Always enjoy when the bald eagle flies in from the boat in Center Field.

 

Attendance in the upper deck is looking pretty darn rough for the weekend. Guess the tote bag just doesn't get it done for the fans lol.

I'll be there on Saturday. Hopefully the weather doesn't make it a wash out.

Fingers crossed for Saturday & Sunday.

 

My hope is we were supposed to have a lot of rain this past weekend and it wound up being great weather.

Reds rolling, up 5 to 0 in the 4th.

Is anyone else reminded of a cocker spaniel when Jason Werth is batting?

[MJAlltheWay24]

Nice to see the bats stay hot tonight. Makes it a lot more enjoyable to work.

Reds win again

Have not been impressed with the Nats day-to-day lineup. When Harper is quiet this is not a very good looking offensive team. Wonder what the Nats fans think of the toothpick's bench. Noticed Heisey there hitting .220. It's a good thing they have a team era of 3.01.

Leadoff has been a problem. Revere was hurt to start the season and has been awful since returning. Zimmerman has been "un-clutch" when Harper was on fire and everyone was walking him. Werth is old & ineffective but still plays b/c of the toothpick's loyalty and because he is apparently the "clubhouse guy" everyone respects. Espinoza is at the Mendoza line and will be replaced by Trea Turner eventually. Murphy is "Babe Ruth" and providing much more than anyone could have hoped for. If he returns to the back of his baseball card, they will have to pick up the slack somewhere else.

 

Rotation is very strong. Bullpen is good but unproven and Papelbon is "unpredictable" in the closer role.

The first rain delay mightve been the shortest I have seen.

 

Thanks for buying a beer UKMF!

Iglesias coming back off DL to the bullpen, why?

Reds are back to their old ways today. Pitching from behind and terrible defense. Wasn"t a great throw bur Barnhart has to catch that throw home. Votto swinging at butterflies again. It was fun while it lasted.

Just when I gave up, I flipped it back and the Reds had made a comeback and was going to win it in the ninth, and they scored a run and had the bases loaded with no out and DuVall up. I thought new Reds but DuVall popped up on first pitch, Cozart struck out and DeJesus flied out. Nobody can snag defeat from the jaws of victory like this team.

Thought they might be able to pull it out in the 9th today. Good weeked considering the forecast before it started.
