Monday, June 13, 1887

Did you ever wonder why Friday the 13th was bad luck? Since Mondays are so bad all by themselves, shouldn't Monday the 13th be the day for extra bad luck?

We are in Cincinnati to begin a 3 game series with manager/CF Silver Borresen (33-6.9) and his Reds today. We are 6-2 against them on the season, but we split 2 games in Detroit last week. In the last game we played with them, they beat us 14 to 6. They now are leading the League in scoring with 7.2 runs per game (Detroit is still last with 5.8). They are 4th in runs allowed with 6.6 per game (Detroit is still #1 with 4.6). As it has always been, Cincinnati's League Park is a kind place to hitters.

CF Pat Stafford (26-5.4) had 3 hits with his league-leading 8th home run of the year, stole 2 bases, scored 2 runs and had 5 RBIs.

Tom Lee (29-6.0) was sent out to Waterbury of the Eastern League (A). He has won the GNA Hurler Trophy twice, including last season when he went 34-17 while leading the league in ERA. The new pitching rules seem to be giving him a very hard time. He is 6-5 with a 4.66 ERA and is walking 5.1 batters per 9 innings, the 2nd worst rate in the GNA.
