    Ump clearly missed strike three call on Kepp. Replay showed he didn't go around. Cubs announcer said "Ooohhh.. Well, we will take it."

    EE did look back, albeit quickly. Had he looked back any longer Harden would've been safe. It took EE awhile to get to that ball. The throw only beat him by a step.

    Another person to blame is Cueto -- if he didn't fall off so much he would have been able to field it and EE could've stayed home.
    Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

    Yeah, I agree.

    Even the Cubbies announcers are laughing on that supposed swing by Kepp.

    They're saying "the Cubs will take it".

    Sense? Dusty Baker?



    Try nepotism. Or idiocy.

    Contender at home vs. Non-contender.

    Don't expect many calls to go the Reds' way.

    Reds might as well pack up and go home.

    I wondered the same thing. Remember that Hairston was lifted for a right-handed pinch-hitter in Jolbert Cabrera on Sunday, which I thought was an unusual move.

    the mistake was having Keppinger cover 2nd

    Re: Reds vs Cubs 8/19/08

    The Cubs announcers are talking about the Reds making (a proper) choice of giving up a run vs. the bases loaded and Sorriano coming up.

    I pretty much agree with them. Do the Reds have an offense to overcome a 1 run lead or a 3 run lead?

    Is it true that Chris Dickerson is related to Eric Dickerson?
