And McDonald and Hairston.

Actually, I’m cool with Hairston getting another start. He had a good game last night even though he doesn’t seem like much of a threat to very often hit the ball hard.

Go 2009 Reds!

I kind figured Hairston would be in the lineup

The only question was whether it would be at 3B or SS.

And yes, he did play very well yesterday, despite the fears of many of us RRers.

I missed the game thread..

What did everyone think of Dickerson’s “catch” in the second inning. FSN showed one replay. Welsh stuttered a compliment and then that was it.

I was jonesing for some Red Reporter hand-wringing!

Hey

There was a game preview thread posted, why not use it? You could have deleted it if you didn’t want us posting to it. It’s been up for hours.

This is a series preview, BF

Unless those are the lineups for the entire series, you are WRONG WRONG WRONG.

Gosh.

Everybody's a jerk. You. Me. This jerk.

I need to see what "Dom" says

I want to be there when a trailer full of coffins slams into a an ambulance full of terminally ill Bolivians. Or when the Reds win a WS..whichever comes first....
