  Aint beatin no Jurrjens
• Ironman92

  

  .....and that's exactly why we will
  
  Our putrid approach and offense has no business scoring much agaisnt Jurrjens......but we will knock him out before he finishes the 6th inning. I don't know why.

  Jurrjens wasn't sharp in his last outing. Got hit pretty hard by the Nationals.
• Tiger2003

  

  Go Reds!
• karen lotz

  

  Apparently there is some trade rumor floating around... Jonny Gomes for Brandon Beachy straight up.
• justincredible

  

  It's going to be hot as hell at the ballpark tonight. And the Reds are going to get killed. But I'll be there.
• karen lotz

  

  Reds win 5-3.
• thavoice

  44 inning streak of scoring 1 run or less in an inning. Last multiple run inning was the walkoff by BP.
  
  And yet the team is 2-3 in that span.

  Reds haven't won back to back games since they played the Dodgers in mid june. Don't figure that streak to end tonight. i am gonna bet the farm on vbookie.
• wildcats20

  

  Braves will sweep.
• Ironman92

  

  ....but are hard to beat with Heisey and Renteria leading off! Right justin?

  WLW was talking about it yesterday...could Jonny Gomez....on Johnny Gomes bobblehead night, be a member of the braves?!?!??!
  
  
  It has happened before where they have honored a player who happened to get traded before that promo, but I dont know if that player had ever played for the opposing team on that night.
• Ironman92

  

  They have to wait on the bobblehead first.....it sounds silly but this isn't an earth-shattering trade either
• Ironman92

  

  vbookie thread open...play hard, play often

  Would be horrible trade for Braves. Beachy would be Reds #3 starter. Gomes has no where to play when Chipper is back.

  Sounds like a solid trade to me.
• karen lotz

  

  Lowe for Gomes is still too lopsided.
• Ironman92

  

  duh on the horrible trade....I didn't start the rumor
• Ironman92

  

  Anyone beside justin going to this game? Some serious storms popping up this afternoon, maybe it'll cool it down some....or blow the stadium apart

  Hmmm....punishment for the missed cut-off last game??
  
  Lewis 5th?? I don't mind Lewis in there, but i'd switch him and Cairo.
