Re: 8/4/12- Reds vs. Pirates

We may need to rethink possibly signing Rolen next season. He looks completely healthy and has been clutch since the AS Break. He's really dealin'.

You know, they were motivated, but in the wrong way. They wanted to kill, not win. McCutcheon fired them up for no reason and the presses all night. Another symptom of never having been there.

What a story it would be if he came back for a strong year. But I just can't count on it being here. Let's just send him off a World Champion perhaps?

Didn't think Rolen had this level of play left in him. Makes it extra sweet!

Jeez, the Reds win a big game and people are getting snippy about a joke.
