So much to say...

I really have so much that I want to talk about, but not much time to do it in...

I want to talk about last night's win, tonight's loss, the "attendance issue," Bronson Arroyo, David Ross, Bronson Arroyo and David Ross (I'm cooking up a good Fake News & Rumors story here!), defense... Really, there is a ton of stuff I could talk about tonight, but I need sleep more.

I will say that tonight's 6-5 loss to the Cubs, though freakin' tragic, didn't bother me as much as losses tend to do. I guess it was the comeback that almost tied up the game... I was acutally singing along with the radio on the way home, as opposed to my usual gloomy silence. Perhaps it was the fact that there were 41,000+ fans in attendance, and most of them were cheering for the Redlegs. That was niiiiice! ::shrug:: You can't win 'em all, but I say tomorrow we start another long streak of Ws.

Now I have to go check the status of Austin Kearns and his leg, and see exactly why RayRay was able to pinch hit tonight... I'm praying that it's because McCracken is gone, but I'm guessing that Edwin is on the DL... Yes, according to reds.com, Edwin has been placed on the DL. Well, ****. EdE is hurt, Austin had another freakish accident... I can only hope that Freelie is up for a few days in RF, because I don't think I can take a full game of McCracken complete with multiple at bats. I'll break something.

Oh! And what the heII was the whole pinch-run-Eric-Milton thing about!? Was there nobody else in the dugout who could run!? HE JUST HAD SURGERY ON HIS KNEE!!! LaRue can't hit, he might as well run... McCracken could have been the pinch runner... geez, Dent! Did this bother ANYONE ELSE? ...the guys behind me were like, "no way that's Milton. That's something Bob Boone would have done." Yes, it was Milton.

Narron is going to come back tomorrow and slap Bucky Dent, I can feel it.

Since the stadium was packed tonight, can we please please please stop it with the newspaper articles and the incessant post-game conversations about no one showing up? It was a THURSDAY NIGHT for ****'s sake! And, I'm ashamed to say that this matters, but Jimmy Buffet was in town, and for whatever reason, Cincinnatians flock to see him like he's the second coming of Christ. I was working, or I would have been there, it's as simple as that. I kept saying 'wait until tomorrow, wait until Saturday.' Guess what? SELL-OUT. Boo. Yah.

Thank you, that is all. Goodnight.

Go 'legs!
