[_Sir_Charles_]

Francisco hits a rocket to second that eats up the second baseman. Ruled an error. But regardless, 7-2.

Razor sac fly plates Bruce, 8-2.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Looking at Gameday & the small player photos....am I the only one who absolutely hates the off-center hat pictures? Phillips the past few years and now Francisco. It's like they're trying to be "gangsta" or some such nonsense. Just one of those little things that bother me I guess. :p:

Back to the game.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Cubs have released Carlos Silva apparently. Somewhat surprising.
Nyjer Morgan traded to Brewers for minor leaguer (Dykstra's son apparently)
Astros trade for Joe Inglett (Rays). PTBNL & cash

[_Sir_Charles_]

1-2-3 third for Carroll including one K.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Stubbs grounds out (broken bat) to first...nearly legs it out. 2 for 3 in the leadoff slot.
Renteria (2 for 2) draws the walk
Phillips (2 for 2) scalds one to first, but a diving catch makes it a GIDP

8-2 Reds after 3.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Top of 4th.
Carroll still pitching.

Nady K's swinging
Nice running snag at the wall by Stubbs on the deep drive from Montero
Roberts grounds out to 3rd. 1-2-3.

7 straight sat down by Carroll.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Bottom 4th

Rolen pop out to 2nd
Bruce K's
Gomes K's

Most of the reds bats are rolling along quite well at this point of spring. But Gomes & Rolen are struggling...badly.

With apologies ... How will Dykstra explain this to his father?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Krebs replaces Carroll.

Cooking late lunch, somebody might want to fill in for a bit.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Krebs gets 2 quick outs, then a single, triple, single later....8-4 Reds. Heading to bottom of 5th

[_Sir_Charles_]

Bottom 5. 8-4 Reds.

Shaw pitching for the DBacks

Francisco leads off with a single to center
Razor K's swinging
Jefry Sierra on deck? Who? Well, whoever he was...he K's swinging.
Denis Phipps PH'ing for Stubbs, draws the free pass. 1st & second, 2 down.
Janish PH'ing for Renteria. Paul grounds out to short to end the inning.

And with that, I'm out guys. Food is calling me. :O)

I hate the off center hat garbage as well. I'd like for MLB to crack down on this. The hat is a part of the uniform. There needs to be a compliance to a code here.

[klw]

Krebs gets 2 quick outs, then a single, triple, single later....

ahh only double and HR short of a Krebs cycle

The father should be the one worrying about explanations.

Astros trade for Joe Inglett (Rays). PTBNL & cash

Anyone have an idea on Inglett's chances of sticking w/ the Astro's big league club?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Anyone have an idea on Inglett's chances of sticking w/ the Astro's big league club?

I'd say VERY good. Especially with Clint Barmes out for a month or 2 with the broken hand. They weren't really deep to begin with.

[medford]

thanks, might have to get some tickets to the 'stros series the 2nd series of the year.
