PrintMilwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds, May 6, 2009 7:10 PM EDT

|
After splitting the two game series in Florida, the Reds return home to take on the Brew Crew in another two game series.
Another day, another Reds pitcher coming off of a brilliant outing. Bronson Arroyo starts for the Reds, having pitched 8 shutout innings last time out in Pittsburgh. Of his 5 starts this year, he has 3 quality starts, all of them coming on the road. Let's hope he can get back on track at home to get the Reds a W.
Manny Parra takes the hill for the Brewers, who's leading the league in losses right now with 4. Last time he took on the Reds, he pitched 6 innings of 3 run ball, but was outdueled by Bronson.
Here's the Reds lineup, via Sheldon:
Taveras CF
Hairston 3B
Votto 1B
Phillips 2B
Bruce RF
McDonald LF
Hanigan C
Janish SS
Arroyo P
With Gonzalez hurt and likely headed for the DL, Arroyo's personal SS gets a start, as well as his personal catcher. Also, Adam Rosales takes his first day off as a big leaguer this season, and with Hairston playing 3B and a lefty on the mound, McFlurry gets the start in LF.
Let's get this homestand going on the right foot. Here's the GameDay link. Go Reds!

i saw Parra pitch last season
when i went to Milwaukee, he faced Fogg, surprisingly the Reds won.
Bloop
Aside from realizing that Laynce probably ain't gonna play even on C Dick's offdays
I like the lineup.
You're forgetting about the costly error McDonald is going to commit.
Brewers 4 Reds 3.

So basically there's no way Nix ever gets to start, right?
I mean, if Dusty seriously thinks McDonald is a better LF than Nix, he’s kind of screwed.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
silly Gray
There’s a southpaw on the mound. Of course the right-handed Crabman is going to start over lefty Nix.

I haven't been to the new Yankee Stadium yet
and I’m not sure I want to.
They’ve always been Nazis when it comes to security, but it sounds like it’s insane now.
Yankee Stadium personnel need to lighten up
Rigid Rules? Refused Re-Entry? Share Your Stories
Yankees put squeeze play on media at the new Stadium
I mean, jeez. Even Paul O’Neill is getting hassled?
The result:
Here is what is sickening about the new Yankee Stadium. The gates open 3 hours before the game so fans catch watch BP. As I write this, here is how many people are in the premium seats watching BP from the front row and getting a good look at the players:
3.
That’s right, three. Meanwhile, there are people six deep along the foul line in right field and left field hoping to get a ball, get an autograph, whatever. But because of the caste system in place here, they’ll never get closer.
That is not what a baseball game is supposed to be like. I have a feeling they’re going to regret going such an elitist route one day.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I don't even get what they're trying to gain...
To some people like being in exclusive sections where the commoners are never allowed? Do they think people will be less likely to pay for expensive seats if they can actually move around the stadium?
And of course there’s also the BS going on during God Bless America. Is that lawsuit still going forward?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I don't know what they're thinking
Huge swaths of the new ballpark are off-limits to ordinary fans. I guess they think that’s what rich people want. But why enforce it three hours before the game? What about the kids who just want an autograph or a ball? They’re the fans of the future.
Even in the upper deck, they’re not letting people move to better seats – even late in the game when hardly anyone’s there.
So far as I know, the lawsuit is going forward. The guy’s a lawyer, so it’s not like it’s costing him anything to sue.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Last night I placed my Dogon funereal figure at the side of my bed in hopes that I would receive direction from a relative or a specially empowered person who has recently ‘crossed over’. I was asking if they could see any possibility of the Red’s competing into the dog days of the 2009 season….
Well it happened…I had an ‘out of body’ interaction with a member of the recently departed:
Dom:" Mads…Mads…MADS! ask me your question you lazy fucker"
Mads" Blow muh…oh WTF its Dom…is that you?"
Dom" Who does it look like Charleston Heston?"
Mads: “That’s Charleton, Dom”
Dom “Charleton is more like it”
Mads" Well what can you see from the ‘other side’ about our beloved Reds?"
Dom"I’m wearing a Red hat and have a Red apple…this is the season for Red."
Mads"Alright ..would you translate?"
Dom" How the fuck should i know…I’m dead"
Mads “But….”
Dom “All i can say is that it is going to be a much more competitive race than you sorry Red Reporter guys think…but……mads,,,,,, there will be an interesting change sooooon”
Mads "Dom don’t go…you’re our only link….:then he was gone…poof!
That’s it folks…but I think I’ve made an important link. More as it comes through from the land of the DEAD.

So, awkward introductions
I got home from work, made myself a sandwich, and then realized that my phone was still in my car. I go out to retrieve it, munching on the sandwich along the way. Grab my phone and head back to the house, when a car pulls into the driveway next to mine. Who should it be? Trei, from SBNation!
I’ve lived here for over a month, but I hadn’t met him yet. So he says hi, introduces himself, and I shake his hand while holding a half-eaten turkey sandwich in the other hand. We talk a little bit about all the bloggers in DC, what a small world it is, how he should have introduced himself sooner cuz he’s an Astros fan and we should have watched that series together.
Then his son latches on to his leg and starts singing, “DC United!” Awesome! But now the conversation’s been going on for like five minutes and the sandwich is still in my hand, so I’m like, “Uh, nice to meet you,” and go back in the house to finish eating it.
The end.
what?
you hadnt met him yet and he just did a pop in? and you happened to be in the driveway when he pulled up?

because his fastball isn't.

I think Daniel Ray Herrara is a bum
Always have or always will. I understand that Bray was hurt at the beginning of the year, but has has allow no runs in 5 innings at AAA with a 0.6 WHIP. He belongs here, was good last year and can actually pitch to more than just lefties. Herrera will never be anything in the MLB, he is a trick pitcher that will get smashed by all once he is figured out.
