Playing the Astros, so WIN.

[liveforoctober]

Welcome back GoGo. Do your thing.

[thablingster]

I want to see Carlos Gomez in his full cowboy get up. Corey Hart was hilarious, vest and all.

 

1-0 for Sunday, gentlemen.

[wOOgiE22]

This team is hilarious! Corey Hart can rock the cowboy look!

[liveforoctober]

Nice. Atta boy Braun. Run down that batting title...

[brucrustu]

2 things.

 

Corey had that get-up packed before this was a plan, and really? Y'all wanna wear sweep suits? Not good buddy.

[owbc]

I don't think the sweep suits doomed the 2001 Brewers, that team had no pitching and it was a miracle they even made it to June with a winning record.

[hawing]

Oh man, Corey looks just a little too right in that cowboy gear.

[Raw Biz]

I'm so sick of Yuni. First it took him forever to get to that ball and then a horrible throw. He better not be back next year, anyone should be better than him.

[ramssuperbowl99]

Classic Yuni. It's almost comical.

[Funketown]

In Yuni's defense, games against the Astros are far more competitive when they have 28-30 outs to work with.

 

It's nice to see Lucroy getting in on this action.

[ramssuperbowl99]

Reds up 2-1 on the Cardinals. Reds got an Edgar Renteria 2 R HR and the Cards got a solo shot from Jon Jay.

Bronson Arroyo's up, so the Reds probably need to score a fair bit more to pull out a W.

[Crew2323]

I don't understand the rush to play Yuni so soon after the elbow of his throwing arm got drilled. Do they really feel he's that important to this teams success? Just give him a couple days off. Heck, give him a couple weeks.

Fixed.

At this point the alternative is Counsell or Wilson, which if you can't have the platoon advantage isn't exactly great. If Rickie was back, Hairston's been playing well enough he could porabaly shoe horn in some more playing time at this point.

[Schlitz001]

Nice throw by Corporan. Bad start by Braun.

I would be fine with Counsell/Wilson until Weeks is back. Actually, I'd rather put Green at 2nd and Hairston at SS. That defense can't be any worse than Yuni/Hairston and the offense would be a lot better.

[liveforoctober]

Braun's 2-2 puts him up to .333 and in a tie with Reyes.

[Schlitz001]

Bogusevic just struck out on a Marcum knuckleball. It didn't have a lot of tumble, but enough to finish off a 12 pitch AB.

[davego]

Corey really has hit well in the leadoff spot. I wonder if it is more then random convergence?

[ramssuperbowl99]

Classic Yuni. It's almost comical.

 

Also, Marcum pitcher very well through 5.

I didn't mention the magic word, though!

Braun blooping his way to a batting title and an MVP...you go Ryan!!!
