Brubaker was hammered last two outings, but looking at his ERA, I'd say he was stoned.

With as bad as both of these teams are, they actually make a good case for having doubleheaders 7 innings.

I think rain will be a problem at least for the 2nd game if not both.

Me and Mister Man were soaked to the bone and pretty freaking cold this morning putting flags on veteran graves. I was thinking it's going to be tough getting one game in, let alone 2.



Three doubleheaders today. Not sure about the rain status in the other two.

[Surgnbuck]

The weather actually looks pretty good for Sunday. I say schedule a triple header, make all three games 5 innings.

Greg Brown and Kevin Young on the tv side for game 1

Seven innings- that means Polanco only gets to strike out three times

[Surgnbuck]

Reds and Cubs are the free game of the day on MLB tv if anyone is interested.

2 quick outs followed by good fortune with an attem ball to end the inning. JTB was on the verge of making a mess of the first.
