Reds vs Phillies 5-15

[Slyder]

Double by Dunn, 2nd and 3rd and no outs. I expect an IBB to Kearns and face the bottom of the lineup. But probably not with the changing pitchers, I know Id risk DJ with the bases loaded if i were Philly.

[Slyder]

Single by Bergolla. Now its up to the top of the lineup.

[Slyder]

Walk by Freel first and second 0 outs. Lopez up. We just need a hit, dont try and kill it Lopez.

[Slyder]

GB FC by Lopez, upto Casey and Griffey now. Casey hit it in the air please no ground balls.

[Slyder]

Casey Singles, Lopez moves to third (catcher indifference), and Griff hits a Sac Fly. Dunn up. 4-3.

[Slyder]

Love to see dunn hit a gapper right now.

Dunn Ks looking... Game Over.

MVP: Ramirez.

Wheres LaRue??? Im getting tired of seeing him and Valentin rotating just about every other day. This is Ramirez's first start as a red give him the guy who is the usual starter to call the games!

I think Valentin started today b/c Lizard speaks very little english so Valentin can communicate better with him than LaRue.

Good game even though we lost.

I will have a longer report later on, but let me say that Ramirez looked good. He changed speeds well and his stuff(especially his curve) seemed to have a lot of bite to it. He looked confident and other than a couple of mistakes, he pitched a very good game. I think he could potentially make it as a 5th starter type pitcher. That final run given up on the low throw by Lopez that bounced away ended up being huge.

Griffey looked back and saw us at our seats and I kinda looked/nodded to him. I boooood Jimenez a bit after blowing it early in the game and I yelled at Miley for a couple of things. Good game, have some pics I should have ready tomorrow or Tuesday and will discuss some more things about it later.

Cool CRF. Glad you had a good time. How is the Phils park? Is it really nice or what. I saw the outside of it at the Eagles game this year, but how is it on the inside? I am sure its better than Great American.

I like the park. I actually think GABP is nicer though. It actually looks fairly similar to GABP, but the river view/smokestacks at GABP put it ahead of Citizens Bank.

Hmm interesting. Thanks for the update CRF. I appreciate it.

I just watched the ''Lizards''K's on the MLB site,and man he has some good stuff,nice breaking ball,and he seems to keep the fastball down.This guy better get another start,could be the spark we need in the pitching staff.

[redsrbetter]

Yeah thanks for the update CRF! I was not able to hear your boos, but I bet you enjoyed it. Can't wait to see your pics of all this.

Well, here are the pics. They didn't turn out overly well since the camera wasn't the best in the world and I had to make them very small to fit here, but here goes a just a few:
