Alan,

The bad news is that this Expo team stinks on ice.
Ergo, a failure to sweep is akin to a failure (couldn't resist).

I failed to mention in my previous email that going through the 1994 Reds
was no picnic either. Sorry, no disrespect intended.

Further, I failed to mention that the Expo's 1994 World Series win is the
FIRST EVER championship for a tema out of the National League East! No
joke. So here's one for my long-suffering NL East managers.

Now that the Braves have come on over to the NL East that will probably
change.

Steve B.

A far cry from our performance against Montreal in 1994, the Reds would
have swept (despite the split cards from hell) were it not for one more in
the never-ending serial "Nobody Chokes Like The Reds"....


Game 1: A complete mound mismatch, with Pedro Martinez opposing
recently-acquired batting practice pitcher Brian Keyser, but Keyser rose to
the occasion and posted results about as good as could be expected (5.1 IP,
8 baserunners, 1 run). A barrage (3) of first inning doubles put the
visitors on top 2-0, but little did we know that outburst would represent
50% of our hits and 100% of our runs scored for the day.

Still, it appeared that might be enough. Keyser took a shutout into the
5th, losing it on a 1-out triple which was followed by an RBI groundout.
When Keyser allowed a 1-out double in the MON 6th, Dave Burba came to the
rescue and halted the rally. So Keyser left with a 2-1 lead -- and the
Reds still looking for their next hit after the first inning.

We found a couple of hits leading off the 7th, getting runners to 2nd & 3rd
with nobody out. There they died, with the subsequent 3 batters going
strikeout, strikeout, strikeout. Bravo.

That last K being a pinch hitter for Burba, spectacular arsonist/closer
Todd Jones took the mound and was, as usual, at his worst. With 2 outs and
the bases empty, the most efficient way to prevent a scoreless inning is to
allow a gopher. And so he did, tying the contest in the 7th and removing
Keyser from any possibility of victory.

Then in the 8th, Jones removed his entire team from any possibility of
victory by choking up another clutch 2-out hit which made it a 4-2 final
after the offense went down without too much effort in the CIN 9th. Jones
recorded his second blown save of 1995, and worse yet sunk to a devastating
0-3 in the young season.

========================================================================

Game 2: The Reds again scored early and then not at all, building a 6-0
lead against Jeff Fassero, whose 2-inning outing was the briefest start of
his career (47 GS). The Cincy offense managed this despite batting a
perfect .000 on the split cards, getting the adverse result every possible
time and doing pretty much the same for the remainder of the series.

CIN starter John Smiley kept the shutout intact until the 6th, when the
Expos cut the margin to an uncomfortably close 6-2, but Smiley hung in
there and wobbled to a complete-game 7-3 win after extinguishing a major
rally that began with 2 outs and nobody on base in the bottom of the 9th.
Smiley wound up with an ugly 11-hitter.

The teams combined for 9 extra base hits, 7 doubles and a pair of home runs
from Cincy's Barry Larkin and Jerome Walton. Smiley found time to fan 11
batters and walk only 2 among all the hits he allowed, an outstanding
control performance topped only slightly by Pedro's 0 walk, 11 K stats in
the series opener.

========================================================================

Game 3: Continuing the theme, Cincy scored twice in the first off Dennis
Martinez and then hibernated for a while. Also continuing a theme, CIN
starter Jose Rijo got off to a good start and kept the home team off the
board until he finally permitted his first run of the year in the 4th with
a minimum of effort from the opposing offense (single, WP, WP, groundout).

Assuming quite correctly that more runs would be necessary, the Reds woke
up in the 6th and plated 2 more on a Larkin sac fly and a Reggie Sanders
double. Rijo worked 6 innings, allowing just 4 hits, 0 walks and
registering 7 K's. His ERA currently stands at 0.82, but with that card
(and such little usage) Rijo will be no contender for any postseason awards.

His impending freedom from the Cincy Arson Squad having been announced
earlier in the day, the Reds again stupidly turned to Jones to try to seal
the narrow victory and -- would you believe it? -- he actually did!

Jones retired all 6 batters who came to the plate in the 7th & 8th, but
with nobody on base thanks to a GIDP and Montreal down to their final out
he simply couldn't resist: Sean Berry's solo -- instead of 3-run -- gopher
made the final score 5-3. Who knew that Darrin Fletcher's GIDP would be so
important?

Cincy's 8 hits for the day included 5 doubles and a Hal Morris home run.
Half of the Expos' 6 hits were more than mere singles as well.

Alan
