Dave Williams is 2-2!?
Dave Williams should say a prayer to whatever higher power he gives praise to because he lucked out tonight.
I completely missed this game because I was at work, and I was unable to even listen to more than 20% of it because I was training a new empolyee, but I did get to hear the bottom of the ninth, and the Hall of Famer's call that inspired the name of this very blog... There is nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, like hearing Marty Brennaman shout "And this one belongs to the Reds!" when the game was on the line like it was this afternoon. It's one of those things that sends shivers down my spine, and reminds me why I love baseball.
So Williams pitched another mediocre game, but fortunately for him the bats came ALIVE! Four homers by four different Reds, doubles galore... Yay!
I'm done writing about it, I'm going to go watch it now.
Everyone enjoy the off day tomorrow, the luncheon is Tuesday, and the Nats are in town for a three-game series starting Tuesday night.
Go Reds!

The post-TiVo portion of my entry:
Observations:
- Austin Kearns is a machine. I've said before how good he is, and there he goes. There he goes again. (It's not how good "I think" he is, but how good he is... because he is that good. Yes, my weird sentence makes sense.)
- Errors are a problem. Bucky "Bleeping" Dent better get some of those guys out there a good twelve hours before the games begin for a lot of infield.
- What is it about that elusive third out, or the elusive third strike, even?
- Todd Java is my hero. When is the last time a Reds pitcher has had an ERA under .50, while leading the 'pen in appearances, over a month into the season? Someone get me the stats on that - I'm too lazy to look it up!
I sure hope the Phillies cool off a bit before they come into town for the weekend series... if not, well, I know a team that might just provide a wall for them to run into. :)
Later, kiddies... As always, feel free to let me know if you disagree with anything I have to say. If you actually agree, let me know how right I am!</EDIT>

Dave Williams for Assignment Designee 2006!
Hopefully the Phillies will use up all of their wins before visiting.
Hey, just wanted to let you know, if you want cute little Homer to fit into your side bar, email me and I'll tell you how. If he's hanging out like that, some people may have trouble viewing your blog. I just checked it out in IE and your sidebar goes all the way to the bottom. (No problem in Firefox.)
Oh, by the way, you don't need to feed him - I already gave him a strawberry. ;) (I have a pet named Demguin on another blog. Maybe they can meet some time.)
