Yeah, He's Pretty Good

Josh Hamilton won... end of story!

Plus, Happy Birthday to my dad.

Volquez Power

Hey, Josh Hamilton is sure getting off to a good start in Texas. J.J. Putz - ha! Like Walla Walla, Keokuk, Cucamonga and Seattle, J.J. Putz always makes me laugh.

...Seattle.

Much anticipation regarding the scheduled Sunday lift-off of Edison Volquez. Vs. les Sillies? Haha - can't wait. Might have to go out and procure a #36 Volquez Reds jersey to display a la honeymoon!

Nice try, Penn State - Harrisburg. Go Jays!

The AFA released its 2008 football schedule yesterday. Primo match-ups include:

Sept. 20 v. Utah
Nov. 8 v. Colorado State
Nov. 15 v. BYU

Note: All times are Mountain time zone.

Tough sledding with tbd Penn State and K-State games on the TINWA docket. Mr. H wants to hit a PSU (v. Oregon State? IU? MSU?) game this fall. I would certainly be open to another trip to Colorado Springs.

The B-1!! >>>>> Joe Paterno

More Josh Hamilton Love

It doesn't get any easier to deal with the loss of Josh Hamilton when stories like this keeping popping out of Rangers spring training. Question: if I keep posting pictures of him in a Reds uniform, will it make it so?

NL-Only League Exception?

CBSSports.com offers a glowing piece on former Reds / present Rangers up-and-coming OF (and TINWA personal fav) Josh Hamilton. Nice to know he is mashing balls all over the field, running like the wind around the bases and in the field and exhibiting his rifle of an arm that made him a can't-miss prospect for the Reds... only now he's doing it in Flagstaff this spring for the Rangers. Hindsight is 20/20 and the Reds needed pitching, plus who's to say Crusty Baker would actually play Hamilton on the regular, but regardless, nice going Krvisky!!

Add to that superstud Jay Bruce will likely start the year back in the minors. Oh well, we have Norris Hopper, Ken Griffey, Jr., Corey Patterson and Adam Dunn patrolling the outfield this year!

Ugh.
