I'm calling shenanigans. 47-year-old Julio Franco just stole third? And it's his fourth steal of the year? Didn't anybody hear the scooter start up?

Pedro was handing out walks in this one, and the Reds still couldn't capitalize. He whined to the umpire, but nicely I guess, during a mound meeting, and sure enough the guy gives him a strike off the plate by more than a foot. That was after walking the bases loaded. Key point in the game right there.

While we're at it, if a RH reliever is the question, Mike Burns is not the answer. Nice WHIP, buddy - back to Louisville with you.

This has been a theme in their "slump". Starting pitching has been
but the combo of relief and offense has been killing them.

If I'm not mistaken, their only 2 runs today came from fly balls. They could not get one hit when it counted, NUMEROUS times, and this was not a dominating Pedro -- 5 walks, which he never does. It was quite pathetic.This has been a theme in their "slump". Starting pitching has been

That was a helluva pick-up by Krivsky. I'll give him that. David Ross looks like another steal.Phillips is a stud.

True. I just didn't get the feeling that he was the goods when he was with the Dodgers. I'd like to see him keep it up, however...seems like a good guy.Why not start him every day until the honeymoon's over?3 catchers.I wouldn't be so sure about Ross. It's still the honeymoon.That was a helluva pick-up by Krivsky. I'll give him that. David Ross looks like another steal.Phillips is a stud.

Might go to the track with ya, who knows. I'll pmail you my number. I'll call Kid Kong about courses to play (he knows more), but I doubt he will be able to join us on a Monday. If you want to book a tee time some place, go for it.

hey Reds fans......if Krivsky calls up Homer Bailey, do they start him off in the rotaion or long relief? if he goes to the starting rotation who gets bumped from the rotation to the pen?
Bailey is now in Double A and I keep reading the Reds want to hold him off, but if he continues to impress, they might move him up sooner rather than later.

Krivsky has done NOTHING but impress Reds fans thus far. He and Bob C. are what this team has needed for a long, long time.That being said, I, as most Reds fans should, would want to hang Krivsky if Homer even sniffs anything above AA until mid-season next year. He is 2 years removed from high school and has yet to dominate at any level, nor show the consistency that I'd want to see from any kid they bring up that soon. Sure, Homer looked AWESOME in 3/4 of his starts in High-A ball this first half of the season, but the other 1/4 of his games (closer to 1/3 of his stats) he looked quite pedestrian.
As is, I'm not a big fan of his promotion to Chatanooga (AA) already, although his first start there was impressive. With the Reds track record of arm injuries w/ their pitching prospects (Gruler, Aramboles, Howington, amoung others), they should NOT rush Homer.
In fact, Homer's first half this season is still not as impressive as Howington's was a few years back and, when they rushed him, he blew out his arm and that was that. Homer is the best prospect we have in the minors. Please please please, coddle thy pitchers.
Jay Bruce, otoh, watch out for...and soon

Calling up Bailey means the Reds have to drop one of their stud relievers to make room on the 40 man roster.....
I really don't see him coming up until September callups, if then, unless he throws a couple of no-hitters down there.
If he does come up, it'll be to replace either May(s?) or Ramirez. One of those two is probably due to implode at some point.
The horrific nature of the bullpen is probably the only reason they aren't catching more heat for carrying three catchers all season.
I only caught a little of Pete on Furman's show, just the part where he picked Mike Schmidt as the best player he ever played with over Morgan or Bench and a few minutes after that.
ETA: Channel 12 sports girl announced that Edwin En-carsh-nash-ee-own is due to come off the DL. This isn't the one McAllister was saying was hot, is it? If so, then meh.

stinkin' Cardinals scored two in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Tribe.
it would be a minor miracle to see the Reds atop the Central at the all-star break.
