Raffi!

Was Lohse going to be expensive to resign.. or were we just not interested in resigning him because of his inconsistency?

Why else do you think I am with her?

My girlfriend's season tickets are 1st row, 50 yard line, Bengals side.:jump:

Is it just me, or does Pete Rose give a great interview? He is sharing more knowledge about the team than the broadcasters have all year.

I say, that anyone who thinks that God is real or not, may or may not be somewhat right.

:fight:

You all want to get together? Maybe play some poker or something?

"Baby got Back"

I cna't believe these guys are afcutally gay. How weird.

Thank you, Camel.

Encarnacion on defense...WOW!

Plus USC is going to to have a two-year home and home with Ohio State starting next year, which will make their schedule even tougher.

Sure did. Not much fun having J. Garland on my fantasy team today. 3 innings, 11 earned runs. And, malachi, did you just see that hit by Hamilton? And that speed to tag up to 3rd on a fly to left?

Stephen Drew. Web gem of the night in MLB...

Nice play by E5 and Hatte there to save a run.

Who needs speed when you just have to jog around the bases?

This lineup is a different formula. Narron rarely ever used Hamilton in the leadoff spot. It was Freel up until the end of May, and we saw how that worked out. Hopper leading off was not a success either. So this Hamilton "formula" just may be the answer.

No but it's not like any of those other guys are going to be replaced by Freel or Hopper, unless you play Freel at 2nd or 3rd. Or are you saying you'd like an OF of Freel, Griffey, Hamilton? Dunn, Freel, Hamilton? I just don't see how you can not single out Hamilton with your statement, and reasonably expect to get Freel or Hopper in there.

They have to get on to be disruptive with their speed, and Hamilton is not that much slower than them at all. His plate production more than makes up for whatever speed differential there might be between him and Freel/Hopper.

Exchange Harang for Lohse and I'd say this is the best lineup we can field.

Doesn't seem like this Mackanin guy is much of one, either...

This is who I want more than anyone... why is his name never in the picture?

All I'm saying is that I seriously doubt fans of the majority of teams would treat Dunn the way we have. It's almost like it's cool to hate Dunn.... It seems like a few years ago most people liked him, while there were a few critiques who couldn't stand his style of play. Then we started losing and the cliche thing to say about Dunn is that he is lazy and never hustles. Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe he's doing his best in the field? I mean, I seriously doubt Dunn makes decisions in the middle of a game (play) like "You know what, I don't feel like hustling after this ball". And on the basepaths... guys who actually run out routine ground balls are few and far between.... people just love to rip on Dunn for stuff like that because it's become the normal thing to do in Cincinnati. I'm not saying it's ok for Dunn to not hustle, if he is in fact purposefully not hustling, I just think he is extremly demotivated playing for Cincinnati fans and we will be sorry when he is in another city that loves him putting up the same power numbers that he has here. The guy has taken a lot of abuse in Cinncinati and has never once shown a bad attitude or caused any problems. I believe he deserves some credit just for that....
