    Solid prediction. Nothing more fearsome than a lead.

    Then when the Reds go back up ahead again, they will give up a 5 spot.

    This manager makes moves that seem random. I'm liking him less and less.
    I think Valentin is Ortiz personal catcher since they both are Spanish speaking. The logic is better communication.

    I want a follow-up article on those "true-believers" like Casey and Dunn after the Milton signing. Where are they now?

    To be honest, this whole series has been ugly. We lost a 4-3 game that we should have won. We blew a 4 run lead in the 7th inning in the second game and now this. Changes in the lineup need to be made, but what do you do with the pitching? This is just a mess.

    doesn't seem like a one run loss is in the cards.

    Does one finger and two fingers mean something different in Spanish?

    Don't expect that to happen anytime soon. Miley refuses to change the lineup..no matter how bad it's slumping.

    Considering how Ortiz is pitching, the finger I'm thinking of means the same in every language.

    It's looking like the only thing worth watching this summer will be Dunn making a push for 50 homers.

    I'm betting they would sy "that we aren't playing very well right now, but that we have alot of players with a history of productioon, so we will improve".
