    And Prior strikes out the side - like I said, if he flips the switch the Reds are doomed until and if they get to the Cubs bullpen.

    Can they replace it with new stuff that isn't filled with food preservatives and alcohol residual?

    Sometimes I think I'd like an oil change.

    Most of the time I think a player needs about twenty at bats before I can get a reading on him against a certain pitcher.

    I like the juggle myself, sometimes it can work wonders. That sadi LaRue has been hot, has a history against Prior and he is fresh off watching Valentine hit the night before.

    It's a nice challenge Naron is giving him.

    Lee is swinging at the first pitch to get out of his funk, maybe Felo will take notice and try that himself.

    I'm sorry but these are the situations in which I think RBI's should be credited.

    Ron just called out Aramis and his lack of effort/concentration "does he want to play, geez" So now the cubs see why Pittsburgh was willing to trade him

    This is one reason I don't understand why the great and all knowing Dusty used Wood last night in a 9-0 game. Why pitch him there when you could use him in a closer game.

    Well, good for the Reds, cause if Prior can only go 7 then they don't have Wood to go the 8th.

    In a game that's defined by failure more than it is success, nothing "always" works- particularly hunches.

    If you want to find a guy who's letting statistics lie to him, check out your average MLB Manager. He wants them to lie to him. He needs it in fact, because then he'll have the tiny shreds of mistruth necessary to justify why his gut is vetoing his brain.
