Game Thread: Game 17 vs the Phillies

PHILLIES PROBABLE: REDS PROBABLE:
Jon Lieber (0-0, 11.57) Kyle Lohse (1-0, 2.53)
I'm just trying to forget the last two days happened. Taking advantage of a badly struggling Phillies team would really help with that.
Go Reds!

Conine Must be hurt.
Sad thing is... There is nobody on the 40-Man Roster that is a position player that can be called up except Dickerson.
we should do the phills a favor....
Hopper should lead off, I am sorry, but I do not understand all the freel love, he is OK, but thats all. and the Bullpen, we have the help in AAA, if only we could trust someone younger than 40 to handle the job. (and no, I don't mean Maj, he is perhaps the 4th best bullpen arm in AAA)

I was especially moved by Breaker's response to the question of what was best in life.
Thank you Man
My dad never liked Howard Cosell and he used to lament that Cosell just "hung around and hung around and hung around" so that my dad eventually realized that there was little use in "hating" Cosell so he just grew to "tolerate" him instead. I think I'll feel that way about Rome for the next ten or twenty years.

Anyway, he's flipping out about having to appear on the NFL draft show. Nobody is funnier than when Satchmo's being self-deprecating.
His show is on XM...
I've never seen more than a cumulative two hours of American Idol but I love hearing him go on and on about each performer and such.
XM also has ESPN radio which provides "PTI" and I should record those too (you really don't have to "watch" PTI unless you want to see waving hands and the poison dart glances.)
Love TK. Love him.

Man in Black: How old were you?
Inigo Montoya: I was eleven years old. And when I was strong enough, I dedicated my life to the study of fencing. So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say, "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

So nice of the Reds to help him out like that.

Late question
Lohse
I almost say leave him in, but he should probably come out. Let's just hope if we load the bases this inning, we don't come away empty-handed again.

beg to differ
it was closer than it should have been......
LLM had both arms up in the air for the first third of the trip, then decided he better get it in gear.

What do you think...
by Alan @ Red Reporter on Apr 21, 2007 9:23 AM EDT up reply actions
maybe
The ball was crused into left, where the outfielder was playing very shallow, charged hard and came up throwing. Add in a slow runner and you have to hustle the entire play.
Could you imagine the comments if that throw had beat him to the plate?
There was contact at the plate...
Alright homies
Homer Bailey
Of course, Gary Majewski comes in and gives up 6 runs in 2/3 of an inning. Seriously.
