Pete Rose was just temporarily reinstated, homered, then rebanned.

 

Then Billy Hatcher did it without a corked bat.

hal morris (rocket's homey) inside the park hr

chris sabo just went yard

 

without his goggles on, actually (needed a challenge).

paul o'neill just hit a homerun and smashed the water cooler

[erik316wttn]

Kal Daniels just hit one clear out of the park.

Maybe we can repay them for the five run lead we blew while Z was pitching last year.

[abuck1220]

I wonder if he even knows about Lieber's splits. How could you start him against a team whose best 3 hitters are all lefthanded?

 

Especially when you consider the ridiculous juggling he did to have the Brewers not face lefties and all that.

 

I wouldn't want Hill, Lilly, or Marshall to face the Brewers. They hammer left-handed pitching.

 

and jason marquis.

Why is Fontenot the first guy off the bench for us? There are much better hitters on the bench

 

He's an on-base buy more than a power guy, and you'd use your on-base guy in the early we need baserunners situation.

Kal Daniels just hit one clear out of the park.

 

And tripped rounding every base.

[VanceJergins]

Who wants to bet that Fontenot stays in the game to replace Cedeno?

I'm just happy Lieber is done.

[AlwaysaCub]

Lol at the Phil Norton reference by Len.

[illiniguy]

But, Corey Patterson still struck out twice.

Fontenot has been swinging a pretty hot stick this season.

[SouthSideRyan]

But, Corey Patterson still struck out twice.

 

I'd much rather he beat us than anyone else on the Reds.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Edd Roush decided to be sporting and hit a ground-rule double.

[C.C.]

Our 4th straight series loss.

marge schott just conducted a very detailed seance and summoned joseph goebbels from the dead. He hit a homerun, gave a funny look to jason marquis and then went back to hell

[cheapseats]

Check out Lieber's career platoon splits:

What David said is right. It's dumb to start him against a team whose best hitters are left-handed.

Pokey Reese dinger

[abuck1220]

anxiously awaiting hill being blamed for this. after all, he couldn't get his act together so lieber, bless his heart, had to step in and do something he wasn't used to doing. can you blame him?

5 star post hahahah

[Outshined_One]

What a surprise, Joey Votto and Adam Dunn have HRs.

 

...as do Paul Bako and Jerry Hairston Jr.

 

Guh.

[illiniguy]

Our 4th straight series loss.

This is what happens if you aren't the Cardinals and you lose your second best pitcher. Most teams have that happen as a result of injury, we did it to ourselves.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

good job not walking anyone, Liebs =D>
