Further proof that I have too much time on my hands and REALLY need a significant other. :scared: :lol: ***GT asked if anyone wanted to list the 99 failed Cubs seasons, HENCE my waste of time. : )
April 17, 200818 yr Hard to say it, but the Reds really need to win today. Getting swept in two straight series within the division is pretty devasting.

April 17, 200818 yr CTR chimes in..... I'm not a panic guy, but this early, there are still some things you can do, if not to help the club win as much to make things cosmetically better. * It's only three starts, but it's two terrible starts and one OK one. Josh Fogg, thanks, but you're back to the bullpen. What I do differently than maybe some others, although Matt Belisle has thrown well in the minors, I do activate him, but he is a long reliever, paired with Jeremy Affeldt until Affeldt is ready to go 6 innings. We've seen Belisle and I think he has talent, but I'd rather have the lefty Affeldt in there. * Todd Coffey, you know the way to Louisville. Work on things. It's not your arm, it's your head. While you've got the door open, take Jared Burton with you. Both of you have the stuff, but get the other things ready to be big league late-inning pitchers. Burton skipped some minor league lessons as a Rule V pick last season, he could use them. * To fill the spot of Affeldt in the bullpen, bring up Bill Bray. Bray's got nothing left to prove in the minors. He's one of the best pitchers in the organization and is ready to help the big club. http://www.thelotd.com/ctrent I agree with the Coffey part. Ne needs to go. I also take Fogg out of the rotation, but I fill that spot with Bailey. I have no idea why he's being so hard on Burton. Burton pitched great last year, and has looked real good this year. He has one bad outing, and CTR is getting on him? I don't get that. I release Castro, and call up Hairston Jr, and Jolbert Cabrera. I also trade Hatteberg for whatever I can get out of him. Votto is going to hit, and we don't need to LH 1st basemen.
April 17, 200818 yr Reds go 3 up 3 down in the first. Lilly first pitch to Griffey was 82 mph, Reds got to beat this guy or least score some runs.
April 17, 200818 yr Meanwhile in St. Louis, Kyle Loshe has shutout the Brewers on 3 hits thru 6 innings, lowering his ERA to 0.77. Loshe has also knocked in 2 runs as the Cards lead the Brewers 3-0.
April 17, 200818 yr Got screw bigtime on that walk to lilly. I'm not sure what the ump is looking at.
April 17, 200818 yr Got screw bigtime on that walk to lilly. I'm not sure what the ump is looking at. I am not watching the game, but why in the world would he throw anything other than a fastball or changeup down the middle to Lilly with the bases loaded? Why would he even give a chance of a walk being called?
