Simmons believes that if a guy doesn't try hard and doesn't succeed in college, then he probably won't try hard or succeed in the Pros, and that...
Foye isn't bad, but we need good passers and shooters. By all accounts the other available guards seem to be better passers and shooters, even if...
I love WIlbon's commentary, but keep in mind he's a huge Cubs fan, so he has to mention Santo. Jim Rice was very good, but if he had played for...
I remember when we had the best bullpen in the majors..... Funny how continually getting rid of top closers has led us to having one of the...
Taveras with the power!
Lamb played first last night with Berkman in left, and is playing first again tonight. I think he was too much of a defensive liability to play...
So Mike Lamb is now the answer at 1st base, when he couldn't even win the 3rd base job last year? It's so sad watching Bagwell go down like...
Only Ensberg and Biggio are hitting better meaning he's a downright godsend!
I agree. Obviously we won't be making the playoffs this year, but if we spend the year getting Taveras and Lane plenty of starts then it at least...

Cheer up, Reds just gave up 10 runs in the first inning to the Dodgers. So by comparison we are an elite team.... :D
With that 3 Run Homer, this is becoming a lot like last night...
Tonight's Lineup is Interesting: W. Taveras C. Biggio L. Berkman M. Lamb M. Ensberg J. Lane rf A. Everett ss R. Chavez c R....
Maybe Backe shouldn't be pitching so soon after that flu he had....
The TBS guys said Berkman might play some first? That makes perfect sense actually, given our first base issues and his healing ACL.
