July 13, 200818 yr Only valid reason is because he earned it. Outside of that, I'm with you... He earned it. I applaud him and he gets his mug on national TV. I hope he then gets lost on the bench. Too important to the future of this team to have our team pride get in the way of our good judgment. I bet more people watch the lineups being announced than stick with the game.
July 13, 200818 yr Eric Milton has signed a minor league deal with the Yanks and should be ready to go in six weeks. LINK
July 13, 200818 yr Jerry Hairston Jr. rf Jeff Keppinger cc Adam Dunn lf Brandon Phillips 2b Edwin Encarnacion 3b Andy Phillips 1b Corey Patterson cf David Ross c Homer Bailey p Poor homer. :lol: He says he is throwing as well as he ever has guess we will see.
July 13, 200818 yr Patterson is 2-for-5 vs. Sabathia. "I figured if we win it would be a low-scoring game," Baker said. "I want that good defense in there." From John Fay...

Wow, don't understand this lineup. Chance to end the series picking up 3 games on a team in front of you, you have the all-star break afterwards and Jr., Bruce and Votto go to the bench. Lose this game and after picking up the first two games, only gaining 1 game on the Brewers does not seem like such a great feat.

Lose this game and after picking up the first two games, only gaining 1 game on the Brewers does not seem like such a great feat. I agree with getting as many righties as you can against CC. If Votto, Bruce, and Griffey were in the lineup the Reds would have little chance.
July 13, 200818 yr I can see sitting Bruce and possibly Griff but not Votto. Yep, if there is a lefty with hope against CC it is Votto.
July 13, 200818 yr Jay Bruce is 0-3 with 2 K's. Adam Dunn is 4-20 with 2 doubles & 7 K's against Sabathia. He did take him to the wall last time in Cleveland though. Edwin Encarnacion is 0-3 with a K. Ken Griffey Jr. is 4-16 with a double and 3 RBI. He's also struck out 5 times. Hairston Jr. is 7-23 with 2 doubles. Hatteberg has had some decent success against CC. He's 8-21 with 5 RBI and has drawn 4 walks. Keppinger is 1-3. Corey Patterson is 2-5 against CC, with a double and 2 K's. B-Phil is 3-10 against CC, with a K. David Ross is 2-7 with 2 HR (both solo shots), 2 BB & 2 K's. Javy Valentin is 0-2, and Joey Votto is 0-3 with a K. Barry Larkin was 0-3 against CC.
July 13, 200818 yr Well, this line-up doesn't give much hope for a sweep.??? CC Sabathia doesn't give much hope for a sweep. I think we'll be okay. If we can get a solid performance from Homer and get Sabathia out relatively early, I like our chances. The Reds have been playing good baseball recently.
July 13, 200818 yr You guys have to remember C.C. has lost more games than he has won so far this year. He has been as up and down as anyone. To write this off as an L already is crazy.
