Kepp's lined out twice tonight. Still, Reds score 4 to take the lead 5-4 after 2.

Ha! Recently got a speeding ticket there. I was on my way to Charleston and thought I'd skip I64. Never again unless I slow down.

I don't live that far from you so the samething is happening to me. Stuck with the Pirates announcers.

Screwball,

I love your quote by Rich Donnelly. I have had the pleasure of meeting him on three occasions. What a great guy!

Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08

I love that here in North Carolina near Charlotte the Reds are televised every night so I don't have to get Extra Innings but now I don't get JTM or FarmersOnly.com commercials.

You haven't met many southern West Virginians. OBM will agree, I think that there are zero Pirate fans in the area. It's either the stupidity of the Reds for not claiming this area or the stpidity of MLB for assigning this area to Pittsburgh

Haha, nice. I figured it was relevant with the way the Reds have been struggling to score runs. Well, until tonight that is.

Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08

Maybe it's been some scouting and preparation, maybe it's been some small adjustments, maybe it's just a Reds-like Pirates pitcher, maybe it's all the above and something else ... but it sure is nice to see Bruce coming around a bit now and rebounding after the slump he's had.
