Buster Olney is speculating that we are in first place.

First rec of the night.
Exam=over. Time for a big night on LGT without having to simultaneously read about crazies.

Also!
ILC is in the Bison lineup again tonight, though at DH. He only played in one of the games of the DH yesterday. Looks like they are taking it slow with his elbow.

I know when I was in Sweden I purchased so gum that was flavored “Salty Licorice”.
Not good.

I have to miss tonight’s game – any idea how long after the end of the game that it gets archived by mlb.TV?

Are there any good resources online to find minor league batter-vs-pitcher numbers?

Yeah feels like I haven’t been in an entire game thread for years.

All we need is for JoeBo’s arm to fall off and this could be the beginning of something legendary.

Wedge – possible that JoBo and Westbrook could be back next week (that is the optimistic version)

Every time we face the Reds in Cincinnati, I for some reason flashback to Cliff Lee hanging fastballs and getting clobbered a few years back.
And I now take solace that Cliff is now awesome.

I remember the Wickman implosion a couple years ago – I think Adam Dunn hit a grand slam off him.

I don’t like the way this Cueto kid wears his hat. STRAIGHTEN IT OUT

that idiot Cueto spells his name wrong. he puts the H after the O.

Yeah we had to figure Manny Marte wasn’t getting in there tonight, not too upset to be honest.

I always felt that James Earl Jones was a poor choice for playing Shredder. Wait, what?

Soup sounds like a good idea. On the other hand, going to the grocery store seems difficult.

I know a guy like that too. I’ve tried it. It’s all right, but not something I’d want to do on the regular.

So apparently I still haven’t learned to read game threads and listen to the game. Totally missed Sizemore’s flyout.

peralta was screwed there when they called low and away off the plate for strike two

Looch gets one day off, and it feels like we haven’t seen him in ages. I think this means I like him.

Reds on their third SS? Ouch. For us. that would be…Peralta to Cabrera to…Carrol?

Yet somehow, Hairston, through 45 ABs, thinks he’s Cal Ripken.

On paper, this should be a good pitching weekend. The Reds have their big three going.

Reds announcers called Phillips’ acquisition “one of the greatest trades of all times.”

Have we not figured this out after three years? Can we please stop letting Phillips beat us?

Geez, Brandon Phillips should team up with Joba to teach masterclasses on over-celebrating minor achievements.

What’d he do? I’ve got a radio on. Before I hear, I will say it’s pretty cool to hit a 2-run HR in the first inning against your IL rival.

We could use a little swagger like that, in my opinion. I know Wedge would prefer Casey Blake style, but I’ll take some attitude

That is not attitude, that is douchebaggery.

The bigger douchebaggery was the umpiring gifting those “non-strike” calls to Griffey just because he’s “Griffey” and Sowers is on the mound. Then, Votto steps up, and the same pitch that was twice a ball is called a strike.

And strolled the bases and clapped his hands repeatedly…it sounds silly to type it all, but visually it looked like he was celebrating having won a World Series game.

It was pretty over-the-top. He turned, flipped the bat, clapped his hands running the bases, the whole nine yards.

I do. In retaliation, the Indians pitchers should get him out.

He’s always had a little flair. I’m not sure skipping and throwing your bat 20 feet is necessary, but that’s his call.
