILL!
Go Gators!
For whom?Where's the love?
For the Reds - it's right here baby!
This is going to be a good game. Hopefully no one will get socked.
Just sayin
no radio?
Awfully hospitable of the Reds to go along with the DH thing this close to the season. I'm sure Big Papi is grateful.
Obviously Narron suckered them into that deal by making sure that they would let the Reds use the DH when they play there if the Sox could use the DH tonight.
Oh Jerry, you're so sneaky....Obviously Narron suckered them into that deal by making sure that they would let the Reds use the DH when they play there if the Sox could use the DH tonight.
So, that's what he learned from Grady Little. There had to be something.
Now in the top of the 5th, with Dave Williams still dealing. Marty notes that Dave Williams is slated to head to extended spring training, which makes absolutely no sense.
1.) Josh Bard grounds to Edwin Encarnacion, who makes the put out across the diamond. 1 out.
2.) Coco Crisp smokes the ball down the right field line, all the way to the wall. Crisp smokes around the basepath before stopping at 2nd with a double. He declares himself part of this complete breakfast. 1 out, man on 2nd.
3.) Kevin Youklis, Greek God of Walks, steps up on the mortal plane and does what he does best: takes a free pass down to first. The OPS ticks up another point -- Reds fans look at Youklis, then look at Williams, and merely shake their head in disgust over the Casey deal. 1st and 2nd, 1 out.
4.) David Ortiz hits a soft liner into left field. He tell Williams that he loves it when you call him Big Papi (throw the hands in the ayyyeer, if you a true playeeeer). Crisp has to hold at 3rd, and now the sacks are juiced for Manny Ramirez. I predict bad things happening shortly. Sacks full, 1 out.
5.) Manny Ramirez hits a deep fly ball that stays in the park. Crisp scores from 3rd to put the Red Sox back up by 2. Youklis moves to 2nd. Dave Williams not out of the woods yet as Wily Mo "I eat Lefties for Breakfast" Pena steps in. 1st and 3rd, 2 outs.
6.) For the briefest of seconds, the Universe falls into perfect allignment and the inner beauty of creation shines upon as all, as Wily Modesto Pena, 24 from Laguna Salda, DR takes a walk. The choirs of angels sing as Wily Mo jogs to first base in his "Took a Walk" trot. Pena wonders what the big deal is. Theo Epstein sheds a tear of joy. Bases Loaded, 2 outs.
7.) Hee Seop Choi grounds out weakly to end the inning. Apparently they don't read "Casey at the Bat" over in Korea. There'll be no joy in Seol tonight.
Heading to the home half of the 5th, it's the Boys on the Docks 3, Reds 1.
