How many of us could spare 5 dollars?

4 runs in 5 innings keeps a team in the game? An ERA approaching 9? Not to mention how many outs he got that were less the result of good pitching, and more the result of his fielders being able to act in self-defense and not be inpaled by another well-hit line drive.

Why not pick a game on the next homestand and proclaim it "Milton Emancipation Night" and sell out the ballpark. Have WLW hype it and see who shows.

wow. nicely done. that's 1000 times more plausable than getting people to send money to a perfect stranger. E-mail will be sent soon.

For a #5 starter yea he kept the team in the game. Out of my #5 starter I am looking for him not to implode and turn it over to the bullpen with the team having a chance to win the game. By no means is it a good outing but he didn't kill the reds and the reds didn't score any runs to support him. Milton isn't like Harang and Arroyo who can give up runs but still work late into the game. He is basically a 5-6 inning pitcher who is ok the first and second time through the lineup. He will never live up to the contract he signed so I am just accepting what he can do.
