Go O's!

Pitching is getting better, (not to mention CC and Nova are both currently on pace for 20 win seasons) and the offense may finally be starting to awaken. Cano has been turning it on, and I actually am getting some good feeling from A Rod. Jeter is still a hitting machine and the Grandy Man is on pace for over 45 home runs. Hope it maintains and continues to improve! I didn't watch too many of the games earlier on in the season. I was just getting too frustrated.  As of late however, I am starting to like what I see. Sweeping the Mets is always a treat.   Well it's nothing new. Honestly I can barely muster the will power to watch the first 2 months (which continued this year). They always start so damn slow.

Add to that the 1-hitter thrpwn by the Mets knuckleballer last night.  The Mets are appealing to have the 1 hit changed to an error.  That would be kind of an anticlimatic way to get credited with a no-hitter, but to have two of them in one night would be pretty crazy.

Haha yeah it would, but more than weird...it'd feel a bit tainted ya know? Like yeeeaah you needed an appeal, (unless it's clearly definitive, like the guy that got robbed of the perfect game a couple of years ago).
Funny though RA Dickey is currently tied for the most wins in MLB. 10-1 he's never been this good before! Imagine if this keeps up and he finishes 24 wins

2nd perfect game of the season.

Ended up selling my tickets for today's game with Verlander pitching.  We were really hoping to make some pretty good money on Stub Hub, with the Yankees in town and Verlander pitching but as usual, Stub Hub has sold us a dream that they cannot maintain.    When Stub Hub first came out, it did a pretty decent job for selling our tickets for games that we couldn't attend, but these days we are usually just better off getting the Goodwill that comes from giving the tickets away to friends, family, and complete strangers.  Sadly, with the signing of Prince Fielder, season ticket sales increased significantly mostly for the express purpose of people trying to make money selling their tickets on Stub Hub.

Had a nice walk-off HR against the Braves last night, and now we're only 1 game back from those awful Cards! 

Still want to be playing my Reds, Brian?

Ohhhh BTW.......Last week I was in Chicago on business and got to go to my first Cubs game @ Wrigley Field. WOW!! What a treat that field is, everything I expected. And as a bonus I was at Kerry Wood's last mound appearance......That was very cool to see his kid come running on the field and give his dad a hug.

The Tigers are becoming an embarrassment.  Based loaded and 2 out with Cabrera at the plate and he grounds out.  Next inning, bases loaded with 0 outs, and they score 0 runs.  Next inning, the Indians get 2nd and 3rd with 1 out and Fielder throws away the routine out at the plate.  End of May and our number 2 pitcher has 0 wins and no run support.

Phils are just sad.
