I hope Mays outperforms the last ex Royal

[jimbo]

Yeah, that Jeff Austin game against ATL sticks out in my mind.

I hear you. I remember that game vividly. I truely felt bad for the guy, one of the worst shellings I've ever seen.

Mays will pitch an outstanding game 7 innings vs. Pedro with 3 hits and 1 run. Bullpen blows up again and well you know the rest of the story.........

[KronoRed]

3 IP, 15 hits, 18 runs, 3 BB, 0 K, 15 homeruns.

I'd hope they would pull him after hit 10

Man, I missed that Don Heffner guy so much.

I think he's back...

I was there.

Here's the recap of the carnage:

After the first inning was over, I walked out to buy a beer. As the beer man was pouring my brew, I told him something to the effect of "many more innings like that & I'll be the best customer you've ever had."

He looked up, saw my Reds hat, then just started laughing.

Edit: And it's also worth noting that Jung Bong pitched the final 3 innings for a save that night.

(Bong came in with a 12-2 lead and notched a save? Has any pitcher ever been spotted a bigger lead than Bong had that night and notched a save?)

And after Boone yanked Austin in the 1st, who did he turn to in the 'pen? Joey Hamilton. When Joey Hamilton gets the call to relieve Jeff Austin, you know your team has the worst pitching staff the game has ever seen...

and Jung Bong got the save in that game.

Twilight Zone stuff.

I. still. hate. jeff. austin.

My worst...driving to Cincy from Memphis and seeing him face seven batters against the Marlins without recording an out to start the game. I wanted him to get run over with a thresher as he left the mound. No such luck.

I was at that game as well. I remember that game moreso than the ATL game.

who do you think escaped with more asset on the vaunted Van Snider for Jeff Montgomery trade with the Royals. Snider was an original five tool player, minus an important component. Instead of being able to hit, hit with power, run, throw and field. He could merely salivate
