August 30, 200620 yr I'll take all of this over "The Reds are still playing?" theory of the Dan O' and Leather Pants era... Of course. For some reason, though, fans aren't excited about this team. As long as this team has sucked - now they are decent and in contention and the fans still don't show up. Must be those dang negative posts on the dreaded message boards.
August 30, 200620 yr ....now they are decent and in contention and the fans still don't show up.I've about wondered, the lack of attendance at GABP. Does any reason, other than the play on the field exists. Prices, families involved with their own, MLB has lost appeal of fans, other, more or a combination....thoughts?

August 30, 200620 yr http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060830/SPT04/608300383/1071 The Reds also could slide prospect Homer Bailey into that spot. Krivsky saw Bailey throw for the first time since spring training Monday at Double-A Chattanooga. "He threw all three pitches," Krivsky said. "He changed speeds. He had his delivery under control." The numbers were typical Bailey: six innings of two-hit shutout ball, no walks, eight strikeouts. He's 7-0 with a 1.06 ERA in 12 starts for Chattanooga. Bailey, a 20-year-old right-hander, is still under consideration for a September call-up. Krivsky wouldn't say Tuesday if that will happen. "We haven't made that decision," he said. Bailey doesn't have to be up by Sept. 1 to be added to the playoff roster. Because the Reds have pitchers on the disabled list, they can add any pitcher in the organization to the playoff roster. They didn't have any position players on the DL, so Denorfia had to be up before Friday to be eligible One of the thoughts on Homer was he just threw the ball hard. WK seems to have indicated that he is not just a 98 MPH pitcher anymore. And those stats at AA is past being good and dominating.

Plus, between my daughter's golf schedule and my son's baseball schedule, I don't have a lot of free time to go. Ten-twenty years ago, children's sports schedules were not this cramped.

August 30, 200620 yr Screw it. Bring the kid up and let's give him the #5 spot... If they weren't in a playoff race, would they bring him up on Sept 1st.
August 30, 200620 yr If they weren't in a playoff race, would they bring him up on Sept 1st. Most likely...

August 30, 200620 yr Screw it. Bring the kid up and let's give him the #5 spot... Whether they do it or not...It's a bad idea, IMO. I think I'm on record saying this...somewhere.

August 30, 200620 yr Krivsky saying that he's not sure yet is a 180 degree turn from his season-long stance .
