« Heading Out | Happenings »

Alright, not only have I not called a series correctly, but I have to adopt a new team. I’ll reserve that until these last two NL ones are done.

The Reds sent six players to the Arizona Fall League this year. Three pitchers (Daylan Childress, Dustin Moseley, and Todd Coffey), first basemen Jesse Gutierrez, second basemen Kevin Howard, and catcher Brian Peterson. The official Cincinnati Reds website has a nice story here and hopefully all these guys learn a thing or two while playing for the Scottsdale Scorpions (what a cool name).

The Cards and the Dodgers are tied 1-1 in the second. The plate cam shot they keep showing is growing old, very quickly.

I have a queston to my millions and millions of fans. What is worse, having a season like the Reds had this year, or having a season like Boston had last year? So close, yet not quite good enough. I remember 1990, and it was very cool. But the the last time the Reds made it and didn’t win it was the year I turned one year old. Sure they won the division in 1995, but the Braves were the team in the NL back then, so it wasn’t a surpise the Reds got knocked down.

One of my favorite websites is Baseball Almanac.
I was sifting through the Reds page, checking out the little factoids. The Reds had six MVPs in the 1970s. That’s six out of the ten years, and you had four different players. No Cy Young winners though, and a pitcher’s number has never been retired. Here’s your chance Claussen!!!

The ALCS and NLCS both start up this week. if they’re anything like the Division Series have been, we’re in for some great baseball. I wonder if a study has been done on the percentage of playoff games going into extra innings compared to the percentage in the regular season. Maybe it’s just because they get so much attention, but it seems like there’s more in the playoffs, which makes for some HIGH DRAMA!!

Finally, I talked to Brian, and apparantly the amount of money we’ve raised since I announced my call to arms hasn’t quite gotten us to our goal. The amount of money that’s been raised is still measured in cents. But you still have a chance to make a difference. It’s easier then voting, because you don’t have to leave your house, and unlike November, we all win!!!!

Cards are now on top 2-1. Too bad all the Dodger’s pitchers couldn’t be like Jose Lima. We could all use a little more “Lima Time.”
