5-29-10 Astros @ Reds (still no Votto)

[CarolinaRedleg]

Since nobody else seems to want to, here's the lineup and stuff, per JFay.

Votto is still out of the lineup.

Cabrera 6

Cairo 3

Phillips 4

Rolen 5

Bruce 9

Gomes 7

Stubbs 8

Hernandez 2

Harang 1

vs. RHP Brian Moehler (0-1, 4.42)

[WebScorpion]

Let's hope Harang gets healthy against the Astros offense and Votto comes back for the St. Louis series. :pray:

[Degenerate39]

Cards vs Cubs today. 4-0 Cubs after 7 and a half. Silva is mowing the Cards down today

11 k's for Silva so far. I hate to admit it but the Cubs had a great trade dealing Milton Brady to Seatle for Carlos Silva.

Edit: and the Cards lose! 1.5 games ahead of the Cards now and a win tonight would put the Reds 2 games up

[GAC]

Listening to an interview with Hanigan. He's hoping it will be no more then 2-3 weeks.

UPDATE: Cards lost to Cubs 5-0 today!!!

[Ron Madden]

Stars and Stripes caps tonight. :thumbup:

[nate]

Chat is open!

[redsmetz]

GAC, nice touch on the line-ups. Very classy.

[VR]

Keels seems like he should be at bridge game or a book club meeting somewhere.

[Ron Madden]

I thought they were going to wear the Stars and Stripes this weekend.

[RedsMan3203]

Pence put a charge into it, but 1-2-3 quick clean inning for Harang.

[VR]

sheesh, thought Pence got one into the tradewinds again to RC.

Uno, dos, tres in the 1st...11 pitches

[Ron Madden]

I have a feeling that Jay Bruce is going to have a big game.

[VR]

I have a feeling that Jay Bruce is going to have a big game.

I was thinking the same. It's as good as done.

[RedsMan3203]

Moehler only supposed to go 3 or 4 innings tonight. Reds will be in the pen before you know it....

[VR]

joint is close to full tonight vs. last place stros. Nice.

[Tony Cloninger]

You know after all these big scoring games...this pitcher....will probably shut them down. Don't know why I think that.....but he is almost like a LH throwing slop type and the Reds do not do too good with those.

[RedsMan3203]

OCab ground out to 1st
Cario Walked
Phillips Fly out to Right
Rolen Fly out to Right.

0-0 After 1

[VR]

Poor tag attempt by Cabrera, Lee leads off w/ the double.

No reason to pitch to Berkman here.

[RedsMan3203]

Lee with a lead off double to Right, bad tag at 2nd base by OCab.

Should of had him.

[Ron Madden]

Poor tag attempt by Cabrera, Lee leads off w/ the double.

No reason to pitch to Berkman here.


He has 7 HR's off of Harang.

[VR]

You know after all these big scoring games...this pitcher....will probably shut them down. Don't know why I think that.....but he is almost like a LH throwing slop type and the Reds do not do too good with those.

2000-2009, I agree w/ you completely.

2010, not so much.

:thisyear:

[Raisor]

Good grief. How is Scuffy Moeller still pitching? I think he got started around the time Dave Henderson came into the majors.

[Ron Madden]

Bad night for OCab.

[RedsMan3203]

OCab drops the flip from Phillips, there went a double play.

[VR]

3 outs given away this inning so far by Cabrera.

[CTA513]

Cabrera not helping the Reds this inning.

[RedsMan3203]

Slow roller to 3rd, Rolen's only play was to get the guy at 1st.

[Tony Cloninger]

So its gonna be one of those games huh? :rolleyes:

[VR]

Not sure why you don't just walk Cash.

Moeller is one of the worst hitting pitchers in history.

[_Sir_Charles_]

3 outs given away this inning so far by Cabrera.

*sigh* Yep. Bad tag and dropped dp ball. Frustrating. If I were Aaron, I'd be pissed.

[nate]

*sigh* Yep. Bad tag and dropped dp ball. Frustrating. If I were Aaron, I'd be pissed.

I'm not Aaron and I'm pissed!

:cool:

[RedsMan3203]

Razor picks Berkman off 3rd!

[_Sir_Charles_]

I think Berkman was safe back at third.

But it was a heads up play regardless.

[oneupper]

I think Berkman was safe back at third.

me too. But I'll take it.

[Ron Madden]

Should have been out of the inning with no runs scored.

[_Sir_Charles_]

K to end it.

[RedsMan3203]

Harang gets out of.

Jay Johnny and Stubby due up.

[VR]

Looks like he was safe, but Rolen puts the good tag on it.

Harang does not have 'it' tonight....stuff isn't fooling anyone so far.

[Degenerate39]

Looks like he was safe, but Rolen puts the good tag on it.

Harang does not have 'it' tonight....stuff isn't fooling anyone so far.

I'd say O.Cab doesn't have 'it' in the field today

[CTA513]

Bunch of extra pitches has Harangs pitch count up to 38

[Tornon]

What was Moehler doing showing bunt on that play Berkman got picked off? Seemed to be his fault Berkman got picked off

[VR]

I'd say O.Cab doesn't have 'it' in the field today

nor will he 'ever' :)

[VR]

What was Moehler doing showing bunt on that play Berkman got picked off? Seemed to be his fault Berkman got picked off

looked like a safety squeeze

[RedsMan3203]

Brrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!

[_Sir_Charles_]

On the replay, Berkman clearly safe back at third.

GOOD BYE! :jump: BRUUUUUUUCE!

[VR]

I'm done w/ Keels.

Nonfat plain yogurt.

[Degenerate39]

I have a feeling that Jay Bruce is going to have a big game.

You are correct sir

[oneupper]

I'm done w/ Keels.

Nonfat plain yogurt.

I agree. And he's always mixing up the players. Once or twice, Ok. But it's way too often.

Gets to me. I'm gonna listen to the Astros guys.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Gomes got all of that one. hehe. tapper back to the pitcher.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I agree. And he's always mixing up the players. Once or twice, Ok. But it's way too often.

Gets to me. I'm gonna listen to the Astros guys.

Just to warn you...they're pretty painful.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs triples off the wall in left center.

[_Sir_Charles_]

MAN! He has got SOME WHEELS! Love watching Drew motor!

[RedsMan3203]

That is why Drew Stubbs is our starting Center Fielder... Guy can flat run.

[VR]

Stubss w/ a triple. He hit a gear rounding 2nd that you very rarely see. Wow.

[Tony Cloninger]

Why Stubbs does not bunt more is puzzling beacuse of said speed.

Keels is still not as annoying as Grande....and that is sad to say.

[dougdirt]

Why Stubbs does not bunt more is puzzling beacuse of said speed.

Keels is still not as annoying as Grande....and that is sad to say.

Because he is a poor bunter. The guy can hit the baseball 450 feet on any swing. Guys like that, regardless of their speed, aren't often taught to bunt the ball.

[_Sir_Charles_]

What?!? Hanigan's got a broken thumb? Miller called up. Missed that completely.

[Reds Fanatic]

What?!? Hanigan's got a broken thumb? Miller called up. Missed that completely.Yeah broke it sliding into 2nd last night.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hernandez singles to center. 2-1 Reds!

[Tony Cloninger]

That is not Corky Miller....that is Harry Reems.

Can he not be taught to bunt? I am not looking for Rod Carew here....but I am sure he can be taught this.

[VR]

What?!? Hanigan's got a broken thumb? Miller called up. Missed that completely.

Where have you been? Are you really a Reds fan?

Razor ribeye.

[VR]

Stubbs was out if Moeller snags that.

[VR]

That is not Corky Miller....that is Harry Reems.

Can he not be taught to bunt? I am not looking for Rod Carew here....but I am sure he can be taught this.

Watching Carew bunt was like listening to classical music. Smoooooth.

[Reds Fanatic]

Harang bunts into a 2-6-3 DP. 2-1 Reds after 2.

[Tony Cloninger]

Harang would have been better off to NOT offer at any pitch that AB. He did not throw him any real strikes.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Where have you been? Are you really a Reds fan?

Razor ribeye.

Missed the first half of the game yesterday...and there was no mention of it in the game thread.

Sucks.

[oneupper]

Harang bunts into a 2-6-3 DP. 2-1 Reds after 2.

So much for bunting to avoid the DP.
The Astros guys were saying that Harang should have pulled back and swung away, because they were charging hard.
Dusty has to do that once in a while. Last year they did and it kept the infielders honest.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bourn pops out to 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice catch by Gomes on a line drive by Keppinger.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pence singles to right.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Wow! Great snag by Gomes.

[GoReds]

Dickerson not a great interview, but still easier to listen to than Keels.

[oneupper]

Astros announcers were saying how deep Gomes was playing (making fun of it).

Then Gomes makes that catch. It was hilarious.

They called him "the smartest player in baseball" :)

[_Sir_Charles_]

Astros announcers were saying how deep Gomes was playing (making fun of it).

Then Gomes makes that catch. It was hilarious.

They called him "the smartest player in baseball" :)

Yep, I'm still giggling about it. :O)

[Reds Fanatic]

Lee flies out to right. 2-1 Reds mid 3rd.

[JaxRed]

I thought the interview with Dickerson was great. He's obviously a good guy.

[VR]

Missed the first half of the game yesterday...and there was no mention of it in the game thread.

Sucks.

I don't think it was announced until this morning...I saw it on RZ. Sounds like it's the 'best case scenario'....circle fracture which heals the fastest.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cabrera leads off with a single to right.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I don't think it was announced until this morning...I saw it on RZ. Sounds like it's the 'best case scenario'....circle fracture which heals the fastest.

Thanks, I appreciate the update.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cabrera immediately steals 2nd. 8th steal of the year.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cairo is on fire. Doubles. 3-1 Reds!

[nate]

Migehrig, DOUBLE!

[Tony Cloninger]

Cairo says to Dusty...."Me...Bunt? Have you seen my hitting in the last 2 days?"

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit for Phillips. 1st and 2nd.

[VR]

This team hasn't done this for 11 years. And that is no exaggeration.

[CrackerJack]

I want a Cairo bobblehead

[KoryMac5]

I will never ever use Cairo's name in vain.

[CTA513]

Cairo letting Votto know that hes now the starter at 1st.

:D

[Ron Madden]

I thought the interview with Dickerson was great. He's obviously a good guy.

Agreed.

[VR]

"Chief Big Fist"

Rolen's nickname. I like it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen lines a single to left center. 4-1 Reds! 1st and 3rd.

[RedsMan3203]

Time for some add on!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Cairo letting Votto know that hes now the starter at 1st.

:D

Does this mean Alonso is available due to the overabundance of 1b-men?:D

[corkedbat]

Agreed.

CD's a hoot! :D

[TheNext44]

Trade Votto and Alonso. Cairo needs to play everyday for years..

[_Sir_Charles_]

4-1 Reds btw

[Reds Fanatic]

Dickerson has been great. He can become the 3rd man in the booth during his DL.

[RedsMan3203]

Brrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce homers again!!!! 7-1 Reds!!

[RedsMan3203]

:jump: :jump: :jump:

[_Sir_Charles_]

Did I say 4-1? :jump: Bruce 3 run shot! 7-1. I love this team!!!!

[TheBurn]

WOW... these guys are goood :clap:

[Ron Madden]

I love Jay Bruce.

[Reds Fanatic]

Curtain call for Bruce.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gomes fouls out to 1st.

[Tony Cloninger]

Well I was almost right. :beerme:

[_Sir_Charles_]

nice catch by Berkman

[Razor Shines]

Bruce killed the rally

[RedsBaron]

I have a feeling that Jay Bruce is going to have a big game.

:notworthy

[_Sir_Charles_]

A win tonight doubles our first place lead. Cards lost earlier.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs grounds out to short.

[VR]

Hanigan's nick is....."Ryan Utley"

[TheNext44]

Dickerson has been great. He can become the 3rd man in the booth during his DL.

Forget left field. He best in the booth.

[RedsMan3203]

Razzzzzzzzzzzzzzzor!!!!!!!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Hernandez homers to left!!! 8-1 Reds!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Hanigan's nick is....."Ryan Utley"

Bite your tongue. It's Manigan.


DINGER RAZOR! :jump:

[GoReds]

What is up with this team?!?!?

[VR]

CDick sounds like the Reds biggest fan. It is very cool to hear how jacked up he is about every single player on this team.

Ramon....1st of the year.

CDick is a natural in there. Very cool.

[oneupper]

Is Brian Moehler the Astros' Joe Mays?

[VR]

CDick...."they are scoring a lot of runs w/ me in the booth...am I going to have stay in here for the 4th?"

Harang......lol

[Reds Fanatic]

Harang singles to center. The hit parade continues.

[_Sir_Charles_]

What is up with this team?!?!?

Well, firstly they're playing well. Secondly, they're playing the Astros.

See...even Harang hits off the Lastros. :D

[Ron Madden]

Hernandez!!!!

Dickerson better stay in the tv booth the rest of the game.

[RedsMan3203]

Harang joins the fun.... Reds bat around for the 5th time in how many games? 3?

[corkedbat]

So which do you prefer? Miguel Pipp or Wally Cairo? :D

[Reds Fanatic]

10 hits already in the 3rd inning.

[TheNext44]

Playing in the central with the Astros and Pirates gives any team a real advantage for the wild card.

[durl]

Keels calls a multi-run homer with the exact same enthusiasm as a walk. Geez.

[oneupper]

Playing in the central with the Astros and Pirates gives any team a real advantage for the wild card.

Its about time. The eastern division always had the Nats to beat up on.

[nate]

Dickerson is fun to listen to!

[OUReds]

This team hasn't done this for 11 years. And that is no exaggeration.

I know it's too early to really say this, but it certainly feels like it did back in April 1990.

[redsmetz]

Harang singles to center. The hit parade continues.

A couple of Reds fans sing "the beat goes on"

http://blog.tilos.hu/malestripshow/683.jpg

[redsmetz]

And what's up with Harang? When did he figure out how to use a bat?

[Reds Fanatic]

Fulchino in to pitch.

Cabrera grounds into a 6-4 FC. 8-1 Reds after 3.

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

Keels calls a multi-run homer with the exact same enthusiasm as a walk. Geez.

He sounds the same way on Ohio State radio. They could return the opening kickoff against Michigan 101 yards for a TD and Keels musters all the excitement of someone phoning in a pizza delivery order :thumbdown

[Reds Fanatic]

Berkman grounds out to 2nd.

[Tony Cloninger]

He sounds like Ted baxter. Can you imagine him on a first date?

[Reds Fanatic]

Blum grounds out to 2nd. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Manzella doubles to left.

[durl]

He sounds the same way on Ohio State radio. They could return the opening kickoff against Michigan 101 yards for a TD and Keels musters all the excitement of someone phoning in a pizza delivery order :thumbdown

Sutton hits his first ever grand slam last night and the play call was terrible. I'm not saying the guy has to scream with excitement like a teenage girl seeing the Jonas Brothers, but he should at least act like he's interested in the game.

(Yes, tonight's running gag is to come up with analogies for Keels' play-by-play.)

[pedro]

I don't mind keels so much. With so many of the reds other announcers trying to be "personalities" it seems to provide a nice counter point.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cash pops out to 2nd. 8-1 Reds mid 4th.

[Tornon]

Anybody else notice Harang throw that 0-1 pitch to Cash out of the windup with Manzella on 2nd & Manzella didn't take 3rd?

[pedro]

At least Keels is always talking about the game and not rambling on some personal tangent.

[membengal]

I don't mind keels so much. With so many of the reds other announcers trying to be "personalities" it seems to provide a nice counter point.

Hey, I am not alone. Thought I was the only one who was okay with Keels. I like how he calls PBP. And I think he does a nice job at trying to get the analysts with him to, well, analyze.

[BCubb2003]

I don't mind keels so much. With so many of the reds other announcers trying to be "personalities" it seems to provide a nice counter point.

I like a neutral canvas, too.

[nate]

Migehrig does it again!

[RedsMan3203]

:confused:

What is going on here?

[Reds Fanatic]

What is up with Cairo. Cairo homers to left! 9-1 Reds.

[mth123]

Cairo unbelievable.

[durl]

What is the dang DEAL with these Reds??? This is pretty much the exact same team that hit .220 in April, right?

[Tony Cloninger]

Is this really happening?

[corkedbat]

Miggie with the Biggie!

[CTA513]

Votto will have to beat up Cairo if he wants his job back.

[RedsMan3203]

Speaking of Votto, any seen him on the Bench tonight?

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips flies out to the warning track in center.

[durl]

Cairo plays 3B, too, right?

[GoReds]

Votto is on the bench. Looked like he was turning his head side-to-side, trying to work out a kink.

[pedro]

Hey, I am not alone. Thought I was the only one who was okay with Keels. I like how he calls PBP. And I think he does a nice job at trying to get the analysts with him to, well, analyze.

Totally agree.

[RedsMan3203]

Uncle!

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen strikes out swinging.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce flies out to left. 9-1 Reds after 4.

[durl]

Bruce can't do 3 HR in a row...the slacker. :)

[Tony Cloninger]

Halladay with a 5 inning perfect game. Would love to see that tonight and then one by Leake on Sunday. getting greedier and greedier by the day.

[CTA513]

Bruce can't do 3 HR in a row...the slacker. :)

His 3rd homer should be an inside the park homer instead of doing it the easy way by hitting it over the fence.

[Buckeye33]

Bruce with the catch in center... errr Stubbs - Paul Keels

[_Sir_Charles_]

Personally, I just want the Astros to get out of town as quick as possible. Carlos Lee is right on the verge of busting out IMO.

[Reds Fanatic]

Sullivan pinch hits and lines out to center.

[Ron Madden]

I don't mind keels so much. With so many of the reds other announcers trying to be "personalities" it seems to provide a nice counter point.

I agree. At least he talks about the team and the game instead of going on and on about Jeff Brantley's eating habits.

[_Sir_Charles_]

All this talk of Keels and I've yet to hear the guy. My suggestion....*MUTE*....tune to Marty.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Just showed Votto in the Dugout.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice catch by Rolen.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Rolen flashing the leather!

[Degenerate39]

Halladay with a 5 inning perfect game. Would love to see that tonight and then one by Leake on Sunday. getting greedier and greedier by the day.

Halladay's on my fantasy team. If you've jinxed it I will personnally hunt you down!

[Reds Fanatic]

Keppinger grounds out to short. 9-1 Reds mid 5th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Halladay now perfect through 6.

[VR]

Harang pitching like a pitcher with an 8 run lead now.....little effort, throwing strikes, letting his D make outs.

His stuff isn't there, but his control is enabling him to get the job done.

[Degenerate39]

Halladay now perfect through 6.

Keep it down! Cant jinx it

[Reds Fanatic]

Gomes flies out to center.

[RedsMan3203]

Stubbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbby! :jump:

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs homers to center!!! 10-1 Reds!

[_Sir_Charles_]

:jump: Stubbs! Woo Hoo! Needs the double and single for the cycle.

5 dingers tonight!

[VR]

Stubbs has the tough part of the cycle behind him.

[CTA513]

I wonder if Cash will get to pitch again today or if another position player will.

[kaldaniels]

I hope someone doesn't get plunked and injured.

[RedsMan3203]

Razzzzzzzzzzzzor Again! :jump:

[Reds Fanatic]

Hernandez with his 2nd homer of the game. Wow. 11-1 Reds!

[_Sir_Charles_]

:jump: Razor! This is batting practice!

[VR]

.826 ops in May for Stubby, .718 for the year. BA up to .230

[Ron Madden]

Stubbs has the tough part of the cycle behind him.

Yes he does.


WOW, Hernandez again!!!!

[CTA513]

I hope someone doesn't get plunked and injured.

If they decide to plunk a Reds player then Harang or another pitcher should go after Berkman, Lee or Pence.

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds combined score the last 2 nights now 26-7.

[CrackerJack]

The Reds cut holes in their paddles again, poor Astros.

[Reds Fanatic]

Harang strikes out swinging.

[mth123]

Batting practice tonight. Good to hit like this the last two days in front of the big crowds. Could boost attendance next time the Reds are in town.

[_Sir_Charles_]

There was the Aaron swing we all remember. hehe.

[RedsMan3203]

Reds combined score the last 2 nights now 26-7.

Thats going to help the RS vs RA and the old pythag thingy.

[durl]

See how the Reds do when you get more than 15,000 in the stands?

[Reds Fanatic]

Cabrera lines out to right. 11-1 Reds after 5.

[corkedbat]

I like the way OCab goes with a pitch to right

[_Sir_Charles_]

What's Aaron's pitch count at? CG?

[VR]

Reds run differential now tied with the Cards (+35). Seems like they were about 60 behind them a month ago.

[Ron Madden]

Thats going to help the RS vs RA and the old pythag thingy.

Until Dusty brings Mike Lincoln into the game. ;)

[CTA513]

What's Aaron's pitch count at? CG?

84 pitches, so probably 1 or 2 more innings depending on how he pitches in the 6th.

[Reds Fanatic]

What's Aaron's pitch count at? CG?

No he is already at 84 pitches

[_Sir_Charles_]

Thanks.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pence singles to center.

[RedsMan3203]

Until Dusty brings Mike Lincoln into the game. ;)

Keep running him out there in these type of games making him throw 3/4 innings a night... Maybe HIS arm will fall off and we won't have to worry about it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lee strikes out looking.

[Reds Fanatic]

Berkman strikes out swiging.

[RedsMan3203]

This is what good teams do to bad teams... Jump on them early and never quit.... I'm lovin' it!

[mbgrayson]

After 6 innings, Reds 11, Astros 1.

Harang at 100 pitches.

[Reds Fanatic]

Blum fouls out to Hernandez. 11-1 Reds mid 6th.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Solid 1-2-3 for Harangatang.

[Reds Fanatic]

Halladay perfect through 7. Went to 3 balls against last 2 batters but is still perfect.

[RedsMan3203]

After 6 innings, Reds 11, Astros 1.

Harang at 100 pitches.

He should be done. Lincoln and Fisher can clean this one up.

[_Sir_Charles_]

He should be done. Lincoln and Fisher can clean this one up.

I'd get Owings some work personally.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cairo lines out to short.

[Tony Cloninger]

Owings had work yesterday. Fisher needs an inning.....DH maybe 1 and then Owings...IMO.

You can't hunt me down.....this is the Internet. I am safe! :p:

[MississippiRed]

I'd get Owings some work personally.

Yes, who is up in the pen?

[RedsMan3203]

I'd get Owings some work personally.

Owings worked last night for an inning... He could use another day but I would want him locked and ready for St. Louis series...

[kaldaniels]

Don't overlook the nice outing by Harang.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips flies out to center.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Brandon was TICKED! He got a meatball and just missed it.

[Hoosier Red]

Looks like he was safe, but Rolen puts the good tag on it.

Harang does not have 'it' tonight....stuff isn't fooling anyone so far.

Not to pick on you VR but I wish we had a count of how many times somebody writes this in the first or second inning, and the starter's ERA after said proclamation.

Somebody said the same thing on Bronson the other night.

[mbgrayson]

I think we should get Janish some work on the mound. We need to show total superiority to Houston, including our position player pitcher.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen walks

[RedsMan3203]

Top 8 i'd like to see Janish come in to play SS, Cario to 3rd, Razor to 1st, Chris H to LF and Corky behind the plate.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce doubles to left. 2nd and 3rd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Top 8 i'd like to see Janish come in to play SS, Cario to 3rd, Razor to 1st, Chris H to LF

So no catcher at all. That could be fun to watch. :O)

[durl]

I think we should get Janish some work on the mound. We need to show total superiority to Houston, including our position player pitcher.

I still have the awful taste of that Atlanta blow-up in my brain.

Don't hold your breathe, I picked him up yesterday and started him on my fantasy team.

1st to 3rd on a double Mr. Keels? Interesting.

Maybe you went to Bar-B-Cutie?

by the way....after pulling two long dingers, Jay takes the next two to left. Good sign of a maturing ballplayer.

[RedsMan3203]

No one up in the pen.

Gomes strikes out swinging. 11-1 Reds after 6.

[durl]

Gomes K's. Eh...he can afford to slump tonight.

[durl]

Don't hold your breathe, I picked him up yesterday and started him on my fantasy team.

Thanks a lot, dude. ;)

[mbgrayson]

Someone has to leave a few hits in their bat for tomorrow....

[Reds Fanatic]

Halladay now perfect through 8.

[RedsMan3203]

Paul Janish now in playing SS for The Cincinnati Reds.

[Degenerate39]

Don't hold your breathe, I picked him up yesterday and started him on my fantasy team.

Same here. I'm dropping him probably lol

[VR]

last night....Bruce was the only starter to not have both a hit and a run scored. Tonight, 7 starters have done both....Gomes has done neither.
