He Is So Very, Very Good

Jay Bruce is the frakking MAN. Bottom of the tenth, 7-7 game against the Braves...

GONE! Way, way gone. This guy is unbelievable. It's only five games, but he's hitting 579 / 680 / 895... as a 21 year-old. The next Larry Walker indeed. You know, I don't blame the Reds at all for not giving Bruce up for Erik Bedard, even in a one-for-one deal. He may have arrived late to the race, but Bruce may still win the Rookie of the Year award (like Ryan Braun did last year). I hope that some day soon, O's fans will have an opportunity to be this excited about Matt Wieters.
