Okay - that’s as far as my 12th grade Spanish will get me. Capping an otherwise forgettable series, the Reds stole a game today from Arizona off their closer in the 9th. I took an unscheduled nap this afternoon in the 8th inning and witnessed the following through groggy eyes:
SLEEPING - Wake up and Ryan Freel throws out a runner at the plate.
SLEEPING (with cat under arm) - Wake up and Scott Hatteberg hits a 2-run HR.
SLEEPING (small amount of drool now) - Wake up and Javier Valentin is crossing home plate and getting mugged.
UNCONSCIOUS SLEEP - Wake up and Barry Bonds just hit HR 715.
What productive sleep! When I retire in 35 years and can take naps all day between applesauce and Matlock, the Reds will have the first ever undefeated baseball season!
- The comeback win allowed the Reds to steal a game back from the red-hot Cardinals. Just 4 games out - that can easily be made up in one series.
- Interesting footnote - Chris Carpenter went on the DL today. You have to think that the Reds can start to sneak back into contention while the Cards’ number 1 starter is down.
- Wily Mo Peña also went on the DL today. How can Bob Castellini look John Henry (Red Sox) in the eye at the owners meetings this year without cracking up?
- Chris Hammond was actually throwing filth on the mound today. He made the hitters he faced look foolish. After the start to the season he had, who would have thunk it?
- The Reds are 10-14 in the month of May. Let’s get to June already.
- I don’t want the Cubs to break out of their funk against the ‘natti. Please - anything but that. It will just depress me.
