Sorry for the late game thread. I’ve been busy, and it appears that none of the other slackers here at RN are capable of posting a game thread. 🙂
So it’s up to me. Reds are up 3-1 now on the strength of a moon shot by Wily Mo and a two-run HR by Randa.
Milton’s about to blow it. 3-2 now, with runners at the corners and no outs.
I told you so. Grand slam.
at halftime is the Buccaneers 7, Bengals 3.
(sarcasticly looking forward to going down tommorrow night – but I am going to the HOF & hopefully eating at the Machine Room –
You’re not going to turn this season around using players like L. Lopez and Romano. I just don’t get it.
As for Milton. What choice does Miley have? The Reds paid millions for that guy. O’Brien to thank there. There’s no way they are going to eat another big contract.
It just occurred to me (cause I’m slow) that because of the contracts of guys like Graves, Jimenez, Milton, Ortiz, et al, after the all star break the Reds will probably start theyre anual paring down of the payroll. Milton and Ortiz will have no trade value at all. We’ll be stuck with them. Guys like Randa, Griffey, Kearns, and dare I say Dunn are going to be likely trade bait for some AA prospect. I can’t think of any of these so called prospects that have worked out in the past. Can You? Man, this is depressing.
Dare I say it. Tampa Bay’s bullpen is almost as bad as Cincy’s.
We need to have Wily Mo Pena bobblehead night every single night of the year.
Go WMP. He’s strong like bull!!!!! I love this guy!
Wily Mo…..welcome back, we’ve missed you.
That was impressive. Did Griff and Willy Mo pull the fat out of the fire, or what.
Greg,
You are right on the money. Gullett doesn’t have a leg to stand on. His pitching staffs have beeen awful and they have been awful for quite awhile. It didn’t just start this season.
Nice to see the boys come back and win that one last night. Now that the Reds have won both games with Wily Mo back, it makes me wonder what their record is with him in the lineup vs. not.
It definitely seems to have jump-started the offense in the last couple of games, granted it is against a horrible Tampa Bay pitching staff.
Yep, Willy Mo gets benched tonight. I’m sure of it. I was hoping to see WMP & Harang…now I’ll get Luke Hudson & Jacob Cruz because Kearns isn’t getting a shot. 🙄
Maybe we could rename this forum Willy Mo’s Redleg Nation.
