I'm not sure what to expect this game. On the one hand, Zito is a lefty. On the other hand, he has been quite shitty this year. I'm concerned that it's a day game after a night game on a travel day. Hopefully Dusty will put a competitive lineup on the field

Sunday's Lineup
Today’s lineup
via (sic):
Jerry Hairston RF
Corey Patterson CF
Jeff Keppinger SS
Brandon Phillips 2B
Edwin Encarnacion 3B
Joey Votto 1B
Ryan Freel LF
Paul Bako C
Edison Volquez P
Notable: First time the CF hasn’t lead off. No Dunn or Junior. EdE and Votto still at the back end of the line-up. Off the top of my head, I’d say this is the worst lineup the Reds have run out all season. I’m predicting 70 runs.
Brendon, there's nothing wrong with lying to women. Or the government. Or parents. Or God.
its sad
but when i saw this lineup i was consigned to it. “At least Hairston’s in there instead of Hopper,” I said. I hate our offense.
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Ugh
With Castro gone, that may be the worst lineup possible.
On a side note, the Cavs-Wizards playoff game is being shown on channel 64. Has the NBA fallen so far that their playoff games are the CW?
Please Note: I may be totally full of shit.
Confused me for a sec...
Around here 64 is Disney… Lebron James got replaced by freakin Mickey Mouse?
People Don't Kill People. Burning Couches Kill People.
Freel, Patterson, Hairston.
Three guys who shouldn’t be starting for ANY team are ALL 3 starting for the Reds today.

im gonna give a pass to jerry hairston for a while
since he’s the hottest hitter in professional baseball. but certainly this time last year, seeing freel-bako-pitcher-hairston-patterson-keppinger would mortify me.
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
why no ross today?
i know bako hit that homer last night, but he also let rich aurilla steal on him.
letting that guy steal was definitely worse than the home run was good
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
You look at that lineup and your question is "why no ross today?"
BTW, Bako has thrown 7 of 16 runners this year. The way they were running last night, I’m guessing it was Belisle they were stealing on.
You're drowning in the past, Mike, and I've got your life jacket right here. It's called the 80s and it's gonna be around forever.
I knew it
Thanks Dusty, now I feel fine working out in the yard this afternoon.

that trade certainly did not get accepted. maybe you didnt confirm it? Can you try it again?
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Paul Janish
Just hit a grand slam for Louisville.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
wow
3 for 3 with 6 RBIs… somebody’s trying to make it on Farmers only…

He either struck out, popped up, or walked?

He went down swinging
Maloney is now out of the game. Your hero Tyler Pelland is coming in.
Maloney had a pretty good day today. Struck out nine.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
yeah, it finally caught up
your boy andy is the only Bat (other than that non-prospect Jay Bruce) not to score in this game. And the Bats have scored in every inning so far
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Andy Phillips
may not have scored, but he’s 2 for 3. And the out he made was a loud one. The announcers thought it was going out.
Bruce is 0 for 3, that slacker. He’s the only who hasn’t been on base and isn’t a pitcher.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Bruce homered
His first hit of the game.
Janish on 2B via a double. Janish is 4 for 4 now.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
hey
i won one of the joey votto bobbleheads. i definitely overpaid for it, but i really wanted one.
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Chad Moeller
He was DFA’d by the Yankees on Friday. I don’t think he’s cleared waivers yet.
Today, Posada was a late scratch. He has a shoulder injury that will probably land him on the DL. Can the Yankees un-designate Moeller?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
you guys are complaining about our lineup?
check out there’s. AAAA fodder almost every one.
here we go
im becoming very pessimistic about our chances this season, but i think we’re going to kick zito’s ass, putrid lineup or no
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
i dont think the lineup is that bad
it’s just jr and dunn out and both have not been hitting lately. My only big issue is why Patterson is hitting so high in the order
nice PA jerry

On pace for 162 runs, technically. 6-0 Reds.

I don't think the Bengals did too terribly.
They got the player they should have gotten yesterday in Sims and got good value for the rest of their picks. Only guy that I don’t like is Shirley, who’s had character issues. And as a bonus for OSU fans, we got Corey Lynch from Appalachian State who blocked the kick to beat Michigan last year.

Yeah, for the first two rounds
And for the first day they had, it was hard to argue. They stood pat in getting the guy they wanted in Ellis, and passed on some great receivers in the second round before taking Simpson. I didn’t think the Rivers pick was that bad though.
