Reds at A's 6/18/2007 Calling on Providence and Diehard!

[Mario-Rijo]

let's go A's

I'm hoping for a repeat from the last time the Reds played in oaktown when we won 13 - 2, 10 - 6, and 17 - 8 in 2004.

Hey easy there P-A! I don't need reminded of that debacle.

[Providence A's]

Swisher gets a second pitch basehit to CF. Lohse looks easy to hit tonight.

that's what I like to see bro...nice to see Chavy back in the lineup as well. He was out the last 2 games.

Yeah I must read that book someday, it seems to be somewhat interesting and controversial. Seems like my kinda book.

Honestly, I loved it. But go into it with an open mind. It isn't the end-all way to go about things. But Beane seems like a brilliant mind. Very good theories that have proven to work.

Chavez walks. Bases loaded with one out.

Here we go...

Wouldn't go into it any other way bro!

[redsrbetter]

Flyout to Hamilton here would be great!

[redsrbetter]

Wouldn't go into it any other way bro!

Sounds like you are brilliant yourself then man. Good way to be.

NP Kyle!

yea, some people took it (and still do take it) too literally...the basic idea is finding what is undervalued at the time and exploiting that weakness in the market. At the time it was OBP and college players that played all 4 years for the draft. It's been defense, injury risk players like Frank Thomas and Milton Bradley, etc...I got the book and read it that summer after it was out...haven't read it since though.

[redsrbetter]

Full count changeup that lost all sense of gravity and Lohse gets him swinging! 2 outs

Nice pitch

[Mario-Rijo]

Wow, just shake it off Alex.

[Providence A's]

I'll take it...all the more sweeter since he played for the Red Sox last year...I despise the Red Sox.

[redsrbetter]

Gonzo boots yet another one. Are you kidding me! Routine play ends up giving them a run. UGH!

This signing definitely did not work out how it was imagined. 12th error of the year for Gonzo.

[Mario-Rijo]

Sounds like you are brilliant yourself then man. Good way to be.

I try, Thanks.

[redsrbetter]

Hey Provi, good luck tonight bro. As if you guys need luck. It was just given to you anyhow.

Whats up?
