    What? Cairo and Valdez in the lineup? Sunday Special, Dusty

    He's been playing Sunday Specials for a week now out of necessity, and they are 5-1.

    In the grand scheme of things, today is an icing on the cake thing. While a sweep would be obviously awesome, the Reds have done so much heavy lifting that today is a must game for one team---and it isn't the one I root for.

    Not sure I wouldn't hit Hanigan sixth and bump Cairo and Valdez down a spot, but other than that I'm in full agreement for this lineup. Rolen has earned a day off, and Phillips shouldn't play until he's 100%.
    Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.

    KittyDuran wants to go but the seat she wants is wheelchair accessible only - she tried sounding pitiful to a Kroger employee to no avail! She could go to another Kroger & lie but would be kicked out of the ballpark... ) Well, she's onto GABP to try her luck there!

    Perfect lineup. Let's try and get a sweep but if they lose, so be it.

    Everything to gain and nothing to lose, except a game in the standings.
    This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.

    I have set in wheelchair accessible...if they don't sell them at some point, they are allowed to be bought by the general public.


    Bring home a win, I have to go school shopping with the kids.

    The first pick of the 2022 amateur draft went 3-3 with a walk from the lead-off position yesturday. His OBP is .780...crazy for a travel team. He pitched 5 innings and gave up 3 runs with NO WALKS...again crazy for 9u...Mustangs win..

    I have a good feeling about Homer today. Hopefully I'm right.

    Me too. I think he steps up big time. And I think A.J. unravels.

    I think the Pirates have a decent chance today, the Reds without Votto, Phillips, Rolen. Scott has been a hot batter and plays that stellar defense, Reds could miss him.

    Still, if Homer does well, I'm confident the Reds will win. Cairo had a big night last night and maybe he'll be on a little roll and get a key hit or two.

    Go Reds.

    Didn't that happen to start the game the day after The Brawl?
