QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 12:08 AM) I swear to god if Freddy can't hold this lead. Ozzie will give him every chance to go 5 innings.

Kudos to Pods! He's so much better when he swings hard. Keep it going.

QUOTE(Heath @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 12:02 AM) Here's a pitcher you all probably lit up in Kansas City or Minnesota. Congrats on the win tonight. Sheesh. Garcia's on the mound....this game is far from over.

Anderson needs to get one of these runs in. Great job by the offense so far.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:59 PM) http://www.wcpo.com/news/2005/local/04/05/reds_arrest.html ? That's the least of it.

Shouldn't be bunting here.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:55 PM) What was Catfish doing? Hanging out with Jim Rice and Bert Campaneris.

QUOTE(Heath @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:53 PM) The Trib? Oh no.

QUOTE(Heath @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:49 PM) Here comes the Ryan Freel for Jon Garland rumors...... There's a particular industry in Chicago which would love that trade.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:48 PM) Damn that Pods. He shouldn't have listened to Cora. God he's so horrible. I say this respectfully, but that's the type of attitude that a certain someone has on this board, and it pisses people off.

Great to see some production from the bottom of the order in these NL games.

Good job Brian!!

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) Jesus, I hope he's injured and this isn't just the new 87 MPH Freddie. I have no reason to believe he's injured. I wish he was injured, and had to go on the DL though. I used to say there's no way his ERA will end up below 5. I'm beginning to think I should have said 6.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) How does this happened to a 29-year old during one offseason? It's quite suspicious.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) I don't even think Jphat can come up with anything positive to say about Freddy right now. He'll put out the quality start stat, don't worry.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:38 PM) 81 MPH? WTF Freddy. Hawk is really giving it to Freddo this is insane. It was a changeup.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:35 PM) Its ok though, remember people he has reinvited himself as a control/finesse pitcher! I think the only people that think that's going to work are the same people who think someone like Pods is awesome.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:35 PM) Get in the stands with a glove? Ohhh, sorry - I thought you said "how can anyone defend FOR Freddy Garcia?" Well done

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:34 PM) Unfortunately its not limited to the first anymore. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I often wonder how he ever gets anyone out.

Garcia is so f***ing terrible. He can't go on the DL soon enough. Where's the dumbasses arguing how many quality starts he has, etc.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 03:51 PM) Not really. He, again, had to go through the sorting out periods and let guys fall into their roles. It takes a while, but it's coming together now. Yeah, any manager would have had a tough time when there was only one reliable reliever. I think he's done a solid job with the bullpen.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 02:50 AM) How much better? At least a couple games better already -- or enough to put us in first place -- and one that would keep us in first. This isn't last year. Our offense has been very good basically all season. There's no excuse to switch up our 3-4-5....it's the best in baseball.

GREAT SERIES! Kudos to Ozzie for showing some class tonight.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 02:39 AM) btw guys, I wouldn't be surprised if last night's game was the start of a long losing streak. I'm Mr. Pessimism...but I couldn't believe some of the s*** I was reading last night. Someone compared it to the Hunter/Burke play. :banghead
