First game thread I've started this season. I hope it brings us another win!

[reds44]

I'm glad Javy is catching. Don't mess with what him and EZ have going.

[oneupper]

I'm glad Javy is catching. Don't mess with what him and EZ have going.


Yep..but he has to hit..right handed :eek:

[Heath]

Is Aurilia really hurt that bad - I didn't see a DL quickly like our other 3rd baseman. I guess veteran leadership begins in the infirmary :rolleyes:

[Heath]

Hey, I saw Tornon got ORG status - wonder if we can call him up to the ORG thread. He makes a mean PBP'er.

:D

[kyred14]

Yep..but he has to hit..right handed :eek:

When did Trachsel become a southpaw?

[Tornon]

I posted these numbers yesterday on the RL gamethread, posting them again in hopes of continuing this winning

This is how our lineup has performed on previous June 20ths:

FREEL: .500 (2 for 4) 0HR 0RBI
LOPEZ: .167 1HR 1 RBI
GRIFFEY: .300 5HR 15RBI
DUNN: .091 0HR 1RBI
KEARNS: .125 0HR 0RBI
HATTEBERG: .522 1HR 4RBI
PHILLIPS: .286 0HR 0RBI
VALENTIN: NEVER PLAYED
RAMIREZ: NEVER PLAYED

[KronoRed]

Good lineup.

[Tornon]

Hey, I saw Tornon got ORG status - wonder if we can call him up to the ORG thread. He makes a mean PBP'er.

:D

I would be glad to, but I've got plans tonight but I can probably do it tomorrow :)

[oneupper]

When did Trachsel become a southpaw?

My bad. I've got Glavine stuck in my head.

[Doc. Scott]

Is Aurilia really hurt that bad - I didn't see a DL quickly like our other 3rd baseman. I guess veteran leadership begins in the infirmary :rolleyes:

Without seeing the lineup, I would have guessed Castro at 3B if it wasn't going to be Aurilia. So I'm happy.

[Heath]

My bad. I've got Glavine stuck in my head.

And I've got Georgia on my mind! Play Ball!

[KronoRed]

No Rich + No Castro = Happy joy joy :D

[KronoRed]

First game thread I've started this season. I hope it brings us another win!
Careful, if you get a win they might start calling on you everyday, leads to injuries ;)

[oneupper]

Hey..it worked with Jr and the lineup cards.

[Gallen5862]

Welcome to the show Tornon.

[cumberlandreds]

Welcome to ORG Tornon! You are a good PBPer.

[cumberlandreds]

Careful, if you get a win they might start calling on you everyday, leads to injuries ;)

I can handle it. I'm on the juice. ;)

[cumberlandreds]

It would be good to see Ramirez have good start against a top flight opponent like the Mets. I'm cautiously optimistic that we might have a pretty good young starting pitcher in Ramirez.

[Doc. Scott]

I was jazzed that Elizardo had his best start to date against a decent-hitting (if impatient) club like Milwaukee. You wouldn't have been able to take it as seriously if it were, say, Pittsburgh or the Cubs.

[reds44]

Tonights lineup coutesy of Keith Hernandez

1. 3B #6
2. SS #2
3. CF #3
4. LF #44
5. RF #28
6. 1B #21, who is a sissy
7. 2B #4, who has a bad attitude and doesn't work hard
8. C #17
9. P #54

[membengal]

Btw, Marty made sure to ask after Aurilia on the pre-game with Narron. Not so much EE...

[Far East]

Is this lineup the correct blend of defense, speed, and power?

Especially if you substitute Ross behind the plate and Encarnacion for Hatteberg at first base. EE would probably be an upgrade over the Hat in all three:defense, speed, and power, even at an unfamiliar position.

[Gallen5862]

Has the game started yet? What did Narron say about RA and EE.

[reds44]

Freel what are you doing?

[RFS62]

DAMN!!!!

Note to Adam. That's how you round off a ball, crow hop and throw to a base.

What a freakin' rocket.

[Gallen5862]

what happened with Freel? I am not able to get the game so any pbp is appreciated.

[reds44]

1,2,3 inning

[reds44]

what happened with Freel? I am not able to get the game so any pbp is appreciated.
Thrown out at 2nd trying to stretch a single into a double.

[CTA513]

I guess the Reds must not have video of Milledge throwing out guys trying to take extra bases....

:dunno:

[MrCinatit]

DAMN!!!!
Note to Adam. That's how you round off a ball, crow hop and throw to a base.
What a freakin' rocket.

He musta had his eyes closed when Freel got thrown out :p:

[reds44]

"Dunn no Milledge"
maybe as a defender, but as a ballplayer Milledge can't hold Dunn's jock

[reds44]

leadoff double for Reyes

[oneupper]

Keith ripping on those "who didn't play the game"....

[cincyinco]

"Dunn no Milledge"
maybe as a defender, but as a ballplayer Milledge can't hold Dunn's jock

I dont know about that.. the kid may have some extra NY Hype, but I think he'll be a very good all around ball player.

[reds44]

Keith ripping on those "who didn't play the game"....
This guy is a moron.

[Matt700wlw]

Oh boy...this isn't good

[cincyinco]

The Lizard getting smacked around..

[CTA513]

Must be a reason he gave up on that ball...

:/

[reds44]

Back to back doubles

1-0 Muts

these anouncers contiue to suck

[reds44]

Man another nice play by BP

runner to 3rd, 1 out

[redsrule2500]

3-0 Mets, Homerun derby

[OnBaseMachine]

That's the Ramirez we all know and love...

[cincyinco]

OUCH.. 3 hits.. all for extra bases..

3 zip

[CTA513]

Already down 3-0.

:explode:

[reds44]

Oy, terrible 0-2 pitch

3-0

[Matt700wlw]

That's the Ramirez we all know and love...

Maybe last year. Not this year (up till now)

[cincyinco]

C'mon David Wright! I just need you to get 1 single hit to "beat the streak"..

[reds44]

Wright grounds out

[redsrule2500]

Every single ball was well hit that inning.

[reds44]

That's the Ramirez we all know and love...
Please OBM.

You have been expecting him to fail since his 1st start.

[Doc. Scott]

I went to ESPN.com expecting to find splits indicating that Ramirez had had major trouble in the first inning, but he hasn't really.

Well, it might come out that way now.

[reds44]

Ground out

Top 3
3-0 Mets

[reds44]

I went to ESPN.com expecting to find splits indicating that Ramirez had had major trouble in the first inning, but he hasn't really.

Well, it might come out that way now.
8 runs in 11 IP

[Falls City Beer]

When Ramirez corrects, it's going to be ugly.

[oneupper]

Oy, terrible 0-2 pitch

3-0


Terrible?...it was low and inside. Not even a strike.
Delgado golfed it out.

[reds44]

Terrible?...it was low and inside. Not even a strike.
Delgado golfed it out.
Yep I was wrong. You would be correct.

[reds44]

Look at Javy teaching EZ.

That is why he catches him.

[oneupper]

Keith: Dunn = Kingman.

[reds44]

Dunn grounds out
1 out

Ears doubles
1 out, 1 on

[reds44]

Keith hates BP, but he sure loves Milledge.

don't ask me

Hatte grounds out

[Strikes Out Looking]

Here's the deal with Hernandez:

He dyes his beard.
He asks people to help him move that he just met.
He had no idea who the second spitter was.
And the only reason he has a world championship ring is that John McNamara decided not to put in Dave Stapelton as a defensive replacement for a crippled Bill Buckner.

[reds44]

BP walks

2 on, 2 out

Javy up

[reds44]

:|

Milledge made that like twice as hard as it was/ should have been.

Mid 2

3-0 Muts

[CTA513]

Milledge does his best Edmonds impersonation.

[Heath]

Keith Hernandez = Ralph Kiner's drinking buddy.

I'm heading over to the Crane Pool forum (Mets forum to see how bad Hernandez sucks as a broadcaster)

[OnBaseMachine]

I hope the offense doesn't go to sleep again against a bad pitcher like Trachsel.

[Doc. Scott]

Keith Hernandez = Ralph Kiner's drinking buddy.

I'm heading over to the Crane Pool forum (Mets forum to see how bad Hernandez sucks as a broadcaster)

Oh, they probably think he's AWSOME!!!!111!1!!1!

[CTA513]

I was just checking out the Chattanooga & Carolina game and I see that Belisle is starting for Chattanooga tonight.

[reds44]

Nady lines out

1 out

[reds44]

Milledge flies out to Dunn
2 down

[Matt700wlw]

Jeremy Sowers to start against the Reds on Sunday

Oh, the irony.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Jeremy Sowers to start against the Reds on Sunday

Oh, the irony.

He'll go 7 innings and give up one run.

[OnBaseMachine]

Jeremy Sowers to start against the Reds on Sunday

Oh, the irony.

I would like to go ahead and congratulate Sowers on his first win because everyone knows the Reds can't hit rookies or soft tossing lefties, and Sowers is a combination of both. ;)

[reds44]

1,2,3 inning for EZ

Top 3-0 Mets

[cincyinco]

What a cruel joke in regards to Sowers...

Lindner should have ponied up and signed the kid... Sowers and the Reds are def. star crossed.

[reds44]

EZ Ks
Freel singles he is 2-2

[Heath]

Oh, they probably think he's AWSOME!!!!111!1!!1!

50/50 - but its 99.9% sure they hate the Yankees broadcasters.

[reds44]

Felipe flies out

2 out

[reds44]

Griffey flies out
Mid 3 3-0


Man this offesne drives me nuts

[oneupper]

Felipe flies out

2 out

Is it just me or Felipe's swing isn't as aggressive lately?

[MartyFan]

Who is winning?

[reds44]

Alright somebody needs to take over PBP, I have to keep up woth the Dayton boys in the ASG, and the Reds.

[Heath]

Who is winning?


Metropolitans 3-0

[MartyFan]

yuck!

[Big Klu]

I hate Keith Hernandez!

[RedsMan3203]

1st pitching swinging for dunn... and he walks back to the bench.

[OnBaseMachine]

Another first pitch out for Dunn. 33 straight PA's without a walk for him.

[RedsMan3203]

Kearns... Drives one to deep right.... Nady catches it on a jump in front of the wall... he wasn't robbed.. would of been a double if not caught.

[CrackerJack]

He got it! He got it!

[cincyinco]

Was that to the track? Kearns opposite field power.. I like it..

[RedsMan3203]

Was that to the track? Kearns opposite field power.. I like it..

Yes, to the track..

Another 5 feet.. and its a 3-1 game.

[RedsMan3203]

The Hatte flies out to Center....


Mid 4

Mets 3, Reds 0

[CTA513]

Kearns... Drives one to deep right.... Nady catches it on a jump in front of the wall... he wasn't robbed.. would of been a double if not caught.


Another Mets player taking tips from Edmonds.

:p:

[RedsMan3203]

Wright grounds out.

[oneupper]

Stever Traschel looking like Cy Young.

[RedsMan3203]

Jose, Javys brother singles to right.

1 on - 1 out.

[CTA513]

Stever Traschel looking like Cy Young.

The Reds have made a few pitchers look like that his year.

[Big Klu]

George, Bud Harrelson was not a great player!

[Falls City Beer]

They'll get to Trachsel. I say they jam the sacks in the 6th and break it open.

[RedsMan3203]

Nady - Grounds into a 5-4-3 double play.

Going into the 5th.

Mets 3 - Reds 0

[reds44]

Eilzardo has settled down nicely.

Now only if we would get some runs for him.

[RedsMan3203]

Brandon Phillips hits a line drive to right field that bounces OVER the wall for a ground rule double.

[reds44]

Bp!!

[RedsMan3203]

Javy up with Phillips on 2nd base.... Quickly goes up 2-0. Count now is full.....

Javy takes his "normal" upcut swing and smashes it high into right field.

Nady makes the catch - Phillips moves to 3rd.

1 out.

[RedsMan3203]

EZ grounds into a FC to 2nd... Phillips scores from 3rd.


Freel up.

3-1 Mets.

Nady makes the catch - Phillips moves to 3rd.

1 out.

Reds announcers made sure to comment on how nobody congradulated Valentin in the dugout for moving the runner over. I wonder if what Narron keeps on preaching is going through one hear and out the other.

[RedsMan3203]

Milledge is up... and he K's.. Ball gets loose... Javy throws him out at 1st.

1 down.

[RedsMan3203]

Trachsel works the count full....

Then... Hits a home run.

[OnBaseMachine]

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[RedsMan3203]

Reyes flies out to Jr in center.

[Matt700wlw]

You have to laugh...

It is rather funny. Sadly.

[CTA513]

The Reds finally get a run and now Ramirez gives it back with a homerun by the pitcher...

:thumbdown

[CTA513]

You have to laugh...

It is rather funny. Sadly.

Pretty sad that the Reds pitchers have given up 2 homeruns to pitchers in the past week.

:help:

[MrCinatit]

Other pitchers simply love our pitchers.

[pedro]

Marty really hates young players. Before the HR he called Ramirez "Ez" but he said it with such incredible contempt that it dripped on my keyboard.

[RedsMan3203]

Lo Duca flies out to AK in right....

Going into the 6th (our inning)

Mets 4 - Reds 1

[Heath]

Somewhere Bronson Arroyo laughs silently.

[Doc. Scott]

The Liz-ord giveth and the Liz-ord taketh away.

[Edskin]

After being exposed at length for the first time to Marty this year, I get the impression he pretty much hates everything that doesn't revolve 100% around Marty.

[Matt700wlw]

Marty really hates young players. Before the HR he called Ramirez "Ez" but he said it with such incredible contempt that it dripped on my keyboard.

He told E-Z to throw it over the plate.

So he did. :laugh:

[RedsMan3203]

Lopez grounds out to 3rd.

1 down.

[reds44]

So it's June.

When can we say the offense won't be ok?

[RedsMan3203]

Jr up... Jr rips one down the lineeee... Foul.. By 10 feet... says George....

Grounds out to 2nd at the Shortstop...

2 down.

[Matt700wlw]

So it's June.

When can we say the offense won't be ok?

July ;)

[RedsMan3203]

Dunner grounds out to 1st....


Mid 6

Mets 4 - Reds 1

[reds44]

Dunn hitting .190 in June

[RedsMan3203]

Dunn hitting .190 in June

What did he hit in May? :rolleyes:

[pedro]

Dunn hitting .190 in June


he started the month so well too.

[OnBaseMachine]

Dunn's OBP now down in the .360's. Man, I hope this isn't gonna be another 2003 for Dunn.

[pedro]

Marty giving a little props to EZ now.

[RedsMan3203]

Beltran up - Flies out to left.

[Matt700wlw]

Marty giving a little props to EZ now.

See...fair :)

[reds44]

What did he hit in May? :rolleyes:
.212

[pedro]

What did he hit in May? :rolleyes:

.212

he's struggling.

otoh, he's still leading the team in runs and RBI.

[RedsMan3203]

Delgado lines out to 1st.

[CTA513]

If they stopped swinging for the fences with every atbat they might be able to do something more than just 1 run.

:/

[reds44]

.212

he's struggling.

otoh, he's still leading the team in runs and RBI.
He does, but part of that is because EE and Griffey missed 2 weeks and a month respectfully.

[RedsMan3203]

Wright K's looking....

Going into the 7th...

Kearns, Hatte, Phillips due up.

Mets 4 - Reds 1

[pedro]

He does, but part of that is because EE and Griffey missed 2 weeks and a month respectfully.


RBI's yeah, but not runs. Dunn has twice as many runs as those guys and is still on pace for 121, which ain't shabby.

[reds44]

92 pitches for EZ thru 6 with the bottom of the order coming up. Unless he has to hit this inning, I leave him in.

[reds44]

RBI's yeah, but not runs. Dunn has twice as many runs as those guys and is still on pace for 121, which ain't shabby.
Yeah he is without a doubt going to lead the team in runs.

[oneupper]

Me too, but I hope he has to hit. (rallY).

[RedsMan3203]

1st p itching swriing lines it to right... a basehit....

Hattey up, Kearnsy on 1st, 0 outs.

[Tony Cloninger]

The lineup set up...these last 2 nights....has been pretty much what most people would want... yet still not enough to hit 2 average pitchers.

I did not expect Ramirez to throw another shutout.... just thought they would hit this pitcher better.

I overrated this offense.....i expected some lights out offense to just carry this team and hope for anything positive in the pitching.

[oneupper]

All 5 REDS hits tonight by righties.

[Heath]

Take out the first Inning and EZ had a great game.

Too bad for the first inning.

hard to evaluate the lineup construction when Dunn and Griffey are doing so poorly.

[RedsMan3203]

Well... After a couple mintues of wasted time... Hatte works the count full....

And Draws a Walk.

Kearns on 2nd, Hattey on 1st and Phillips at the Plate. 0 outs.

[pedro]

watch out! Steve's reading Moneyball.

[RedsMan3203]

The Pen is up for the Mets.... I believe thats a good sign for the Reds....

[Heath]

That's what I thought -

Trachsel is 8-4 with a sub 3 ERA against the Reds careerwise. Historically, the Reds are hitting .222 against him.

Figures.

[RedsMan3203]

I love the emotion Brnadon shows on the field.... He was SO upset after he fouled that last pitch off.

[Tony Cloninger]

CTA513.... i agree with you. That GAB is a nice ballpark to look at....but it seems to give these hitters bad habits...or they just flat out don't really care that they are doing it, but going for the fences more often than not..is going to cause thse slumps.

I can deal with Griffey and Dunn doing this..... but when i see Lopez or Freel..who IMO should be .300+ hitters and worried about getting on base, trying to do it, that just shows me that they are wasting their AB's.

[OnBaseMachine]

Another hit for Phillips.

[RedsMan3203]

Base hit for Phillips..


Kearns on 3rd, Hattey on 2nd, Phillips on 1st. 0 outs.


Javy up...

[RedsMan3203]

A call to the pen....

[reds44]

2B #4 with a single

bases loaded 0 out

[Kc61]

How on earth did Cleveland DFA Phillips?

[OnBaseMachine]

PH with Ross if the Mets are bringing a lefty in.

[RedsMan3203]

ChiSox up 3-1 on Stl.

With 2 on, and 1 out.

[CTA513]

The lineup set up...these last 2 nights....has been pretty much what most people would want... yet still not enough to hit 2 average pitchers.

The lineup could be doing better if guys would stop swinging for the fences all the time.

[Heath]

Ok, Javier a flyball to the subway platform in right and we'll all be happy, ok?

BTW - Bullpen should be fresh for the Reds. I'm guessing Heilman in for the Mets?

[Tony Cloninger]

Can they release Burns right now...and get Denorfia up here to PH for Harry Reems?

[Heath]

How on earth did Cleveland DFA Phillips?

Out of Options. More faith in Lou Merloni. Needed a change of scenery.

[oregonred]

ChiSox up 3-1 on Stl.

With 2 on, and 1 out.

NL continues to be the AL's whipping stick...

[RedsMan3203]

Javy up... And swings at the 1st pitch to foul it off....

Count draws even at 1-1.. Javy sends it high in the air to center... Kearns scores on the sac fly.... Hattey moves to 3rd... Phillips stays at 1st.

1 down... And Richy Aurrila will PH.

[Matt700wlw]

:explode: will be coming in for the Reds

[RedsMan3203]

NL continues to be the AL's whipping stick...


By the way.. ChiSox now up 7-1.

[reds44]

9-1 Sox!!!!

[Heath]

Whew - thought it might be power hitter extordinare Quentin McCracken.

Great, Aurilia's up :bang:

[oneupper]

Javy up... And swings at the 1st pitch to foul it off....

Count draws even at 1-1.. Javy sends it high in the air to center... Kearns scores on the sac fly.... Hattey moves to 3rd... Phillips stays at 1st.

1 down... And Richy Aurrila will PH.

Despite getting a run...Win expectancy down from 28.2% to 22.7% on that play.

[oregonred]

9-1 Sox!!!!

:laugh:

[RedsMan3203]

Richy Hits into a Casey play... Inning over...

Mid 7

Mets 4 - Reds 2.


THat was the inning....

[oneupper]

Aurilia is clutch

[OnBaseMachine]

Aurilia is awesome.

This offense is embarrassing.

[reds44]

Yay RA................

[CTA513]

Reds missed there chance.

:/

[reds44]

Why didn't he use Ross??

[pedro]

That was special.

Seems like the Reds are hitting into a ton of DP's this year.

[Heath]

What's that for Rich, 2 for his last 48?

Dear Jerry Narron,

Steal the pictures from Richie. He's too stupid to have the negatives.

[oneupper]

Reds missed there chance.

:/


Win expectancy down from 22.7% to 8.6% on DP.

[oregonred]

Someone wake up Lopez, KGJ and Dunn before the top of the 8th inning...

It's assumed Freel will find his way on base once again.

[CTA513]

Why didn't he use Ross??

Because Ross doesnt have enough service time?

[RedsMan3203]

Weathers walks into the game....


Here comes the wild train ride.....

[Heath]

Stormy Weathers to pitch the 7th - :dives:

[Matt700wlw]

Because Ross doesnt have enough service time?

Because Rich is a cleanup hitter?

:dunno:

[oneupper]

Why didn't he use Ross??


We have a ''professional"' PH in McCracken...

NY's closer is a lefty...

[Heath]

Because Ross doesnt have enough service time?

You never know when you need that third catcher.

[Strikes Out Looking]

I've said it many times lately, a monkey would make a better manager.

[Heath]

For a young guy, Lastings Milledge looks old - like Rickey Henderson old.

[CTA513]

That homerun by Traschel looks huge right now.

[Matt700wlw]

*sigh*

[RedsMan3203]

Jose, Javys kid brother walks....

[CTA513]

Game over.

[oneupper]

And why is Weathers in there?

We're losing

[RedsMan3203]

Nady lifts one deep into left... loooooooooooooong home run.....

Mets 6 - Reds 2

[Heath]

David Weathers' epitath -

"I gave to give others life"

:bang:

That was special.

Seems like the Reds are hitting into a ton of DP's this year.
More last year at this time.

Narron's man crush on RA makes me sick.

Rich=not very good

[Matt700wlw]

He can go too...

:thumbdown:

[reds44]

yay bullpen

[RedsMan3203]

And why is Weathers in there?

We're losing


Whats our winning % now?

[Edskin]

Not sure what else Narron can do-- he HAS to call one one of these guys-- and honestly, they are all TERRIBLE. Well, Coffey is average, the rest are beyond horrid-- just not sure what Narron can do about that.

[CTA513]

Its a good thing the Reds bring up guys like Burns and Standridge to pitch in blow outs. It wouldnt make any since at all to bring up someone who can pitch in close games... no since at all.

:bash:

[oneupper]

Game over.

Almost. Win expectancy 2.1%

[pedro]

diapers!

[Heath]

I'm sensing Kenny Mayne's Sports Center Call -

"I don't know what that pitch was, but it tastes like chicken".

[RedsMan3203]

Hey guys... I'm going to go finish watching the game by my self... Have a good evening.

[CTA513]

Reds are down by 4, might as well bring in mop up boys Standridge & Burns.

[oneupper]

Game's lost...why aren't Burns and Standridge in there?

[Matt700wlw]

I almost wish Danny Graves was back.

:help:

[schroomytunes]

WHY IN THE WORLD IS WEATHERS BRought in to face Nady, he is 2/3 against him with a homer. Once again poor management of the pitcher's, and as always a close game just got out of hand in a hurry thanks to our wonderful collection of bullpen stiffs:bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

[Matt700wlw]

That didn't hit him...it got the bat

[Heath]

ok, how this was our closer beats me.

I'm going to go get a coupon for Pedro so he can head over to Safeway and get some depends and a brochure on long-term care.

[Strikes Out Looking]

I almost wish Danny Graves was back.

:help:

He is, he just wears a mask and a different uniform every night.

[kbrake]

I agree that I dont know what Narron can do, this entire bullpen is terrible. It is going to be tough to win if we cant keep getting complete games like last night.

[Heath]

I almost wish Danny Graves was back.

:help:

Then the vicodin and jack daniels mixer wears off.....

[reds44]

The bullpen sucks.
So does Rich

[CTA513]

That didn't hit him...it got the bat

Its just another bad call that goes against the Reds.

[oneupper]

Weathers isn't ready yet. He should be rehabbing in L'villle.

[reds44]

Weathers need to go on the DL.

[Heath]

Where's Rich Garces when we need him.

[reds44]

Weathers isn't ready yet. He should be rehabbing in L'villle.
Yeah with Edwin.

"He just doesn't seem 100%".

Or we want RA playing more.

[RFS62]

I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.

[CTA513]

Its a good thing Weathers toughed it out and didnt go on the DL.

:thumbup:

[Matt700wlw]

:rant: :rant2: :censored:

I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.

The past 2 weeks would have been a good time to start drinking.

thanks, I won't be around very long at this rate.

[oneupper]

The ''seasoned veteran'' crap is making me sick. Play the kids...

[Heath]

Weathers need to go on the DL.

yep, that is what will happen. Something that should have happened a week ago (a la Claussen) that Reds Management once again allows the Player Ego over the team concept when it comes to pitching and making Griffey switch to Left.

I just looked at the 40-man - Shafer's not on the list.

[reds44]

I agree.

More like sucky veterans.

There are plenty sucky pitchers that can be DFA'd

[LINEDRIVER]

Weathers pitching is like throwing gasoline on a fire!!

[CTA513]

The kids just arent old enough, you have to be atleast 30 if you want to join this team.

[WVRedsFan]

The most amazing statistic? Weathers is still in there. Whatever happened to getting two guys ready at once, just in case? They've scored 4, he just walked another guy--and glory be! Narron has seen enough.

(shakes head).

[Matt700wlw]

Here comes the lefty specialist who isn't very special in getting out lefties, Kent Mercker.

[oneupper]

Win expectancy 0%. (No team from 1979-2004 ever came back from this situation).

[Heath]

David Weathers' new motto....

Mark Mulder is horrible - the 2006 version of Eric Milton.

His line tonight: 2.1 IP, 10 H, 9 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 6.09 ERA
