"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
The sad thing is that Gomes actually has a nice swing. If he could make the necessary adjustments mentally he would be fine.
Just confused as to why he doesn't watch Edmonds/Votto/Rolen the last two nights and let it sink in.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
LOL.
Actually, he wasn't as before my time as I originally though after looking up his stats. I was born in 1987 and he played until '97, so he was around while I was growing up. But I didn't become the rabid fanboy I am now until about 2000, which is probably why I only vaguely remember him.

You poor thing. You've known nothing but pain as far as the Reds are concerned.

So very true. Those that call him a bad baseball player, in my opinion, don't pay close enough attention to him as a hitter. The problem is that he goes up there with a Men's over-40 softball approach, which leads to so many strikeouts and pop-ups. But if he really settled down and started going with the pitch, he could actually be a very good hitter. He does have a nice swing and decent bat speed. He just likes the thought of cranking those mammoth softball homers.

Thanks for making me feel just a bit older tonight.

For the most part, yes. I've got some vague memories of watching the 1995 playoffs with my dad but I was only 8 and I really wasn't all that into baseball yet anyway.
That's why this season is just Nirvana to me.

Cards down 5-2 in the 7th, if anyone's interested.

I don't know the answer, but great question. Obviously Joey is one.
