.....and that's exactly why we will

Our putrid approach and offense has no business scoring much agaisnt Jurrjens......but we will knock him out before he finishes the 6th inning. I don't know why.

Jurrjens wasn't sharp in his last outing. Got hit pretty hard by the Nationals.

Apparently there is some trade rumor floating around... Jonny Gomes for Brandon Beachy straight up.

It's going to be hot as hell at the ballpark tonight. And the Reds are going to get killed. But I'll be there.

44 inning streak of scoring 1 run or less in an inning. Last multiple run inning was the walkoff by BP.

And yet the team is 2-3 in that span.

Reds haven't won back to back games since they played the Dodgers in mid june. Don't figure that streak to end tonight. i am gonna bet the farm on vbookie.

WLW was talking about it yesterday...could Jonny Gomez....on Johnny Gomes bobblehead night, be a member of the braves?!?!??!


It has happened before where they have honored a player who happened to get traded before that promo, but I dont know if that player had ever played for the opposing team on that night.

They have to wait on the bobblehead first.....it sounds silly but this isn't an earth-shattering trade either

Would be horrible trade for Braves. Beachy would be Reds #3 starter. Gomes has no where to play when Chipper is back.

Sounds like a solid trade to me.

Lowe for Gomes is still too lopsided.

No Uggla or Schafer tonight for the Braves. Hinske in LF. Good thing there isn't a lot of ground to cover there.

Hmmm....punishment for the missed cut-off last game??

Lewis 5th?? I don't mind Lewis in there, but i'd switch him and Cairo.
