Reds disable Manny Parra, reinstate Sean Marshall
Per several tweets. (Reds own twitter, plus C.Trent.) (ctrent @ctrent Between the time the Reds closed the clubhouse and I came upstairs, they activated Sean Marshall and DL'd Manny Parra, according to @Reds)
This seems more than a little convenient, that one left hander goes down 'disabled' the same day another is ready to come back up...

What was Parra disabled for, inability to pitch?

I believe the actual diagnosis was acute suckiness.
Re: Reds disable Manny Parra, reinstate Sean Marshall
Some of these predictable responses feel like piling on in the excessive criticism realm. That said, I can't help but chuckle at them.

That's not fair. The man did his best, and frankly he didn't pitch all that badly....okay, just kidding. Sayonara Manny Parra, may we see you again only if you're pitching for someone else.
Re: Reds disable Manny Parra, reinstate Sean Marshall
Never understood signing him in the first place. I never thought he was any good.
Re: Reds disable Manny Parra, reinstate Sean Marshall
"Strained left pectoral muscle"? I looked it up on WedMD. Apparently, you can get that from throwing too many meatballs.
Re: Reds disable Manny Parra, reinstate Sean Marshall
Ha, I was hoping they would "invent" an injury for Parra. LMAO.

Something about the predicate in that sentence sounds ominous.

I think he has a crippling case of mediocrity.
Re: Reds disable Manny Parra, reinstate Sean Marshall
hope it's the 60 day DL. 15 days isn't long enough.

I had visions of Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan.
