    Shhh. don't you know what Ross' OPS is? It's off the charts. Who cares if he can catch the ball. He needs to be in instead of Bako, right?

    there's nothing like bowling a 300 game! 13 now and retired.


    Ricky henderson has a higher OBP than C. patterson and he's retired. C. Trent 6-14-2008

    Bako is catching tonight.

    Pence K's on the 30th pitch of the inning. Two outs. Hopefully Dusty realizes that Cueto doesn't have the command of his slider tonight and doesn't leave him too long to get pummeled.

    Just being sarcastic. We don't have a catcher I'd go to battle with.

    Agreed. Baker talked up Bako as a defensive specialist but he's been very unimpressive IMO.

    Phillips doubled, Dunn singled. First and third nobody out.

    Edwin K's.

    Edwin is maddening to watch. He has some of the worst at bats imaginable, then hits ropes later in the same game.

    Votto = awful.

    Re: Reds vs Astros 7/28/08

    Just an FYI type of thing, but the LAA Angels for the last month have started a hitter in the 3 spot that is waaaaaaay worse than JR. Does Socia feel bad for Dusty or something?

    Pathetic. Simply pathetic.

    Reds have 1st and 3rd with no outs.
    EE Ks.
    Votto Ks.
    Bako Ks.

    Pathetic.
