5-2 Homestands will always work.

I am! , didn't you know that?

[Mutaman]

Great? You use that term very very loosely...
Is he also a Great hitter?

Don't be ridiculous. Hes a .250 hitter with too big a swing and too many moving parts. But defensively, hes got a terrific arm, good speed, great range, good instincts, hits the cut off man and he's fearless. That's why his occasional bobbles are so infuriating.

[50YrRedsFan]

Well, tell Dusty not to play you....tell him your Heisey.

I am!, didn't you know that?

Hannigan with 2 rbi's in one week! That was a GREAT throw, Ryan!
And the X man's 3 bagger!

[Mutaman]

Hannigan plays such a big role on this team in ways that are not obvious. That's why its nice to see him be a hero.

Your ridiculous, he's not even close to being a great outfielder.

[Stray]

Nice win. Also Jim Day just talked bad about Soriano's defense in the post game. What gives? Someone should let those guys know that he's a good LFer, they sound stupid piling on him for no reason.

Name a great Reds right fielder and let's compare him to Bruce.

Last 40 games
30-10
Series record of 10-1-1
only +49 RD though
7-1 in 1 run games
17-4 in games decided by 1 or 2 runs

Running hot sure is really fun though. Just gotta enjoy it while it lasts. Hopefully we can bottle it up and find a way to carry it over to the playoffs, bc we all know how big of a crapshoot the playoffs are.

How about O'Neill? A great outfielder. Bruce is just as good except for the occasional mistakes (which is what I'm complaining about) and the fact that O'Neill made some outstanding defensive plays in the post season.

(You said, "Jay is fearless") nothing could be further from the truth! If you can't see how afraid of the wall he is, there is no way I can debate you on this.

If it will make you happy, I will redact the word "fearless" . i was referring to the way he dives for balls.

I strongly disagree with the fearless part.

There is no way JB can punt the ball right to the 1st baseman...
