Griffey not in the Red's lineup. Murton pulled from ours. My mind is made up. Even if it doesn't happen, I'll just pretend that Floyd is griffey every time he comes to the plate.
Good. Murton is worth more than Ty, much more. Why would Tampa want Dan Wheeler? Are they in the playoff chase? Is Wheeler signed through next season? Maybe they think next year is their year to break out?
Can't really think anything else other than a trade just went down...barring an injury to Murton. That or Lou just wanted to see what our reaction would be :P
Not much weather wise today, FYI. Winds NE at 11 knots, clouds at 3500 feet, no rain in the area and it's forecast to be like that all night. For giggles, though. Here's the radar screen. http://www.srh.weather.gov/ridge/lite/NCR/ILN_loop.gif
Any weather updates? The site I get weather from says that the rain ended at 7:24, and the radar shows that the cell from earlier is almost completely out of the area. Game SHOULD be able to start soon.
Currently at Cincinnati (updated about 20 minutes ago, from cinci's airport) Winds gusting to 19 knots out of the southwest, broken clouds at 2000 feet, and light rain. Here's a pretty radar picture: http://www.srh.weather.gov/ridge/lite/NCR/ILN_loop.gif
Yeah, we do. I decided to check it after I posted that. As fun as it is to say "he just Haranged that pitch" after he gives up a home run, he has really developed into a great pitcher. I'm not too excited to face him.
God I hope we can take 2 of 3. These Reds scare me though. We really need to be patient, wear down the starter, and get into that disaster they call a bullpen. One of the reasons why I wish Murton were starting. Do we see Harang in this series? If so, please tell me he's matching up against Zambrano..
