    Good move conceptually. Vogelsong has been nails lately.
    I can't believe I would have ever written that second sentence.

    If they're going with a "Damn the defense, full speed ahead" mentality, WTF is Skip doing back in the lineup?

    Even including the '98 Marlins, that might be the worst lineup I've ever seen from a defending WS champion.

    an attempt at a serious answer:

    TK suggested that Skip and Tony are on a break.  AP's assessment was that even La Russa can see this isn't working out.  I have been out of the news loop, but haven't run across anything that confirms any of this. 

    My hunch is that if Franklin needs to play himself out of a position, then Schu does, too.  Loyalty trumps performance, for a while, at least.

    Gotta get his hot bat in the lineup. Plus, he's hitting .210/.269/.323 off righties this season.

    Interesting 1-1 game: the Giants' pitcher has an RBI and the Cardinals' pitcher has a run.

    Re: 5/31 game crap

    Tonight's trivia, from FS Reds:

    There are three active pitchers who have hit a home run whilst playing for a team in each league. I'll give you C.C. Sabathia. Who are the other two?

    I'm really beginning to dislike Trever Miller.

    Oh look. Skip Schumaker made an out. Go figure.

    I guess that makes it tough for him to have been one of the other two.

    I'll bet you guys who were critical of Ryan Franklin are feeling a little foolish right now.
    Best fans in baseball, my foot.

    Only in the sense of him being one of the correct answers.
    Another hint: One of them is (or was) pitching tonight. The other is ... not.

    Berman: Romo would be a closer on most teams.

    Sutcliffe: The Cardinals included.


    Funny, that's exactly what the Cardinals' closers looked like for the first 3 weeks of the season.

    Since you said it was Reds broadcasters, how about Arroyo.

    I was about to post leaving in the lefty to face Craig is a mistake. He's been hitting seeds.

    well, because they often link these to the teams that are playing i would have guessed chris carpenter, but the hint helped solidify that guess.

    for the other one i would guess fergie jenkins.

    "how about Arroyo.'

    I'll have to look it up, but I think all of Arroyo's homers have come against the Cubs, as a member of the Reds.


    ... 5 career homers, all with the Reds. Two vs. Cubs, one apiece vs. Giants, Dodgers and Cards. He took Pineiro deep in 2008.

    Like I said earlier, Schu is instant offense.
