  I believe you are thinking backwards. If the guys in AAA can hit Homer, who is supposed to have dominant stuff, those singles will turn to doubles and home runs against the Yankees. Giving up 3 hits an inning clearly shows he doesn't quite have it yet.

  Wife and I are going. We just bought $5 seats so we won't show up til about 7:45 so that we can just go straight to the good seats.

  I'll be there, sitting in the bleachers with my bro-in-law and nephew.

  Many pitchers will tell you that stats in AAA are meaningless. Homer Bailey has been roughed up many, many times in AAA. Johnny Cueto got hit a bit in AAA and he's been the best pitcher in the NL for the last month. I'd be more interested in how they feel he's commanding and how his mechanics look. Often times guys on rehab starts will focus on a certain thing such as mechanics or locating a pitch, and their numbers will suffer because of it.

  If he leaves, he'll go to Toronto. He has a close relationship with his younger brother.

  it's easier this way, we go to 20+ games so we don't mind missing an inning, we'll be there by the bottom of the 2nd. discounted parking 2 blocks away for only $5 after 7:30. more time for yard work.

  I've found free motorcycle parking not too far from GABP.

  Yeah I know what you are saying, from a few reviews I've read he didn't have it though. He wasn't just pumping all fastballs. Homer has dominated at Louisville in the past. Cueto was just building up armstrength so that was a little different.

  I park for $5 right there on the other side of 50....walk along the river.....7 minutes walk in the shade.
  
  
  
  I understand....I just know that if I did that their would be 13 runs scored in the 1st inning and the 3 best defensive plays ever would happen. That's how I've rolled all my life...lol
  
  Enjoy the game! Reds have hit Jo Jo Reyes pretty hard 2 of teh 3 times they've faced him.....BP is 4/8

  Funny thing with the parking on old 52......where I park is $5.....literally 30 seconds of walking closer and it's $10.......ain't happening

  You can spend $50 on beer during any day at the park.

  Yeah my pregnant wife isn't walking that far when it's 80 degrees. When we go to games on time we park at the Chiquita Center, that's $5 all the time and about 3-4 blocks away.
