Some early happenings
On Sunday morning, as the grounds crew pushes the batting cage into place in Great American Ball Park, something to go with the morning Grape Nuts Flakes and the grapefruit:
Manager Dusty Baker is using the same players for Sunday’s game with the Brewers, but he shuffled the deck.
Brandon Phillips was moved from fourth to second, Adam Dunn was moved from fifth to fourth. Jeff Keppinger was dropped from second to fifth. Joey Votto was moved ahead of Edwin Encarnacion.
The order: Cory Patterson, Brandon Phillips, Ken Griffey Jr., Adam Dunn, Jeff Keppinger, Joey Votto, Edwin Encarnacion, Paul Bako, Aaron Harang.
Ted Williamjs and Joe DiMaggio are still missing.
Also, the MRI on David Weathers was negative and he is day-to-day after he left Saturday’s game in the 10th inning with tingling and a burning sensation in his arm.

Why should anyone be surprise by Dusty moves. Wherever he has went he always brings along two or three players whom at best are subpar and insist on playing them. He did it in San Francisco and in Chicago with the same lousy results. My questions are how long are we going to keep the bum before we realized what Chicago did and get rid of him,as Freel or or anyone is better than Patterson on thier worse day.
