Print- Louisville lost 5-2 to Columbus to see their division lead to drop to only 1/2 game. Matt Maloney started and pitched 8 innings and gave up 5 runs, although only 3 were earned. Juan Francisco, Daniel Dorn, and Wladimir Balentien had two hits each on the offensive side. Up next: They'll finish off the series against the Clippers at 7:05, with the starter to be determined.
- Carolina had the night off. They'll take on Mississippi at 8:05, with Scott Carroll taking the hill.
- Lynchburg lost 7-1 to Winston-Salem. Not much to talk about in this one, the Hillcats only had 3 hits and one was by new Hillcat Ryan LaMarre. He's hitting .333 since arriving in Lynchburg. Up next: The Cats will take on Wilmington at 7:05, with Daniel Guerrero on the mound.
- Dayton beat South Bend 3-1. Mark Fleury was 3-for-4 and a homer away from the cycle, and Cameron Satterwhite drove in 2 runs. Ricky Bowen was good in his start, pitching 6 innings of one-run ball with 5 strikeouts. Don't look now, but they've won 5 of their last 6. They're also 22 1/2 games back in their division (after 58 second half games), and mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Up next: Jacob Johnson takes on South Bend at 6:30.
- Billings beat Ogden 14-5. Jonathan Correa gave up 5 runs in 5 innings, but the bullpen was stellar, with Matt Leonard going 3 scoreless and Drew Hayes closing it out with a perfect 9th. Donald Lutz was the star of the show, going 4-for-4, and Tucker Barnhart added 3 hits of his own. Up next: Kyle Lotzkar gets Orem at 9:05.
- The AZL Reds beat the AZL Dodgers 6-4. Ronald Torreyes was 3-for-5 with 3 RBI to lead the offense, and Radhames Quezada pitched well, going 6 innings of 2-run ball with 7 strikeouts. Up next: They take on the AZL Tribe at 10.

Just now catching up on the FO
I spent the train ride with my face in the new SI that my wife picked up for me yesterday. Apparently there’s a nice article on Kevin Kolb in there. You should check it out.

I bought my Votto SI yesterday
Great photo on the cover….story was just OK. I love how they paint Joey as some nice, polite guy, which I’m sure he is. But on the field, he sure seems like an intense badass. Been ejected twice for arguing balls and strikes, and probably could have been ejected more often.

Off topic, but...
What a great night last night and we didn’t even play. St. Louis loses in demoralizing fashion AND a possibility that Pujols is hurt? He twisted his ankle in the 10th and his status for this weekend isn’t clear. Its a murky area cheering for injuries, but it sounds like its not too serious. If it costs him only a few games, then I don’t feel too guilty being pleased about it.
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
I actually don't want Pujols to be hurt
I think the Reds will win either way, and I don’t want that to be the excuse.

Me neither
Plus, it mucks up the triple crown race.
On the other hand, the Cardinals will make excuses even if Pujols is fine.

Exactly
they’re going to cry either way, so lets just have Pujols miss a few games….it’s for the best.
Oh and Omar Infante will much up the triple crown race.

Slyde, can you issue another ultimatum for the Reds for next year?
So far, your “if they don’t win, I’m out” has worked brilliantly this year.

I just spent an hour catching up on what I missed…and i was around for the first 300 comments or so.

i bet a friend of mine that albert would go on the DL before the end of the season.
the stakes are actually kinda high so i’m hoping for it.
plus i think it would help the cardinals lose some games and that would help the reds. and i don’t give a shit which excuse cardinal fans choose to use, in the end there will be many and they’ll all be bullshit.

quite the division race in the IL West
The Bats have a fairly good chance of making it to the playoffs even if they don’t win the division, as the wild card team.
In the IL, home field advantage in the post-season is rotated yearly by division. The schedule has been released, and either the South or West will host the final series. Which likely means it will be in Louisville, Columbus, or Durham, depending on who makes it.
If you can, go see it. They have hard time selling tickets to postseason minor league baseball. Even teams that usually sell out, like the Mudhens, don’t sell out in the postseason. It’s too bad, because it’s a blast.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I found an explanation in the links!
I guess that’s a sign of how many seats are season tickets/corporate sponsorships. The front row seat I got usually belongs to a season ticket holder, but there weren’t any season tickets for the post-season. School had started, so there weren’t many kids, except those too young to go to school. The weather was chilly – the kind of weather that has people thinking football, not baseball.
Along those lines, minor league games are usually family affairs planned well in advance
With the short notice for playoff games plus the start of school it becomes much more difficult.
yeah, and I think people just don't think about it
You have to be kind of a diehard even to keep track of who’s playing where and when in the minor league post-season. The average fan doesn’t even know about the post-season games. The teams that are most successful at selling postseason tickets are the ones that start promoting the games early in the regular season.
Of course, you have to pretty confident your team is going to make it to do that.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I was surprised, too
I never even bothered trying to go to AAA postseason games, because I figured they’d be sold out. Then someone told me the opposite was true: hardly anybody goes to those games. And lo, they were right.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yeah, I went to a Bulls-Bats playoff game in Durham
with Man Mountain two years ago, and it was pretty empty. Definitely not what I expected.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I say we start thinking about going to a Bats playoff game
Slyde, Jizzcow, and I went last year (and met up with xjjeep), and had a terrific time seeing tons of stud prospects and exciting playoff baseball. Not that we won’t see it in Cincinnati, but this is the appetizer.
Obviously, we can’t plan a day yet since we don’t know when they play, but last time wenwent on a weekday at about 5ish and got there around gametime. Who’s interested?

Yes, yes. Much fun!
Bats lost :( But the ballpark is pretty neat, even if it’s right by a skate park.
And Rob Dibble suddenly needs to spend more time with his family
after saying on XM radio on Monday:
You can’t have the cavalry come in and save your butt every time you feel a little stiff shoulder, sore elbow.
Asshole.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
He's moved on to making threats against Bob Carpenter
Wants him to come on his show and talk shit to him
Bart: "Dad, what's a Muppet?"
Homer: "Well, it's not quite a mop, not quite a puppet, but man... (laughs, then pauses) So, to answer you question, I don't know."
Ah, beat me to it!
12 -18 month prognosis
Bart: "Dad, what's a Muppet?"
Homer: "Well, it's not quite a mop, not quite a puppet, but man... (laughs, then pauses) So, to answer you question, I don't know."
Yeah, I was going to mention this. Devastating for them.
I mean, he’ll probably be fine in the long run, but they lose all of next year for him. Since they’re already paying him so much, that’s a bummer, and there’s always the chance he can’t come back and be effective.
OTOH, this gives them more time for Harper and other young prospects to get to develop, so when he gets back they could be legitimate.
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
This is why DC can't have anything nice
They just ruin everything
Bart: "Dad, what's a Muppet?"
Homer: "Well, it's not quite a mop, not quite a puppet, but man... (laughs, then pauses) So, to answer you question, I don't know."
I blame 'nukkah, D, and TFM

I'm kind of thankful that the Nats made it so easy to keep being a Reds fan
The Reds may have sucked the last several years, but the Nats always seemed to be worse.

I might do a post on this after the season, but this organization has a ridiculous number of really good teenage prospects.
Yorman, Duran, Hamilton, Barnhart, Correa, Guillon, Torreyes, and the guys from this year’s draft, Cisco, Mugarian, and Waldrop.
There is so much upside here, and what’s great is it’s not just projection either. These guys are tearing it up in different ways in the low minors. It’s going to be fun to watch all of them going forward.

Another reason to ridicule LaRussa (and Pujols)
Evidently, they’re attending Glenn Beck’s “I have a scheme” rally in DC.

Oh don't worry
TLR made double sure that it wasn’t going to be political at all…Glenn Beck even pinky swore that it wasn’t
Bart: "Dad, what's a Muppet?"
Homer: "Well, it's not quite a mop, not quite a puppet, but man... (laughs, then pauses) So, to answer you question, I don't know."
Yeah...not political...sure
That Michelle Bachmann witch is going to be there, and I’m sure they’ll be plenty of other nutcases as well.

Man, why y'all gotta be so political?

Yeah, and Sarah Palin goes to lots of non-political events!
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
when can we get Wlad up here
Demote Gomes s’il vous plait
i'm right there with you.
but i don’t see it happening. wlad’s not on the 40-man and dusty commented that it’s a long shot that he makes it on.

Since there's no Reposter this morning
Watch out for bad eggs at local Asian restaurants.

bizarre
You’d think they’d at least hide the sex toy and shut the computer when they saw the flashing lights.

i would think
that if you are willing to do that in your car while driving, then you probably arent all that concerned about embarrassing yourself.

what?
I thought that’s what the tinted windows were for!
