Print- Louisville lost 6-2 to Toledo. Daniel Dorn was 3-for-4 with a double and Wladimir Balentien hit his 25th homer of the year. I'd love to see him in Red soon. Any chance he hides out in the trunk of Aroldis's sweet, sweet ride tonight to get a free ride to Cincy? Matt Klinker got the start and gave up 5 runs in 6 innings. As for the playoff race, the Bats maintain a 1/2 game lead in the division, and would be leading the Wild Card if they weren't. Still in good shape. Up next: Matt Maloney gets Toledo at 6:30.
- Carolina's game was postponed. They'll take on Birmingham at 8:05 with James Avery taking the mound.
- Lynchburg was off. They'll take on Winston-Salem at 7 with Justin Walker listed to start.
- Dayton beat Lansing 9-7. Daniel Corcino got knocked around, giving up all 7 runs in 5 innings but the Dragons overgame a 5-run deficit in the top of the 9th to earn Tzu-Kai Chiu his first win of the year. 5 different Dragons had 2 hits each. Up next: Ricky Bowen takes on the Lugnuts at 7:05.
- Billings' game against Orem was cancelled. They'll resume a suspended game against Helena before Tanner Robles takes them on in game 2.
- The AZL Reds were cruising to victory before the AZL Giants came back, but they held on in their playoff game to win 6-5. Ismael Guillon was great in his start, going 5 shutout innings with 8 strikeouts. Ronald Torreyes was 3-for-5 with 5 RBI and was a homer away from the cycle. David Vidal, Jaren Matthews, and Yasmani Grandal all had 2 hits as well. Up next: The AZL Reds advance to the AZL Championship game against the AZL Brewers.

Why wouldn't Balentien get a call up?
I would like to see him get some ML ABs to see if he’s really improved or if he’s really Wladimir Mo Pena.
If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.

Biggest problem for Wlad is that he's not on the 40-man roster
so it will take some shenanigans to get him up to the big leagues. I’m not sure the Reds are in to that.

Why not put Phillipe Valiquette and Grandal on the 60-Day DL?
It’s highly unlikely either of these guys will be on the 25-man playoff roster, so what would the harm be?
Grandal's hurt?
Crap, how did I miss that?

i dont think he's really hurt
that’s why it would be shenanigans.

That isn’t shenanigans.

You are correct, but still ... DIE MOTHER FUCKER DIE MOTHER FUCKER DIE!

Funny story
Last summer, one of the neighborhood kids (5-year old) drew a picture of a guy pistol whipping another guy. The next day, my 3-year old son was drawing a picture at daycare of a guy pistol whipping another guy. Kids these days. Where do they learn this stuff?

From college football players,
d’uh.
Witnesses told Tampa police that USF tight end Trent Pupello, 21, broke away briefly from a 15-person brawl outside the Hut at 514 Channelside Drive near 2:51 a.m., said Laura McElroy, a police spokeswoman.
When he came back from his 2005 GMC Denali, he ran into the fray with a gun and fired it several times in the air before randomly pistol-whipping three people, breaking one person’s eye socket, and missing a fourth person, McElroy said.
He is charged three counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with a firearm and discharging a firearm in public.

Does a Division I really need a gun to whip somebody's ass?
The USF website lists him at 6’2", 276 lbs.
Looks like a charming fellow:

Everyone's a little bit racist...
but I confess, when I hear that a Division I athlete pistol-whipped somebody, I know he’s white.
Also when I hear that a Division I athlete beat the crap out of half a dozen people with his fists and was arrested for carrying a concealed firearm, he’s black.
Everyone's a little bit racist sometimes...
Doesn’t mean we go around committing hate cri-i-imes…

no offense, but i found it be very puerile. the music was actually kinda good, but the jokes had me rolling my eyes far more often than laughing.

Oh, don't get me wrong. It's definitely pretty blue.

Yep, also -- you just fucking knew the guy was Italian.

Also, the dude originally signed with Florida but left because of some
family issues (I believe) and enrolled at his hometown USF. So, it’s not like this dude is your average D. 1er, this guy was one of the premier TE prospects in the country. Yeah, he could hurt some fuckers.

Okay gang, I need your help!
It’s free lunch day for me again today, and I don’t know where to go. I’m in Mason, and the only two place I can think of off hand are Aponte’s Pizza and BD’s Mongolian BBQ. Any other ideas?

You know what's sad?
I grew up in West Chester right next door, but I’ve been gone so long I can’t think of a single place to tell you to go.

I gave Wheel of Lunch a whirl
My first three recommendations: Jim Dandy’s BBQ, Blue Ash Chili, & El Caporal. Hhhmmmm.

I don't know if they serve lunch
but Relish Tapas is good.

I kinda want Aponte's, I ain't gonna lie
But I could also go for a badass burger if one is close.

Eh, Red Robin is really the only burger place out there
Although I think there’s a Culver’s on Tylersville now.

You forgot the Jr.
Which means someone had already suffered through that name, and passed it on. Harsh.

Cardinals fan I work with, circa a half hour ago:
“I’m really starting to wonder if the players are just playing badly because they don’t like that they’re owned by the Dutch now. Or maybe the Dutch are betting against them and telling them to lose.”
Dutch or Belgiums?
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 bet Chris Carpenter goes in the dutch door

I really have no respect for it, anything it does, and I wish we could expunge it from the public conscience somehow.

One of my facebook friends showed up on that site
And no, not because of me. I was kind enough to warn her about it though.
