[JHockey14]

my apologies for a lack of a GDT Sunday. I promise I am a die hard reds fan lol but as the hockey play offs continue with the bruins involved i can tend to get side tracked. anyways I will have updated line ups ASAP and a possible change in players to watch if their are any good ideas out there with a good argument and/or stats to back it ..... and this doesnt have to be a reds player, it can be a reds killer or an opposing player on a hot streak. as the board grows and evolves i hope in turn the game day threads will only get better and better. Lets get back to .500 and Go Reds!!!!!!!!!!

People get busy, no worries.

That said, I am holding you personally responsible for Cueto's mediocre performance....lol

Thanks for taking the time, it really improves the thread come game day.

haha i already put complete blame on myself. no excuses for tomorrow night though!

Glad to have the GDT back.

I love the pictures of the ballpark that you include and Wrigley is no exception. Say what you will about the Cubs, but I still think Wrigley is the best park around without contest.

Anyway, let's hope we get back on the winning track.

You do an excellent job on the GDT, but no one expects you to have to do it every single day. Kudo's for being as consistent as you have been.

At what point do you move EE or even Dunn down in the order if they don't start to hit? Votto's .300+ avg would work in teh 5 slot right now if Dunn isn't going to hit, or even in the leadoff spot and bat CPatt 5^th.

Generally, you give vets like Dunn or EE at least a month to work out their kinks.

Dunn is great at Wrigley, I expect a big series from Dunn, Junior and Edwin. They´re key to the offense.

[tmil23]

What happened to Soriano? Saw he got pinch hit for already...

[bkleo504]

Got hurt on Griff's fly ball.

Dempster's looking wild.

[Lark11]

Man, off and running already. Edwin taking care of business.

[tmil23]

Nice job by EE to drive in the run.

[Lark11]

Not good to see Harang get roughed up by the bottom of the order.

[bkleo504]

Lack of focus I guess...Dempster looks awful though so we should be in good shape.
