A lefty for the Cubs, on getaway day, during a day game after a night game? I'm not excited to see the lineup today.
The Cubs have been hot at the plate this series, so Volquez has his work cut out for him. The Reds desperately need to get out of town with a win today. Six straight losses will make for a long plane ride home tonight.
Oh, and the Reds must hate this baby:
They are the ones who can end her suffering. It's up to you, Reds players. We don't like doing it, but it's necessary. Until you learn to win, this baby must pay the price.

Well, Reds fans..
..it looks like it’s us against the world. (Or at least Ted Lilly.)
And the world is not giving us much of a chance.
Let’s defy some odds, birds.

Y’know, we haven’t one much since we switched to “birds” as a preferred nomenclature. I think it’s time we go back. I think we start thinking lucky, bitches!

Lineup
Norris Hopper CF
Ryan Freel 2B
Ken Griffey RF
Adam Dunn LF
Jeff Keppinger SS
Edwin Encarnacion 3B
Joey Votto 1B
Paul Bako C
Edinson Volquez P
Dusty says BP needs a day off, plus he’s 0 for 13 against Lilly. Not sure why that means Hopper and Freel should bat 1-2, but whaddya gonna do?

yep
and about 15 balls got thrown back on to the field.
Al at Bleed Cubbie Blue made the point of how stupid the throwing of the balls on the field was because of the risk of forfeiture if the umps deemed it unsafe. Obviously it never even got close to that, but how could would that have been? I hope the Cubs fans do something that stupid again.

Something I've always wanted to do
Recreate that entire ensemble, headphones and all, and go to Wrigley and try to sit down somewhere. I wonder how many fights Cubs fans would try to start with me. I’d put the over/under at around 10. And take the over.

Did Anyone Else Hear Marty's Rant
About Cub Fans during the ball throwing incident? I thought he was dead on.
Find me on MySpace- http://www.myspace.com/mixfmkyle
Something Along the effects of
This (The Ball Throwing) is why so many people in the US cannot stand the Cubs or their fans and why so many believe the Cubs fans are the most obnoxious in the world.
He even said atleast the Red Sox or Yankee fans did not act like that to his knowledge.
He also said the Cubs are the Cubs and they will find a way to mess things up in the end and will not win the division this year.

Here's my fearless (and meaningless) prediction for today's game:
Edinson leaves tied or down a run after only four hits in six innings.

Cubbies lineup
Fontenot, 2B
Theriot, SS
Lee, 1B
Ramirez, 3B
Fukudome, RF
DeRosa, LF
Johnson, CF
Blanco, C
Lilly, P
Lee is locked in. Fukudome has been nothing but solid this season. DeRosa has hurt us, but he’s playing out of position in LF. The wind isn’t supposed to be as strong today, so maybe we can keep some of their hits in the park. Love to see Griffey get 596 though. A-Rod is closing fast.
Miguel Tejada used steroids, fountain of youth
Tejada announced today that he’s actually 33, two years older than previously believed. He wanted to come clean and tell the Astros face to face before they heard it from somewhere else, because that’s the kind of man he is. Presumably he wanted to tell the A’s and Orioles to go eat a bag of dicks.
Here’s the story. Off to check the Crawford Boxes to see what kind of buyer’s remorse they’ve got.
1) Ok, it's actually Crawfish Boxes
2) They mentioned it once and there was zero reaction. Absolutely none. Although they did point out that Miggy will be 34 in May.

The Tejada pickup is looking better for the Astros every day:

The Pirates have hired themselves one of them statheads
Dan Fox from Baseball Prospectus is going to work for them. I really wish JinAZ was being hired by the Reds instead of choosing to follow Scraontonicity around on their NE Pennsylvania tour. There is a rumor though that they have a stat guy somewhere in the organization, but I have no idea what kind of role he plays.

Also, I went to the Cincinnati Reds’ front office page to see if they had anyone listed who might be somewhat comparable to Chris Long. Sam Grossman came up as the Baseball Operations Analyst…anyone know anything about him and what he does? I might try asking some of the beat writers about him.

A sharper break
is better than a loopy one. A late break - but not too late - is good. Throw it for strikes early in the count and make the batter chase it in the dirt with two strikes.

a right handed bat
of some sort. I’d leave EdE alone for the time being
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
I think Ross comes off the DL, and Belisle and Hairston come up.
Coffey and Castro get the ax, plus someone else. Hopefully a catcher and hopefully not EdE.

LLM is going nowhere
he has the safest spot on the roster. he’s a legendary pinch hitter, and needs that. he’ll be around forever.

I'm glad the Reds are back in town tomorrow...
In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake. And to me the choice is easy.

The Wagon is superior to the Japanese models
(And Alan, if you don’t think that’s begging for a .gif, then you slippin’ man. You slippin’.)

Their only interest
Is to see him in the lineup. If someone offered $3.50 and a half eaten Snickers bar for him, I’d be $3.50 richer with a tootache if I were the Reds.
Please Note: I may be totally full of shit.
Brantley" "I've actually heard that there's some interest in Juan Castro out there.."
Fay: (sheepishly) “From other ballclubs?”
Holy hell I heard that and thought it was Cueto
I nearly had a heart attack
Patterson, Castro, and Bako, oh my!
at least castro is benched today.
perhaps dustface is coming around

I imagine
we will get an idea on who plays for Louisville tonight, especially if Bray doesn’t pitch tonight.
