Need to get on the board early to help Leake out. McDonald has had 3 good starts in a row

Re: 5/5/12 - Reds at Pirates
Guys who are basically defensive replacements hitting 2nd and 6th, the best lead-off option hitting 4th and the best RH power hitting 7th and 8th.

Re: 5/5/12 - Reds at Pirates
McCutchen back in the lineup. He's there sparkplug. We need to keep him off the bases. I know Mes has to catch sometimes but it seems Homer is the only pitcher that is working well with him. Maybe Leake needs a start with Hannigan to get straightened around. It seemed to have worked for Latos. I agree that Mes could get some starts in LF once in a while. Hannigan just calls a much better game at this point, and frames the pitches a whole lot better

Okay, what in the world is that junk floating down in front of the outfield camera. It's a bit late for snow, right? :O)

In his last 3 starts McDonald is averaging 2 strikeouts an inning. Guy's been on a roll

Okay, on further inspection, it's got to be bugs of some type. They're all over the place.

Re: 5/5/12 - Reds at Pirates
What were they calling them bugs in the division series in Cleveland that year when Joba's neck was covered in them???
