2010 Reds

Just to prove that we haven’t forgotten our roots now that we’re big time published authors, today we continue on with our team “preview” series. We’ll kick things off with the Reds, who, as BSG notes, haven’t seen a winning season since 2000. But things are looking up in Cincy these days, and partially thanks to the stance magic of Brandon Phillips, the Reds currently find themselves only a game back of the mighty Cardinals. In a preview that takes an equal look at fertility and baseball, here are the 2010 Reds. Enjoy!

2010 Brewers Preview

Last year BSG got a chance to visit Miller Park, have a stance-off with Prince Fielder, and imitate the Brewers for the Brewers in their stretching circle. So you’ll excuse him if he has a special place in his heart for Milwaukee. Not to mention, the sausage race may be the best thing going in between-inning entertainment in all of baseball. For your weekend, here’s the 2010 preview of the brew-crew. Enjoy!

2010 Phillies Preview

Will Jayson Werth’s spring training beard and the addition of Placido Polanco be enough to get the Phils to their 3rd straight World Series appearance? BSG likes the lineup. And with big Mr. Howard still hitting the long ball, and Utley, Victorino, and the rest of the gang still in place, it’d be hard to bet against em. Here’s the Phillies 2010 preview, Enjoy!

The ground’s crew was happy the Cardinals won the game, they just wished it could’ve happened on a different night.

Paul O’Neill’s Punt

Steve Jeltz still can’t believe he stayed on third for this one. Still gotta be one of the best game sheet paragraphs of all time. Straight from the baseball bloopers Hall of Fame, it’s Paul O’Neill’s 1989 left-footed punt to the infield. Enjoy.

Hatcher’s Heroics

What better way to celebrate the season than with the candy-striped 86 Astros and the “Greatest Game Ever Played.” You keep that ball fair Billy Hatcher.

BSG vs. Prince Fielder

One is a National League All-Star and the reigning Homerun Derby champ, the other, a 36 yr old balding man with a wiffle ball bat. It’s a showdown for the ages as Batting Stance Guy goes head to head with the Milwaukee Brewer’s Prince Fielder in the first ever “Swing-Off!” And if you haven’t seen Prince do his thing before, we gotta tell you, you’re in for a treat. The other guy, well.. you know.

Prince Fielder’s 2008 Walk-Off HR

In honor of BSG’s trip to Milwaukee and his stance showdown with NL All-Star and homerun derby champ, Prince Fielder, we thought we’d take a look back at the slugger’s monster walk-off HR against the Pittsburgh Pirates from late September of last year. This at-bat by the man with the most jersey in baseball spurred the Brewers on to their first playoff appearance in 26 years, and gave us all a glimpse of what a major league gut looks like. yikes. Enjoy!

McGwire #62

Remember when times were simpler? When big, red-bearded men could hit ludicrous amounts of home-runs late in their careers and nobody said boo? Sighhhhhhh. Thanks for the memories big mac. We hope this one takes everyone back as well, cause if nothing else, it was a whole lotta fun. Enjoy!

The Brewers & BSG

Saturday, I get the word that I’m supposed to be at Miller Park that next morning at 10:30am. I arrive and the producer takes me to the field. We meet the on-air pregame show host. He is gracious and his wife laughs at me imitating BJ Surhoff’s facial expressions. We start the interview and he has me imitate players from the last 30 years.
