Thread: where's Austin?

  1. #1

    where's Austin?

    i'm not trying to pry to much into these guys lives, and certainly it seems we have enough outfielders to not miss him too much (hint hint DanO), but what's the deal with Austin Kearns missing the last couple of games to attend to a personal matter?

    I hope all is well, in the end, it's just a game. But it's pretty weird.

    I think it has to do with his dad's health. He apparently has had some health issues over the last couple of years.

    Lancaster reports on his blog:

    PITTSBURGH -- Been a celebratory week in the Reds family, which has grown by two since Monday.

    Austin Kearns will be back with the team tonight as the proud father of Aubrey Ryan Kearns, born Tuesday in Lexington. New mother Abby is reportedly doing fine.

    Aubrey's arrival came a day after Reds trainer Mark Mann welcomed son Miller Marc Mann into the world in Cincinnati. Can't wait to congratulate Mark and Michele on their wise choice in spelling.

    Jesus, they couldn't say it was because he was having a kid earlier? I thought he was just being a pissy little tightwad about something.

    I think this was a surprise to many. I didn't even hear anything about this before now.

    I don't think Austin is married... so that's probably part of the reason.

    I imagine it is. Most probably wouldn't have expected him to be having kids prior to marriage. Good point Cincy.
