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!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Having fun, folks?

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.

And by the way, Kendall’s hit was almost certainly the farthest he has hit a ball this year. So be proud you were able to witness that milestone!

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

by Cy Schourek on Aug 5, 2008 9:19 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

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

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.

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.
