    Aurilia's one talent is that he'll hit a HR every two weeks or so. He won't hit behind a runner consistently (unless we count pop-ups). He won't regularly produce anything but Outs. And this is the guy the Reds are giving the second most Plate Appearances to.

    Oh joy.

    I fall asleep for 3 hours and look what goes on. Prior going for the Cubs on Tuesday too. I hate the Cubs.

    btw, Jeter just struck out looking with runners on 1st and 3rd and 2 outs. Jeff Brantley said he was trying to hard.

    I tried getting the hit chart at Reds.com to load, it wouldn't. I wanted to see if that may indeed be the case and I had been somehow overlooking Aurilia's ability to hit behind the runner. If he has been, I haven't noticed.

    Since he is one of DanO's favorites, we don't want to inflate his ERA now do we? The guy who could go more than one inning seems to have trouble doing that sometimes.Keepint that ERA at 2.70 proves Dan is right. Of course, he's given up 5 hits in his three plus innings and the opposition is batting .357 against him. I shudder to think what his ERA would be if they let him pitch more than an inning...

    BUMPED OUT - Louisville reliever Allan Simpson has been suspended for a minimum of five games for inappropriate conduct toward an umpire.

    The right-hander, acquired from Colorado in April for Jose Acevedo, began serving the suspension Sunday. The term could last longer than five games, with the exact punishment still to be determined.

    The incident occurred on the final play of the Bats' 9-8 loss at Charlotte on Saturday. With the bases loaded and the game tied at 8-8, Simpson threw a wild pitch that catcher Dane Sardinha tracked down and threw back to Simpson covering the plate. Charlotte's Roosevelt Brown slid in and was ruled safe by home plate umpire Brian Hale, providing the winning run.

    Simpson confronted Hale to argue the call and made contact.

    "I showed him that I tagged him," Simpson told the Louisville Courier-Journal. "And he backed up like I shoved the crap out of him. It was a bad call. I guess he had somewhere else better to be."
