Yesterday's solo shot gave Joey his only RBI in the last eight games, even though he's been on fire at the plate. That's ridiculous. He'd drive in 125/130 runs a year if he had some guys in front of him who get on base regularly.

I know I think he's something like 8 for his last 11 with only one RBI, that came on a solo shot.

To say I hate this lineup would be an understatement... I guess Dusty is tired of all this winning.......

Wilson Valdez needs to be replaced.

And, the Mike Constanzo experiment has run it's course. He's in it way over his head. He needs to be sent back to the Minors. Bring up Paul Janish, who won't hit any worse, but at least he'd be a good defensive replacement.

Danny Dorn has paid his dues. Give him a shot.

Shortstop hits first or second and catcher hits eighth, dude.

Anyone notice Chapman's velocity being down a little yesterday? Kind of makes me nervous.

Dusty is a fool. No ifs ands or buts. You just have to live with it. SS bats second, dude. Maybe first.

Re: Reds vs. Pirates Monday 5/28

I know Dusty's methods, but it's still mind-boggling, even after all this time.

Is this a statement, or a question?
