A New Beginning?

[Friday133]

I know it was only the first game of the year, but still for a team that has had 14 straight losing seasons, that was a big win last night. Duke kept us close, good defense and timly hitting. LaRoche however didn't look too good last night, I thought Eldred was playing at times.

[Witlon]

Yeah, I missed the game due to prior commitments(OSU being in the Nat'l title game). But it's definately the way the season needed to start. McLouth and Bay bothing coming through in the clutch is the perfect way to start the year.

Ian Snell's not white?

Whoa

[Witlon]

Aaaaand X comes through again tonight and we're 2 for 2, with 2 comeback wins(against Wheeler and Lidge, too), not bad.

[redsrbetter]

Great start fellas! Nice winning. Nady did it all for you tonight. Then Snell fanning 11 in six innings? Where did he come from? WOW!

Excellent start to the season. Shut those critics up fellas!

[Friday133]

LaRoche is still a dissapointment though. He needs to get some hits tonight to stem the tide.

[Witlon]

Yeah, I forgot about LaRoche...flying out to center with 2 on and 1 out. Luckily Paulino and X bailed him out.

It's kind of early to be calling anyone a disappointment. Wait a month at least.

3-0! Time to break up the Bucs!

[Witlon]

Hey, Tom looked real good too, after a shaky spring. This team has me intrested early on. 3 games, 3 saves for Torres, too.

Who's going to the game on Monday? I'll be there in the old Monte Cristo club, I think its called Club 21 now.

Who's that guy, he sucks at writing.

Thanks a lot brownie.

Not a great game tonight fellas. The Pirate bats just were not in it tonight for some reason despite their past success against Belisle. Maybe it was a bit too cold for them and the Reds have been used to it the last few games? Not sure, but tough break tonight fellas.
