Woo Hoo Braun whiffs. Sweep of the Brew Crew.
Woo Hoo Braun whiffs. Sweep of the Brew Crew.
I never thought the Reds would win 4 in a row again this season. Wow.
Love the Brewer announcers: Does Cordero dare throw Braun the slider?
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
A sweep? I just fell out of my chair...
YAY! I finally get to be IN the game thread when the guys beat the Brewers, LOL
Good job guys!
"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
The tough question on Burton is going to be whether to keep him at what he'll cost. If he can pitch like this, or as well as his best last year, then he's probably worth offering arb. I've no doubt he'll pitch well again; the issue's going to be the cost. We can hope he pitches so well the rest of the way that the decision's easy. We could have some real power arms next year in Coco, Masset, Fisher, and Burton. Add Rhodes, Danny, and one other and that part of the team would be strong and essentially in place.
Final Cincinnati 8, Milwaukee 5
We all love a good ending
