600 ball
The marlins announcers said the guy who caught the ball told the Reds officials that he wasn’t going to give them his name, and if they want to contact him, they can contact the Marlins. Says he “has plans.”

OK...
I wasn’t going to call him a jerk until this detail emerged, because it’s his ball, and he should do what he wants with it.
If you got a ball like that, you would at least think of selling it, particularly if you’ve got four hungry children and a crop in the fields.

i have no clue who we call up
there’s no infielder on the 40-man, so we’re gonna have to waste someone’s option or go without a backup SS for a week. My guess is Luis Bolivar, because it doesnt really matter if they waste an option on him, or maybe Chris Valaika, who’s just starting to hit in Chattanooga.

I think he came up with Ari (so Thom will know plenty) as a SS with a 70 arm. I know he has been in the OF in Louie but is there a chance?

I'm wondering what he did to get on The List
Bronson Sardinha was released by the Mariners for something he did that landed him on the suspended list. He won’t say what it was, except that it was “a mistake off the field.” Apparently, the Rainiers were playing in Fresno, and they just left him behind there.

From Fay's blog, I had to point this out
Jerry Hairston Jr. injured his thumb sliding into second in the first inning and was taken out of the game. He’s being recognized.
Recognized, John?

I still don't understand
why we can’t double-switch the catcher out in these situations.

I wouldn't want Burton
throwing more than 7 pitches, anyway.

Why would we want to do that?
After the good money they paid the catcher witch.
Speaking of which, Chad Moeller seems to have been making his payments. A very clutch HBP today.
He came in as a pinch-runner. (!)

Jared Burton is the bee's knees.

"The bee's knees"
A bee’s “corbiculae”, or pollen-baskets, are located on its
tibiae (midsegments of its legs). The phrase “the bee’s knees”,
meaning “the height of excellence”, became popular in the U.S. in
the 1920s, along with “the cat’s whiskers” (possibly from the use
of these in radio crystal sets), “the cat’s pajamas” (pyjamas were
still new enough to be daring), and similar phrases which made less
sense and didn’t endure: “the eel’s ankle”, “the elephant’s
instep”, “the snake’s hip”. Stories in circulation about the
phrase’s origin include: “b’s and e’s”, short for “be-alls and
end-alls”; and a corruption of “business”.

I can’t figure out how Burton ever got ready. I only saw Lincoln and Bray up in the pen, and then Jared came in. (Dusty went to Jared!)

From the fay:
In time for Tuesday’s 7:10 p.m. game against the Cardinals, the Reds will hang a 54-foot banner at the Crosley Terrace entrance of Great American Ball Park saluting Ken Griffey Jr.’s 600th career home run.All fans attending the Tuesday, June 17 game against the Dodgers (7:10 p.m. ET) will receive a poster, presented by Toyota, commemorating the historic homer.
