Well, holy shit. Looking like ballplayers today.


Brandon keeps his focus and hits a homer on the pitch that got him out the last at bat.


Bruce stays on it and gets a big hit. Rolen with yet another double (not surprising) and Bruce hustles on the basepaths and scores from first!



Why is it they can't play this way every day? Attitude reflects leadership.

The guy is definitely still the smartest person wearing a Reds uniform. I have 0 doubt in that. His body just can't do what his mind is telling him to do anymore. No shame in that, happens to everyone. The shame is with management trying to play him like his a freaking All-Star still when there are young players producing. Rolen has his spots and thats where he should be used.

So, while we're bored here and waiting for the Reds to relapse, I figured I'd ask how everyone feels about this incident.


Hopefully, everyone has read the article about the New Jersey lady who's suing a little leaguer for hitting her with a ball while at the ball park. Her husband is asking for 6-7 figures in damages!!


MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. ? A New Jersey woman who was struck in the face with a baseball at a Little League game is suing the young catcher who threw it.
Elizabeth Lloyd is seeking more than $150,000 in damages to cover medical costs stemming from the incident at a Manchester Little League game two years ago. She's also seeking an undefined amount for pain and suffering.
Lloyd was sitting at a picnic table near a fenced-in bullpen when she was hit with the ball.
Catcher Matthew Migliaccio was 11 years old at the time and was warming up a pitcher.

Personally, I think the bitch should be Sandusky'd.

I dunno if Little League is any different, but I'm pretty sure when you go to a park, you agree to an assumption of risk

I took a Sport Law class a few years ago for my major, and nothing this major was discussed, but we had cases where a spectator got hurt and usually tried to sue the organization...never heard the actual player getting sued before

And the kid is 11! If you watch the video, the bench she was on is right by the "bullpen". Absolutely horrified that this case can actually go this far.
