Of course why would your team bat a young rookie hitting .208 4th in your lineup?

I like DRH because I met him a couple years ago and he's a really cool guy...but I really want D-Will up to see what he can do.

Dontrelle is on the DL or it probably would be him.

I dont know. But Acta hasnt changed the line-up at all, all year. Dusty changes it all the time, and it never seems to make sense. I would get it if he didnt alter his line-up and it didnt make sense (like Santana at 4), but he does change it, and he still makes no sense with it.

...and why are we talking about Santana again? Most Indians fans want him moved down to about 6 in the line-up, it makes no sense to keep Carlos at 4 other than they are winning so why change it. Acta hasnt moved anyone around at all (minus DL induced changes).

Edgar was given permission by Dusty to be "late" today.

Good so far....rain fell earlier today but looks like the game will be played. 10-20% chance of rain during game time.

This is really really unreal. Ive never seen a team give up so many first inning runs. And philly has been horrrrrible at the plate. No better thing for them then to see the reds.

He gives up his fair share. If he isn't on, teams can/will tee off on him.


See his last few visits to Toronto.

Good play by Votto to end the inning that ball took a tough hop.

Did hoops23 get mad about something during the series with the Indians?

I just hope we ship Blanton somewhere or he stays on the DL longer....Vance Worley would be great to be a 5th starter.

I just don't see the Reds hitting ANY of this Phillies pitchers.

It's going to be a long night and an even longer series, IMO. Which really sucks. Although, the Cards are out in San Diego. Which is a tough place to play, even though the Dads suck.
