August 5, 200620 yr Finally, the streak ends. OK, let's take the rest of this series and get back on track before St. Louis wakes up. Huge win IMO. We needed to get out of that funk.
August 5, 200620 yr Stros hang on in Phoenix. Lidge almost ble another one...bases were juiced with 2 outs, and he got pulled for Wheeler. Wheeler walked one in but got final out. Reds back in front of WC by a full game. However, with that being said, I have my sights set on St. Louis. Only 2 1/2 back. Someone once said, "Don't look back, someone might be gaining on you." If the Reds look back, there is a whole bunch of teams breathing down their necks.

August 5, 200620 yr Baseball guy made some tough calls tonight. I think that adds a lot to this win... Thats good to hear. He made good calls and they won.:sssh:
August 5, 200620 yr Thats good to hear. He made good calls and they won.:sssh: I didn't say they were good, just tough. Funny how a W changes the perspective for some (not you )...
August 5, 200620 yr I didn't say they were good, just tough. Funny how a W changes the perspective for some (not you )... I didn't even see the game. I was just speculating. I support Jerry and nearly everything he has done for this team.
August 5, 200620 yr I didn't even see the game. I was just speculating. I support Jerry and nearly everything he has done for this team. I'm right there with you. Bench Dunn. Put Clayton in the 2 spot with Deno in the lineup. PH Castro, and then double switch at 3B for E-5. Majewski/Cormier/Weathers with a big game on the line. These are the type of calls he's been killed for when they don't work. Let's just be glad they worked tonight... :banana:
August 5, 200620 yr 1. all-star slugger? I'll take 28 homers. If that's not playing up to his first year, I'm confused. 2. Lopez bad D? Not great but no discernable difference between him and Royce. No comparison offensively. 28 homers playing in GABP is not anything to get overly excited about. Bad D...how about making the routine plays, which Clayton does a little better. You have your opinion, I have mine...:thumb:
August 5, 200620 yr 2 HR's in last 7 at bats. 0 his previous 730.:scared: Thats crazy. Welcome to Great American Ball Park...
August 5, 200620 yr GREAT turn of the DP to close it out last night...couldn't post then because my internet was down...:mad:
August 5, 200620 yr 28 homers playing in GABP is not anything to get overly excited about. Bad D...how about making the routine plays, which Clayton does a little better. You have your opinion, I have mine...:thumb: IMO there is not much difference between Royce and Felipe defensively - routine plays or not. Before you scoff at AK's performance and write it off as GABP-aided, you should look to see if its true. Unfortunately for your thesis, it is not. His homers on the road are one less than at home.
August 5, 200620 yr Does it bother anyone else how these Fox commentators keep saying that Arroyo is "clearly the Reds ace?" Do they even follow baseball?
