Re: 5/5/12 - Reds at Pirates
Wow. That was helpful. Clearly ball four that Barmes just hacked away at.

Re: 5/5/12 - Reds at Pirates
That was by far the worst I've seen Jose look all season. To get out of that mess unscathed is a Houdini and a half.

Re: 5/5/12 - Reds at Pirates
But that deal never happened. Everybody says the D-Backs will deal Parra except for the D-backs who play him almost every day.

Bruce, Rolen, and Ludwick are slated to come up in the top of the 9th against Hannahan.

Re: 5/5/12 - Reds at Pirates
That Miller Lite "punch top" commercial is marketing gold. Makes me want to drink anything but Miller Lite.

Re: 5/5/12 - Reds at Pirates
I don't see the fascination with him to be honest.

Re: 5/5/12 - Reds at Pirates
Let's hope that's the lousy outing of May for Arredondo. Lots of drama, no runs.
Bruce dinger? Even odds?

Re: 5/5/12 - Reds at Pirates
Well that's in part due to Chris Young's injury. Before that he only started a handful of games.

Re: 5/5/12 - Reds at Pirates
Pirates pitching staff....underrated IMO. Some solid starter prospects on the way too.

Re: 5/5/12 - Reds at Pirates
Pirates pitching and Astros hitting would be a dangerous combo.

Re: 5/5/12 - Reds at Pirates
No, Astros hitting is a mirage. Big time.
