    There's really only one thing to do, but Raisor isn't quite ready to push the button yet

    The Reds have 99 problems but Votto is not one of them
    The only thing I worry about Votto is his mental condition. He beats himself up badly if he fails. I was at the Sat. and Sun. games in AZ, sitting in the 2nd row right at first base (within 30 ft of Votto). While taking warmups between innings, he was talking to himself, slamming the ball into the ground, let a few F bombs fly, and shaking his head no. He had just made out with runners on base.

    MTH123 thinks it's time.
    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

    Nobody's said it yet, so I will:

    This thread could get ugly.

    If you ask WildcatFan, it may be too early to bring out the big guns.

    KittyDuran agrees...

    BTW, I wore my Arroyo t-shirt to bed last night... could that be classified as "slump-busting"?

    Usually posting pictures of SJP will do the trick. Not sure we have reached that level of desperation.
    Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

    Redsmetz reaced for his usual generic coffee mug when he spied his WVXU Crosley Field mug. This should get the team back on track! Looks like he'll be using that mug again for a bit.

    Redsmetz has just poured his morning coffee in the Crosley Field mug and has enjoyed the first couple of sips. Day two.
