Good to see Pena back.

[missionhockey21]

Also nice to see Hancock working his way up to AAA.

And with Romano DFA, maybe Dan O is fired?

[CincyRedsFan30]

Yeah. Who know we would be beggin for Hancock to join the team? Hopefully he can end up being a "decent" starter for us.

As for Romano... I didn't even think of it like that. Maybe he really is close to being fired. Otherwise Elizardo or Luis Lopez probably would have been sent down.(Despite the numerous outfielders we would have had if Romano had stayed)

The lineup tonight should be "interesting".

[missionhockey21]

I am still waiting to see Kearns spend some time at 3B. Remember OB said he would?

[CincyRedsFan30]

Oh man.

If that happens, I'm going to go down to GABP and have a little chat with him.

I could see a lineup like:
Lopez SS
Aurilia 2B
Griffey CF
Pena RF
Dunn LF
Casey 1B
Kearns 3B
LaRue C
