    As I said, Jocketty would call him up when he's ready. And the initial signs appear he was right.

    Too bad Homer didn't get the memo. Then we could have 4 young studs to build the franchise around. Homer's problem is the 6 inches between his ears!

    Have a great time Doppelganger. I think the lack of attendance last night was due to the weak marketing the Reds made with Bruce's debut. I bet many casual fans did not even know he was called up until just before game time. They should have announced he was called up and starting in CF as early as possible.

    I will be there late Saturday afternoon. And if Griffey his No. 599 tomorrow night, I might have to go on Friday night too. I will closely monitor Bruce.

    Awesome game, our seats were the first row behind the Reds dugout. Bruce is funny guy and has a good head on his shoulders. He made fun of himself by pretending to run out early again in front of Griffey like they tricked him into doing last night. He is something special with the bat, every time he makes contacts he hits it hard. Not bad in the field either, although you could tell he really wanted to use his arm tonight.

    But he's no Corey Patterson in the field.

    Re: Jay Bruce called up!

    And now I get to see Josh Fogg on Saturday.

    The good news is I expect he's a temporary option until someone else's called up. Unfortunately he has to be making the start when I go. Maybe he'll pull a miracle out of his cap and pitch well.

    i don't know.. i would hate to see Fogg have a great start which ends keeping him in the rotation for 2 or 3 more bad starts
