He actually sat Sunday because of illness, NOT because he was facing a lefty (he did start Sat against Williams -a lefty) - or at least that was the claim on the broadcast.Do they think Howard can't hit left handers still?Just let the kid play and he will be fine. He does not need the protection.
I was listening to the radio broadcast while driving up from D.C. yesterday and they were talking about Howard still being protected from left handers and then around the time he came into to pinch hit, he was sitting out because he was sick. If he hits HRs and snares line drives like that to end the game, he should play sick all the time.He actually sat Sunday because of illness, NOT because he was facing a lefty (he did start Sat against Williams -a lefty) - or at least that was the claim on the broadcast.Do they think Howard can't hit left handers still?
1-1 for the games I have been too....going again next week vs Brewers....hopefully 2-1 after that.They need to get this closer situation fixed though. Odesn't seem like they have a plan, just use whoever hasn't been used in a while.
Junior with a go-ahead 3 run HR in top of 9th.
Looked at the box score and didn't realize Griffey was hitting .298 Wasn't he at .240 or so a week ago?
The pitching is finally coming around. Solid starters of late with Harang, Arroyo, and Milton. Griffey is healthy and back to his all-star form, offensively and defensively. (Batting .500, 4 HRs, 8 RBIs during the 6 game winning streak)
First 8 game winning streak since '99.
So when does the season-killing losing streak hit? Or is this team legitimately better than the 2004 team (since they have at least 2 legitimate MLB-caliber starting pitchers)?
Now see what you did!
What an ugly game! It's been that way for a couple weeks now. They haven't been able to get the hit with runners in scoring position. What was sad was Jenks allowing the bases loaded with a struggling offense. I thought they had a chance, but they blew it
I don't know that they are one of the better teams in the NL, but they do have a decent lineup. Pitching is a question as proven by tonight's game. I am slowly beginning to see what it's like to be a Cubs fan.
Good job. Now lets see how long they stay at or near the top. Didn't we just run through this lesson with the Red Sox a few years ago? Rant over, thread continued. Either way I am now and always will be a Reds fan thank God. 
This is a Reds thread, isn't it?I'm afraid I won't be able to post about the Reds come post season, whereas I will with the White Sox.
At least the Reds still hold the Wild Card, right?
Not when they leave NY, they won't.
why in God's name are David Weathers and Chris Hammond still on the roster?It is like watching Danny Graves his last two seasons on this team.This ####ing bullpen is making me pull my hair out, but our should-be-All Star second baseman saves the day.
I will never understand why they are carrying three catchers....doesn't make sense to me.why in God's name are David Weathers and Chris Hammond still on the roster?It is like watching Danny Graves his last two seasons on this team.This ####ing bullpen is making me pull my hair out, but our should-be-All Star second baseman saves the day.
And why haven't they traded Jason LaRue for a right handed reliever?????????

I have plans that day....maybe I need to reschedule 
they could trade him and have Jason LaRue John Deere hat day with his new team,....incorporate it into the trade. maybe, Jason the hats, and $5000. cash for a mediocre RH reliever.Because Jason LaRue John Deere Had Day is in two Sundays.I will never understand why they are carrying three catchers....doesn't make sense to me.why in God's name are David Weathers and Chris Hammond still on the roster?It is like watching Danny Graves his last two seasons on this team.This ####ing bullpen is making me pull my hair out, but our should-be-All Star second baseman saves the day.
