A win last night was nice, but I'm not quite ready to let the baby run free. I will give her some room to move though. I want to see back to back wins!
Remember, Reds, only you can set her free.

It disturbs me that you have pictures of children in makeshift prisons so readily available.
How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Um.
Yeah, if we’re not going to play Hairston, can we just put him back on the DL, let him take his time, and call up Dickerson?
I think we overmeet as a society.
I'm glad to see, though
that Dunn is permanently in the fifth spot.
I think we overmeet as a society.
is the love affair with keppinger just about over?
he seems to be appropriately regressing to his mean, with a .269/.323/.360/.683 line and a 77 OPS+. What are everyday Reds fans’ thoughts on Jeffy?
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
by "everyday"
i mean those in cincinnati whose ears are pulled by the enquirer and wlw all day
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
Changed slightly within the last month or so
From what I’ve seen, about a month ago, he was the second coming of Pete, and a stud prospect who will be the Reds SS for years to come. Just the other day, however, I heard some kid optimistic for Gonzo to come back next season. I’d assume it’s still pretty high, but not as high as earlier in the season.

Bush just hit Dunn and went full on EdE. So you swing at the first pitch.

Now for some runs.

I was (gulp) folding laundry
While yelling at Corey Patterson to at least catch the damned ball if he’s not going to hit it.
How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?
The first two
(the 2B and 3B) were line shots that he played somewhere between trying to chase it down and playing it off the wall with the ball bouncing past him the other way both times. This last one, he pulled up and let it fall in front of him.
How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?
I think he was playing a little too shallow on the triple
and took a bad angle to the ball

The best story I read somewhere
Was that the lightning was so bad that Berkman yanked his necklace off and threw it out of fear.

i saw him on PTI running for the dugout before the ump even called for the grounds crew
"I never use a big word when a diminutive one will work." — Pete Mackanin.
And I'm wrong as usual
Before LaTroy Hawkins took the mound in the bottom of the eighth, Berkman ran back to the dugout - jokingly, according to the first baseman - to remove his silver necklace.But minutes later, Berkman, again startled by the ear-splitting conditions, had seen, and heard, enough. He ran for cover, even before the umpires officially shooed the players off the field.

This is a burning question for me, because all of Cubdom hated him but anyway, how do you guys like Dusty?

Hey 'nukkah!
Guess who’s playing at the Taste of Blue Ash this year?
Kenny Loggins! (with War and Eddie “The Money Man” Money)
Bend over and drop your pants, Mr. Babar.
When is that?
Didn’t they have Heart last year?
How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?
I was right, hell yes!
Blue Ash offers three summer events each year: Summerbration; Red, White, and Blue Ash; and Taste of Blue Ash. Red, White and Blue Ash is held on annually on July 4th and features the biggest Independence Day firework display in the region. The event also draws headline acts for a free concert before the fireworks. The Charlie Daniels Band and 38 Special are slated to perform on July 4, 2008. Heart and Head East played in 2007. Other past performers include Toto in 2006, Styx in 2004, The Doobie Brothers in 2000 and 2003, Eddie Money in 2002, and REO Speedwagon in both 1998 and 1999.

That's from the Blue Ash Wiki page
So take it for what it’s worth.
How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?
I've been saying (seriously) for awhile now
that Eddie Money is due for a come back. Or at least a rediscovery by a new generation of music fans. Like some up and coming band needs to cover “Gimme Some Water.”
Chris Parr?
He’s really only got that song. Eddie Money has at least four good songs. But “Man in Motion (St. Elmo’s Fire)” is one of the best songs of the ‘80’s.
he had that Naughty Naughty song also
theme of the 1983 CHL 8th grade hoops champs, Loveland Middle School.
Is that from the 80s?
I meant the best 80s song about a guy in a wheel chair.
Bend over and drop your pants, Mr. Babar.
I'm just shocked that Loggins is playing a "free" show when he was charging $79 in DC
Bend over and drop your pants, Mr. Babar.
Yeah, and not even DC
One of the ‘burbs. He’d better be careful because with those kind of ticket price fluctuations, he’s entering… a very dangerous zone!
not that this game is interesting...
but it’s sorta sad to see edinson slipping these past two months. i hope he gets dominant again for the end of the season so he has that to carry him thorugh winter
Politickin' in God's Country
Not to get all stattty
but some of it is regression too. We knew he wasn’t going to be able to maintain that level. I’d be happy if he makes it through the season without an injury.
Bend over and drop your pants, Mr. Babar.
I know you're right
It was just so cool to be able to think that we were going to win the game regardless for those first few months of his Reds career

These Brewers/Reds games aren’t as good when battlekow isn’t around. An important part of our game thread at Brewcrewball discusses Dick Pole.

just curious
is Ben Sheets the best Brewer pitcher ever? Who have they ever had that was better…did Warren Spahn pitch for them ever? I’m gonna look this up and get back to you
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
I'll try to save you some time
Sheets is probably the best. Vukovich and Caldwell were good back in the day, and Teddy Higuera struck out a lot of guys. You could count Rollie Fingers, too. And Dave Bush.
I never saw any of them pitch- before my time. :)

True story
It was 2-1 Brewers when I got off the train and walked home. I got home, threw a burger on the grill, sat down on the couch, and turned the game on. It was commercial. I thought it’s likely the score is no longer 2-1, so what is it? I guessed 5-1 Brewers and Volquez was being chased.
Sure enough, the game returned and it was 5-1. Andy Phillips pinch hit for Volquez that inning.
I bet 90% of you would have guessed the exact same thing.
to answer our question from this weekend
Dunn still walks in to Sister Christian. The kid is alright.

Jesus Loves Josh more than Voltron
We shoulda kept him. what an outfield – Dunn LF, hobbs CF, Bruce RF….What a whole lot of runs that group would produce – give ab average Fogg like pitcher a chance every game
You can tell your uncle stuff that you could not tell your dad. That is kind of the role of an uncle. I feel very much like a father sometimes but sometimes I feel like a teammate.
Dusty Baker
Hobbs is not really a CFer
I think he’s going to end up in right field.
He DH’ed tonight. A-Rod got plunked twice, so Veras “protected his teammate” and plunked Hamilton. It was pretty obvious. As Josh took his walk, Veras looked into the dugout at A-Rod, as if to say, “This one’s for you.”
Texas had the last laugh, though. The Yankees went down fighting, but in the end, Everyday Eddie got the save.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
He homered off Pettitte tonight
Andy had kind of a rough night.
Pettitte struck him out later in the game, and Josh got pretty upset with the umpire. I thought he was going to get tossed, but the umpire took off his mask and Hamilton got the message.
