[vaticanplum]

Dunn batting sixth.

I kinda get it. Furthermore, I trust Narron. I feel faint being able to say that. This is a whole new world.

[kbrake]

We have won 8 straight I will not gripe about the lineup.

[SirFelixCat]

If it ain't broke...I ain't arguing with Narron.... Go Reds! Gametime today is? (stuck at work...yet again)

[reds44]

Dunn batting 6th is completely understandable. The lineup is fine by me, although I woudl have liked to see Freel in it.


If it ain't broke...I ain't arguing with Narron.... Go Reds! Gametime today is? (stuck at work...yet again)

7:10

[CTA513]

I hope it works out to the Reds advantage that the Cubs put out a line up that has 4 guys batting under .250 (not including the pitcher).

[TheBigLebowski]

Lotta slowpokes in the middle of that order.

[Matt700wlw]

Can they just skip over Claussen tomorrow?

[CTA513]

Can they just skip over Claussen tomorrow?

It would be better if the Cubs skipped Zambrano for this series.

:p:

[KronoRed]

6th and 7th?

Boo

:D

[reds44]

SRO only crowd tonight according to FSNO! WOOOO

http://images.redreporter.com/images/admin/lizard.JPG

[Matt700wlw]

I think the Reds fans who have standing room only should be entitled to kick a Cubs "fan" out of his or her seats and make them go away.

Good stuff here. Great to hear it's SRO...can't wait to get home and watch the whoopin' the boys put on the woeful lil baby bears.:beerme:

[KronoRed]

Attention cub fans, those of you who were alive the last time your team won a world series please remain seated, the rest please move to the nearest exit, baseball fans need your seats

;)

[dsmith421]

Kearnsy is OPSing nearly 1.000 over the last week...does anyone have any insight why he's batting seventh instead of fourth?

[StillFunkyB]

Kearnsy is OPSing nearly 1.000 over the last week...does anyone have any insight why he's batting seventh instead of fourth?

Yeah, I don't get it.

I'm listening online, here in the Orlando Intl Airport. Flight to Philly delayed due to weather. I was mad until I realized there was free WiFi. :)

Go REDS!

[Falls City Beer]

Reds are 12 games over .500 on June 9th. That's some rarefied air--almost like a spacewalk; let's hope the umbilicus doesn't snap.

[StillFunkyB]

Woeismack popped out to FeLo. 1 down.

[StillFunkyB]

Pierre GO, 2 down.

[OnBaseMachine]

Easy nine pitch inning for Ramirez.

[StillFunkyB]

Pop out to BPhil, 3 up 3 down....

[Red in Chicago]

we really need to get to maddox tonight...zambrano's going tomorrow against claussen...

[StillFunkyB]

FeLo down 0-2

[StillFunkyB]

FeLo K's, one down...

[Matt700wlw]

Nice catch by Maddux.

That's why he's a gold glover...he makes it look routine

[Red in Chicago]

maddog with the usual gold glove reaction

[StillFunkyB]

Liner right back at Maddux, two down...Jr up

[StillFunkyB]

I am bored here in the airport JR, hit a homer for me! :)

[StillFunkyB]

Jr "grounds" out. 3 up, 3 down

[OnBaseMachine]

How the heck did he catch that? Jeez. That ball was crushed.

Griffey robbed of a hit by the shift.

[StillFunkyB]

ARam GO, 1 down.

[StillFunkyB]

Jock Jones up (yes I know it's not spelled that way)

[StillFunkyB]

base hit.

[StillFunkyB]

Cedeno slow roller to RA, and he just misses getting him at 1st.

[OnBaseMachine]

He was out, IMO.

Another bad call appears to go against the Reds.

[StillFunkyB]

1st and 2nd for Bynum with 1 down.

[StillFunkyB]

Bynum FO on first pitch. 2 down. Marty didn't say if the runners advanced so I would ASSUME they did not.

[OnBaseMachine]

Ramirez...sad. Gives him a 2-run double to a .089 hitter.

[StillFunkyB]

Blanco doubles in two.

[Matt700wlw]

Ouch.


Get 'em back, boys.

[StillFunkyB]

Yeah, Marty made sure to emphasize Blanco's BA.

[OnBaseMachine]

Blanco was 4-for-45 before that hit.

It was only a matter of time before Ramirez started getting rocked. The first base ump didn't help by extending the inning with that call, but you can't give up a hit to Blanco.

[Red in Chicago]

blanco...i mean really...:thumbdown

[CTA513]

Ramirez...sad. Gives him a 2-run double to a .089 hitter.

Blanco now has 5 RBIs on the year.

:laugh:

[PickOff]

Blanco was 4-for-45 before that hit.

It was only a matter of time before Ramirez started getting rocked.

Why is that?

[Matt700wlw]

Blanco was 4-for-45 before that hit.

It was only a matter of time before Ramirez started getting rocked. The first base ump didn't help by extending the inning with that call, but you can't give up a hit to Blanco.


Good lord. Calm down. 2 runs is nothing. You act like the game is out of reach.

Blanco, well....that's bad...

[OnBaseMachine]

Why is that?

His stuff is very, very pedestrian. Ramirez's control has to be spot on each night for him to be successful.

[Matt700wlw]

His stuff is very, very pedestrian. Ramirez's control has to be spot on each night for him to be successful.

I would say most pitchers control has to be on to be successful...some more than others.

He's technically a #5 guy, he's done fine so far.

[StillFunkyB]

Had to find a power outlet for the lappy. Plane has finally landed, so I will be signing off soon. Someone else wanna do PBP...

[CTA513]

Maddux has a no hitter going right now.

[PickOff]

His stuff is very, very pedestrian. Ramirez's control has to be spot on each night for him to be successful.

He has good zip on his fastball, however, and mixes up his pitches well. It is not like he is throwing up Claussen or Williams stuff.

[Red in Chicago]

Maddux has a no hitter going right now.

nice job with the early jinx:evil:

[OnBaseMachine]

Dunn homers to left!

[Matt700wlw]

:dunn:

:jump:


There's one!!

[Red in Chicago]

dunn with the bomb!!!

[CTA513]

nice job with the early jinx:evil:

Dunn breaks up the no hitter with a homerun.

:thumbup:

[GullyFoyle]

Maddux has a no hitter going right now.

Nice Job!! :thumbup:

[Matt700wlw]

Game is a sellout.

[Red in Chicago]

Game is a sellout.

at least two of the empty seats belong to me...couldn't make it:thumbdown

[westofyou]

George is the ghost of deadball past, his tales of scrappy bunters are awash in imagery that evokes visions of train whistles, cardboard suitcases and ragtime.

Then Chris squashes him with HR talk.

You know what I hear when George talks?


la la la la la la

[redsrule2500]

George is not as bad as you all make him out to be.

Also, what the heck was Zambrano doing...looking like an idiot.

[Red in Chicago]

Also, what the heck was Zambrano doing...looking like an idiot.

z-man is a psycho...plain and simple

[letsgojunior]

Hi game threadies

[OnBaseMachine]

Valentin robbed of a hit.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lopez grounds out to 2nd. 2-1 Cubs after 3.

[Red in Chicago]

maddox looking tough...better get going fellas

[CTA513]

maddox looking tough...better get going fellas

They have hit the ball hard a few times, but Maddux helped rob 2 of the hits.
He caught one, then one hit off of his leg.

[OnBaseMachine]

Maddux has pitched great in his two starts vs the Reds this year.. and struggled against everyone else since the beginning of May.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ramirez leads off with a double to right center.

[KronoRed]

Kearnsy is OPSing nearly 1.000 over the last week...does anyone have any insight why he's batting seventh instead of fourth?
Not a solid vet

[RFS62]

whattup lgj

[Reds Fanatic]

Jones reaches on a hard hit infield single that Phillips knocks down. 1st and 3rd with no outs.

[westofyou]

George is not as bad as you all make him out to be.

Also, what the heck was Zambrano doing...looking like an idiot.Mussilini kept the trains on time too.

[OnBaseMachine]

The Cubs AA lineup is stinging the ball of Ramirez. ;)

[KronoRed]

DP please

[PickOff]

The Cubs AA lineup is stinging the ball of Ramirez. ;)

Yeah, Ramirez and Jones = AA.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cedeno pops out to short. 1 out.

[westofyou]

Mathewson

[MrCinatit]

Could the Aflack (sp?) question be any easier?
Who is the only pitcher already with 300 wins to pitch for the Reds to join the ballclub since 1900.
hmmmm.
was it Cory Lidle?

[RFS62]

Mathewson


Didn't we trade him for Russie before he became famous?

[WebScorpion]

DP please Ok, how about one NOW? :thumbup:

[OnBaseMachine]

Is Tom Seaver the answer to the Aflac question?

Edit. Nope.

[edabbs44]

Not a solid vet
I'm starting to get put off by this lineup game Narron is playing. There is no reason why Aurilia should be hitting 4th against a righty. The guy isn't even a regular and bats cleanup against a righty? Doesn't make sense at all and Jerry should figure it out. You know Dunn and AK will start to talk about this. And Hatte hitting 5th is just plain wrong.

[westofyou]

Didn't we trade him for Russie before he became famous?
Yes we was the Giants farm team then.. they were the Yankees in a derby hat with breath like onions..

[OnBaseMachine]

Yeah, Ramirez and Jones = AA.

Tony Womack, Ronny Cedeno, Juan Pierre, Henry Blanco, Freddy Bynum. Yeah, great hitters. ;)

[MrCinatit]

Didn't we trade him for Russie before he became famous?

yeah, but I think the Reds were a major-league minor-league team for the Giants at the time.

[KronoRed]

Tony Womack, Ronny Cedeno, Juan Pierre, Henry Blanco, Freddy Bynum. Yeah, great hitters. ;)
Hey...Womack was an allstar ;)

[westofyou]

Mathewson pitched his last game in MLB as a Red, it was a late september game 1916 and the opponent was the Cubs, who had another old picther going in his swan song , 3 finger Brown.... it was pumped up in the press, he won something like 9-7.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bynum walks on an 8 pitch AB. Bases loaded.

[Reds Fanatic]

Blanco hits a sac. fly to right. 3-1 Cubs. 2 outs.

[edabbs44]

Come on EZ...hold them here and we should be fine.

[Red in Chicago]

three rbi's for blanco...you've got to be kidding me:bang:

[OnBaseMachine]

Ramirez walks Bynum(one walk in 56 atbats) to get to Blanco, who again stings one but right at Kearns. Ramirez scores on the sac fly.

[RFS62]

Cool.

Didn't know he pitched for us again after he came back.

[CTA513]

three rbi's for blanco...you've got to be kidding me:bang:

He had 3 RBIs coming into tonights game.

:help:

[Reds Fanatic]

Maddux strikes out swinging. 3-1 Cubs mid 4th.

[GAC]

chats open

[OnBaseMachine]

Phillips robbed again, this time of a double.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds out to 3rd. 1 out.

[WebScorpion]

three rbi's for blanco...you've got to be kidding me:bang:

I think Blanco is on the Lizard's fantasy team.:dunno:

[Reds Fanatic]

Junior lines out to right. 2 outs.

[GAC]

As bad as Maddux has been in the last month, he sure has our number.

[Reds Fanatic]

Aurilia grounds out to short. 3-1 Cubs after 4.

[RFS62]

As bad as Maddux has been in the last month, he sure has our number.

The late movement on his stuff is what's putting him in the hall of fame.

[OnBaseMachine]

3-1 Cubs after 4.

[GAC]

If we AGAIN show no patience with Maddox (like last time), it's gonna be a rough night for us.

[Reds Fanatic]

Womack flies out to right. 1 out.

[GAC]

What is ironic is that we've beaten Zambrano both times we faced him.... but Maddox? Nadda ;)

[WebScorpion]

If we AGAIN show no patience with Maddox (like last time), it's gonna be a rough night for us.

Maddux is not really a guy who can be beaten by patience...he just throws you 3 strikes. It would tire him out a little quicker if all our outs were K's though. :eek:

[RFS62]

Two muffs for Javier tonite

[GAC]

Pierre just upped his OB% to .241 :lol:

[Reds Fanatic]

Pierre reaches on an error by Valentin as he bunts and Valentin tries to field it with his throwing hand and drops it.

[OnBaseMachine]

Valentin butchers a bunt. Can't give teams four outs in an inning, especially with Ramirez pitching.

[GAC]

Maddux is not really a guy who can be beaten by patience...he just throws you 3 strikes. It would tire him out a little quicker if all our outs were K's though. :eek:

That's true Web. But I'm seeing our guys up there 1st pitch hacking, and I'd like to see a better effort against this 40 yr old to work the count and get him out of there.

We're helping him and making it easier. The guy has had a terrible month of May with an ERA over 7.

[Reds Fanatic]

Walker flies out to center. 2 outs.

[RFS62]

Tough night for our catcher

[Reds Fanatic]

Pierre steals 2nd. The throw goes into center field. Valentin's 2nd error of the inning. Pierre goes to 3rd.

[Matt700wlw]

Javy is rusty. VERY rusty.

The Reds offense needs to get to Maddux...I really don't want to see the streak end anytime soon :D

[OnBaseMachine]

Valentin is giving this one away as he now throws a ball in centerfield.

That should be three errors on him tonight.

[MrCinatit]

wow. Rough inning for Javier

[Matt700wlw]

Lizard gets out of it.

Nice.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ramirez grounds out to short. 3-1 Cubs mid 5th.

[OnBaseMachine]

Groundout to Felipe to end the inning.

[GAC]

Lizard around 80 pitches.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lizard around 80 pitches.
In comparison Maddux is through 4 on only 43 pitches.

[Matt700wlw]

Kind of like that

:jump:

[OnBaseMachine]

Hatteberg homers!

[Reds Fanatic]

Hatteberg homers to right! 3-2 Cubs.

[vaticanplum]

Hatte

Man

[GAC]

Hat lights up Maddox!

3-2


LET'S GO!

And that really says alot about our hitters tonight (not trying to take anything away from Greg).

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn grounds out to 2nd. 1 out.

[OnBaseMachine]

Dunn groundsout into the shift, 1 down.

[GAC]

2 hits 2 homers ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Kearns grounds out to 2nd. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Valentin flies out to left. 3-2 Cubs after 5.

[GAC]

Ya gotta feel for the Lizard. He seems to pitch and keep us in the games, yet gets no support from our offense.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jones grounds out to 2nd. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cedeno singles to left.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bynum flies out to center. 2 outs.

[OnBaseMachine]

3-0 Brewers over Cards after 1. Mark Mulder is getting torched again.

[edabbs44]

3-0 Milwaukee in the 2nd...

[edabbs44]

Babe Blanco up...

[GAC]

Javy finally nails a runner!

inning over!

[OnBaseMachine]

Cedeno caught stealing. Inning over.

[Reds Fanatic]

Valentin throws out Cedeno attempting to steal. 3-2 Cubs mid 6th.

That should be the end of the night for Ramirez. He threw 96 pitches and leads off this inning.

[kyred14]

I'm getting that big inning feeling.

[GAC]

Valentin throws out Cedeno attempting to steal. 3-2 Cubs mid 6th.

That should be the end of the night for Ramirez. He threw 96 pitches and leads off this inning.

So who PHs? Freel or Q? :lol:

[reds44]

QS for Elizardo.

[GAC]

Olmedo to PH

[Reds Fanatic]

Olmedo pinch hitting for Ramirez.

Ramirez's line for the night. 6IP, 6H, 3ER, 1BB, 3K.

[vaticanplum]

Hey Reds -- I'm about to go to supper with a cubs fan. This could be a pleasant dinner, or it could be screeching agony. Please win.

[Matt700wlw]

Olmedo!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Olmedo doubles to the wall in center.

[reds44]

Yeah Olmedo!!!!

[edabbs44]

Olmedo? I seriously think Narron has no idea what he is doing in a given situation (i.e., who's PHing, making out the lineup, etc) until .1 seconds before having to make a decision.

Edit: OK, Olmedo doubled. But I still can't see it. Q would have been the PH if this game was last night. Now Ray takes his spot? And don't get me wrong, I'd rather have Ray Olmedo, Ray Nitschke and Ray Charles PHing before Q.

[GAC]

Ruy Ruy!

off the wall in CF for a leadoff dbl!

[Matt700wlw]

Hey Reds -- I'm about to go to supper with a cubs fan. This could be a pleasant dinner, or it could be screeching agony. Please win.

Throw food at him.

[Matt700wlw]

Olmedo? I seriously think Narron has no idea what he is doing in a given situation (i.e., who's PHing, making out the lineup, etc) until .1 seconds before having to make a decision.

That's not fair, because Bucky Dent is managing tonight.

Looks like Bucky knows more than you :mooner:

[Reds Fanatic]

Lopez singles to right. 1st and 3rd with no outs.

[reds44]

Berry changed his mind again.

[kyred14]

Olmedo? I seriously think Narron has no idea what he is doing in a given situation (i.e., who's PHing, making out the lineup, etc) until .1 seconds before having to make a decision.

Narron ain't managing.

[GAC]

sinlge by Lopez, but Olmedo has to hold at 3B.

0 outs - glad they didn't take the chance.

[reds44]

Doesn't it seem like EZ goes 6 and give up 3 every start?

[edabbs44]

4-0 Brew Crew

[vaticanplum]

Olmedo? I seriously think Narron has no idea what he is doing in a given situation (i.e., who's PHing, making out the lineup, etc) until .1 seconds before having to make a decision.

Bucky Dent is a scrappy manager.

[GAC]

Be a hero here Brandon! :thumbup:

[edabbs44]

OK, forgot Bucky is managing...my bad. I'll give Bucky all the props since he didn't use Q. Go Bucky Friggin Dent!

[reds44]

Send him!!!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips lines out to right. Berry holds Olmedo on 3rd. 1 out.

[GAC]

#$#%^^$%$@!!~!~

[RFS62]

Boy, Phillips has squared it up every time with no results

[MrCinatit]

wow. Brandon has hit the ball hard tonight, and has nothing to show for it.

[reds44]

BP wasn't happy.

[GAC]

Glad they didn't chance it - Jr up

[Reds Fanatic]

Pitching change.

[reds44]

Mr. CLutch up.

Erye coming in.

Olmedo was hitting .344 in AAA.

[edabbs44]

Around the league...

Unit gets abused (4 inn, 6 runs, 6 walks) and the almighty Yanks are down 6-1 to the A's.

Milwaukee now up 6-0 over the Cards in the 2nd. CLee with a 3 run bomb.

Boston up 3-2 over Texas in the 7th with the Sox threatening

[GAC]

Eyre in 1.7 ERA

playing the percentages here

Jr 7 for 19 against him

[vaticanplum]

Man...the Cards are in trouble. Generally.

[edabbs44]

Olmedo was hitting .344 in AAA.
And Superman (Denorfia) is hitting in that range at last check, but my point is that Q is the PH of choice every night and tonight he isn't. A guy they brought up today b/c of injury is. Which proves that Q is completely useless and he is wasting a valuable roster spot. There is a pennant race going on and, especially in the NL, benches are huge. That's why I've been pushing for Deno to be up with the big boys for so long.

[GAC]

ain't gonna give him nothing to hit it looks like ;)

[reds44]

What the.........

[Reds Fanatic]

Lopez is caught stealing 2nd. 2 outs. Takes away the sac fly chance here.

[GAC]

STUPID STUPID decision by Lopez!!!!!

what the hell is he thinking?

[kyred14]

Idiotic baserunning. :rolleyes:

[RFS62]

man, that was very stupid

[westofyou]

but my point is that Q is the PH of choice every night and tonight he isn't.He'll get his sunshine moment just yet, don't fret.

[RFS62]

If we don't score here, lopez is gonna pay some big kangaroo court fines

[GAC]

Another "head up butt" moment by Lopez! Damn!

[Matt700wlw]

HELL of an at bat!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Junior walks. Great 9 pitch AB there.

[RFS62]

great ab by junior

[kyred14]

Bases should be loaded

[GAC]

and Jr draws a walk.

Which would have put Felipa at 2B.

[RFS62]

ok rich, make your uncle GAC proud of you

[redsrule2500]

Why is Narron gone? Did I miss something?????

[Matt700wlw]

That was a bad inning.

[RFS62]

drop and give me 50 felo

[Reds Fanatic]

Aurilia checks swings and pops out to 2nd. Cubs lead 3-2 after 6.

[Matt700wlw]

Why is Narron gone? Did I miss something?????

Daughter's graduation in NC

[TeamBoone]

I don't think it was wise of Felipe (or whomever) to steal with a guy on third and one out. I didn't like it.

[TheBigLebowski]

1st and 3rd w/no outs and we come away with nothing. Bad.

Good news is, the Cubs bully is very hittable.

[GAC]

It's gonna take several more beers to get rid of my lividness right now :all_cohol

[Kc61]

Third base coach cost run that inning. Held runner on single, then on fly ball. Definitely would have scored on fly ball to right by Phillips. Reds don't do well in that spot, in part because they are too conservative with man on third.

[kyred14]

There should be a rule that you don't steal with Jr. or Dunn at the plate. Especially w/ less than 2 outs

[CTA513]

If they were going to try and steal then they should have tryed a double steal. What a wasted inning.

[Reds Fanatic]

Chris Hammond in to pitch.

Blanco singles to left.

[kyred14]

EE would have got him ;)

[OnBaseMachine]

Whoever sent Lopez is just stupid! That is the dumbest play I have ever seen. Terrible!

Mark Berry needs to go! Olmedo could have scored easily on that flyout to right. Any other time the windmill sends everyone...

This will be a horrible loss if they do lose. Pure stupidity on the Reds part. First and third, 0 outs, and the heart of the order up, and they don't score. Sad.

Maddux is going for his 325th win, so I bet Dusty uses his best pitchers out of the bullpen tonight.

I agree with all of that.

I can't imagine anyone sent him.

[Reds Fanatic]

Murton flies out to center. 1 out.

[Red in Chicago]

doesn't he always have the green light?

We probably won't know until tommorrow; but I'd garner to say that Lopez made that decision on his own. Earlier in the season, Narron stated that those decisions he trusted to Lopez.

Maybe they shouldn't any more, because I've seen him make some bone head decisions this year.

Good news - Cards down 6-0 ;)

[OnBaseMachine]

I can't imagine anyone sent him.

If Lopez went on his own, then he should be fined. Just an incredibly stupid time to attempt a steal.

[GAC]

I can't imagine anyone sent him.

I sure as hell wouldn't admit to if I did! :lol:

[Reds Fanatic]

Womack lines a single to right. Just off the top of Phillips glove. 1st and 2nd.

[GAC]

Man! nice pitch by Hammond, but no call.

Maddox would have gotten that one. ;)

[Matt700wlw]

Oh, Lopey

[Reds Fanatic]

Pierre grounds into a 4-6 fielder's choice. Should have been a DP but Lopez's throw was high and way off the bag. 2 outs.

[Matt700wlw]

I can't imagine anyone sent him.

Probably why it looked so bad.

[OnBaseMachine]

Great. Now Lopez botches a doubleplay.

[GAC]

Felipe not having a good night - terrible throw.

Maybe he'll redeem himself in the 9th for us. ;)

[GAC]

Walker singles

4-2 now

[OnBaseMachine]

Thanks Felipe. You basically lost this one.

[Reds Fanatic]

Walker lines a single to center. 4-2 Cubs. Lopez costs us a run on defense and offense.

[Kc61]

Hammond's ERA headed back up to infinity.

Still annoyed that Berry didn't send Olmedo on the fly ball.

[reds44]

Thanks Felipe. You basically lost this one.
Cut him.

We have 2 runs.

[OnBaseMachine]

This team frustrates the hell out of me.

Stupid baserunners and horrible defense.

[GAC]

I bet alot of the RZers at the game for the Gathering are not happy campers right now. ;)

[CTA513]

Game Over.

[reds44]

Wow.

[OnBaseMachine]

Kearns drops a flyball.

SAD.

[Matt700wlw]

What the hell is going on?

This looks like the team that was floundering in May.

I hope it's only a 1 night thing......

[RFS62]

holy crap

[Reds Fanatic]

Oh no. Kearns loses the ball in the lights. He landed bad in right hopefully did not hurt himself. 6-2 Cubs.

[GAC]

O Geez!

6-2 and I'm gone.

I'd rather watch my comedies on TV! :lol:

[Matt700wlw]

Now he's hurt.

He's ok...nevermind. He's staying in the game.

[westofyou]

Well they ain't the Globetrotters.

[CTA513]

So will the Reds start playing like the did last month?

[George Foster]

Lets just hope it's one of those "I hurt my pride issue"
