Hey you guys
We tied it up. We need your support now more than ever in this time of high leverage.
He's extremely quick and good.
Can we root for both of you to lose?
No offense, but we’re like trying to catch both of you.

If they were still on the Reds
that wouldn’t sound nearly as impressive.

And all it took was a fluke bloop double by our best hitter
...who has now surpassed his father for most homerless games to start a season following a 50-homer campaign!
He's extremely quick and good.

LOLCats are a bannable offense.
We need to put that in our terms of service. :)

are you sure
that wasn’t prince’s plan the whole time? he seems intent on surpassing all of his father’s accomplishments, to undermine him. this would just be one more to take away.
Volquez throwing a lot of pitches
This may be his last inning, no?
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
Possible
I’d like to see him make it through at least five.

Dunn had a little trouble on that one
luckily it didn’t get by him

For those watching on TV
is EV missing a lot or is he getting jobbed by the ump? Lots of the Gamecast pitches (for what they’re worth) look right down the middle.
Jobbed. Big time.
That last one was right on the corner, Cubs announcers even said so.

2 pitches, 2 outs
FTH is up with the top of the order??
WHY SHOULD I CHANGE IT? HE'S THE ONE WHO SUCKS!
Its possible
He comes back out I guess, he is on extra rest, but I wouldn’t expect it.
Meanwhile, we get two outs on two pitches.

Anyone warming up for the Reds...
or are they running him back out there in the bottom of the 5th? That is A LOT of pitches through 4 innings—regardless of the strike zone.
Burton was last inning.

qualifying for the win is the most important thing

Why do I feel we will regret that decision?
Must be my pessimistic ways.
I kinda like it, as a challenge to the young guy
I would also put Burton in at the first sign of trouble. And whatever the case, this is his LAST inning.

I think the biggest factor is
5 guys covered 6 innings last night
Find me on MySpace- http://www.myspace.com/mixfmkyle
and against the heart of the order as well.
Well…not Theriot…but certainly Lee, Ramirez et al.
alright, battlekow
weeks is coming up, and he’s on my fantasy team. let’s hope for good things
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
He's on mine too
He’s going to pop up to second base. He always does.

i gotta go with lebowski
but o brother, fargo, barton fink, and no country are all good. and so is blood simple.

that was really a pretty terrific 5 innings
even the walks were questionable calls by the ump. And when he missed, he missed just low and outside. Pretty awesome control. Loving this guy.

i am really enjoying having some young starting pitcher

EV is hitting? Did I read that correctly?
You’re joking, right?
Marty and Rantley
are pretty sure Burton is coming in the 6th. Just didn’ want to waste a pinch hitter.
Tanzen!
by Verka Serduchka on Apr 17, 2008 4:18 PM EDT up reply actions
maybe because his last at-bat was one of the best against
Lilly this game…ha ha.
he batted
hes not necessarily coming back to pitch

brenley speculated
that dusty didnt want to waste the pinch hitter

Dusty wouldn't...would he?
....and in Chicago no less…the scene of the “crimes against young pitchers”
where else on the bench do we have a 0-25 lifetime hitter
gotta play your best

I know I'm late to this
... but why not pinch hit Phillips last inning? You don’t plan to play him today. But one at bat where there’s really no pressure isn’t going to ruin his off day. I don’t understand that.
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
Saving him for the later innings, apparently.
We didn’t really have any kind of rally going. I don’t mind the non-move.

"When we played softball, I would steal second and then feel guilty and go back" woody allen
It is a mental break
explained Marty. He was visibly down after the loss yesterday and was sitting alone in the clubhouose after the game. Dusty, being in tune with his players, is probably going leave him be til tomorrow.
Tanzen!

Hmm.. I guess that makes sense
But a no pressure AB couldn’t hurt things. whatever the case, it’s a non-issue because Votto is a stud.

Gotta like that Dusty isn't waiting for their role innings

Gotta wonder if Burton
Is gonna get sent down to. He ERA is pretty crooked.

I think he's looked pretty good
He’s still striking out a lot of guys and has kept the walks down. I think they’ll keep him up.
