Where's the motorized tarp when you need it??

That's So Taguchi!

Blanco's propensity for calling lots of breaking balls is not the best situation for a game like this.

Okay, I think I'll be watching the Simpsons and Family Guy for now.

Double posts are easy to avoid. Just click the submit button once and let the page load. Also, I don't like where this game is going.

Nothing but fastballs? What was that 0-2 pitch in the dirt, then?

There went that.

No pitch limit? Sweet, he can go 200 today if he wants.

Rats.

That's all I was going to request if your response was positive. Thank you.

Just out of curiosity, are you a Cards fan?

OBPRISP goes up a tick. :D

He also helped turn a 6-3 DP!

Harvey's leading the Midwest League in HRs and is creeping up on first place in RBIs. I'd like to see his K/BB and average improve, but the power's definitely there.

Welcome aboard! I think the "big" trade will probably be with a team that has not been extensively discussed. The Reds don't strike me as a team that wants to trade in-division and I think they might be well off if they unload Aurilia, LaRue, Milton, Ortiz, and Casey in terms of contracts. Add some depth to the farm system and have the cash to re-sign guys like Dunn and Kearns down the line. They should only sell off their top young guys if they get a big return on prospects.

Sounds like quite the fun game. I'd imagine the mound is absolutely horrible today.

Hm, I thought his start looked kinda familiar, especially now that I know he has asthma. Anyone else remember those days when Matt Clement would trot out to the mound, not have his best stuff, have some control issues, but still pitch well enough to keep the opposition held down, then come out before looking like he was going to drop dead on the field? Same thing with Jerome, imo. :D

Mateo with another solid outing. I'm curious to see how he progresses as the season goes on.

I like Gomes a lot and think he's next in line behind Adam Dunn in the, "Most misunderstood players in baseball" group. Also, Jason was a former pitcher. To have a better arm than him is quite impressive!

It sounds like the home plate ump is trying to make some trouble. Anyone care to explain for those of us who are unable to listen?

Wasn't that some random crap Paul Sullivan or Mike Kiley made up or suggested?

Been awhile since I could say it... DOPE SLAP!

What an ending!
