Re: Reds vs Nats 8/3/08

What a gutless team. Griffey says thanks for trading me.

Please take the sofa...put it on the mound and burn it.

Trade everyone and anyone....Go Frank Lane/Whitey Herzog on it.

Re: Reds vs Nats 8/3/08

Walt Jocketty has himself a CRAP (can't use the other word) load of work to do...


But gotta keep the .500 goal in mind...that's important.

Re: Reds vs Nats 8/3/08

It's a little insulting to hear Marty hawking tickets after that half inning.....

Re: Reds vs Nats 8/3/08

So how in the world are all four of those runs earned?

Dunn's defense has been around average all season but he seems to have a his bad days when Cueto pitches. I remember him misplaying a flyball in Chicago that cost Cueto three runs and now this.

Re: Reds vs Nats 8/3/08

Ring Ring. Hello, this is a very frustrated and unfocussed Johnny Cueto; yes, I'm calling in "ineffective" today. You might want to get that raggedy bullpen up and tossing again. They need to set a new record for innings pitched against the Nationals.

I could see him saying "I'm not reading that one" and throwing the card out of the window

I agree with the first statement. But the second: I seriously doubt that matters to Walt.

Re: Reds vs Nats 8/3/08

Ah...2 on...1 out, a good opportunity here.


...And in steps Corey Patterson. Kinda gives you that tingly feeling, doesn't it?

All that trading Fogg/Weathers/Affeldt would have accomplished is that more pitchers that are not ready for majors would be taking the mound for the Reds.

I was thinking about going to a couple of games this week, but I might have to reconsider.

Re: Reds vs Nats 8/3/08

Should that ever happen to a middle infielder (B Phillips getting picked off of second)?
