June 20, 200818 yr The only time these teams have met in the regular season was at Cincinnati in June 2003 and the Yankees lost two of three games. Mussina (10-4, 3.87 ERA) lost his only career start against the Reds in 2003. Volquez (9-2, 1.64), the major league leader in ERA, strikeouts (105) and opponent batting average (.190). He’s 4-1 with a 1.50 ERA in seven road starts, striking out 54 in 43 2-3 innings. The Reds are coming off a 2-7 homestand during which they scored just 21 runs and hit .188, including 6-for-57 (.105) with runners in scoring position. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/preview?gid=280620110
June 20, 200818 yr I don't think Thompson will be intimidated by the Yanks, or by Yankee Stadium. He has made it to the big leagues, and what better way to get your 1st major league start than by facing the Yankees? I'm guessing that the kid is a competitor, and will take that out to the mound with him. Maybe Dick Pole should make him watch that classic scene from Hoosiers first.
June 20, 200818 yr Maybe Dick Pole should make him watch that classic scene from Hoosiers first. The one where a drunk Dennis Hopper stumbles onto the court and gets a technical?
June 20, 200818 yr Avoiding the question at hand? Adam Dunn last 30 games AB:82 Avg: .220 HRs: 7 RBI: 14 Runs: 15 BB : 29 SO: 34 Does that answer the question at hand? Only the BB equate to one of the magical 40/100/100 over a season. His immense inconsistency just kills this club. Seems like some GMs must think the same way.

June 21, 200818 yr Adam Dunn last 30 games AB:82 Avg: .220 HRs: 7 RBI: 14 Runs: 15 BB : 29 SO: 34 Does that answer the question at hand? Only the BB equate to one of the magical 40/100/100 over a season. No, that does not answer the question at hand. The question was: How many others in the league will hit 40 HR, drive in 100+ RBI and draw 100 walks? Showing Dunn's stats over the past 30 games does not answer the question, nor does it give an accurate representation of his season stats.
June 21, 200818 yr Volquez leaves an 0-2 changeup out over the middle and Cano drives it back up the middle. 4-2, Reds lead in the bottom of the 7th.
June 21, 200818 yr Anyone following the Reds anymore??? 4-2 Reds and Voltron after 7. I am & will continue to do so. The season is still young. A little surprised to see Mussina go back out for the 8th, although he has pitched well.
June 21, 200818 yr I am, Volquez is so so good. I am getting ready for Vacation. Send me out a winner guys.
June 21, 200818 yr Anyone following the Reds anymore??? 4-2 Reds and Voltron after 7. Yep, still try and watch them everyday. I got a chance to get to GABP to see the Sunday game against the Red Sox. Just not a lot to say that hasn't already been said, this team is playing for next year and it will be nice that we will get a good long look at Bruce and Votto. Voltron is a nice surprise and maybe after the trade deadline, we can get a few more looks at other young players.
June 21, 200818 yr Edinson is at 103 pitches. I think Dusty bring in Burton. At least I hope. He still looked good though throwing his fastball at 96 to Cano in the 2nd last at bat that inning.
