  1. Lou Piniella's first two years. People seem to tend to disparage his tenure in Chicago due to his third season, but he was a really good manager for the first two. Piniella and co. took over before the 2007 season. I think a couple here have confused 2008 and 2009 for 2007 and 2008.
  2. Team record for a season, I assume? Yes, in a single season. Buckner has the record.
  3. Pretty damn close. Still not sure why Quade seems so wary about making Marshall the go-to setup man.
  4. Man, Pat had me convinced it was gonna go over the basket. So very close. Helluva day for Campana, though he messed up by not being on 3B right now.
  5. Ugh. This inning is not going to make me happy.
  6. What does speed have to do with this?
  7. Yeah, that was where I mixed up. That's when they were talking about Stubbs. Then right after that they were talking about Yonder being in LF.
  8. With help from the Cincy LF bouncing off the padding in left, just beyond the Cubs bullpen. Ball bounced off wall and rolled to fence, and the LF stumbled the whole way there. Yeah, Len described him as a "Soriano-esque leadoff hitter" when he had his AB in the top of the inning and said the Reds want him in the lineup for his bat but it's an "adventure" with him in the OF. Talk about an understatement. As bad as Soriano has screwed up that was just brutal. Len was talking about Drew Stubbs when he said that I believe. Nah, it was Alonso, because they were talking about they were trying to fit him into the lineup despite him not being an OF for his bat.
  9. Man, Campana looks like he's about 12 when he's at the plate.
  10. Colvin with 4 hits against Leake after that blast...all of them homers.

  12. For those not watching, Campana just hit a 2-run inside the park HR. And now Aramis doubles. No outs.
  13. Hahahahahaah! Holy [expletive], that was hilarious.
  14. My impression is that Barney has not had much time off this year since he took over the starting role. He's played in every game since the ASG and started all but one, plus he's struggled at the plate since the break. I don't have a problem with him sitting, and at this stage in the game there's no reason to worry about forfeit lineups. Although it would be nice to prevent Dusty's Reds from overtaking Pittsburgh for 4th place. Yeah, good point. Plus DeWitt's actually had a decent (for him) last couple of weeks, albeit in a very limited capacity.
