Dusty being Dusty.

Again, this team will win, "in spite of him".

Re: Reds vs. Pirates Monday 5/28

Snot like we haven't seen this movie before.

2009. T-Virus/Gonzo 1/2 for half of the year.

Lowest MLB OPS at 1. Lowest MLB OBP at 2.

Votto's numbers over the years have been significantly depressed due to Baker's machinations and Jocketty "supplying" Baker with the parts to do it.

Hit the glove first, but the top part of the ball hit the wall. I have no idea on the rules here but I would think that's a good catch.

Bury your best hitter in the #8 hole and follow him with a pitcher and two other guys who can't hit very well, though Stubbs has at least been decent this season, instead of the god-awful play of Valdez.

The umps agreed. That is all that matters.

You do realize that on numerous occasions Dusty has had the pitcher bunt then pull him? Predictably he gets bashed for that too.

The constant whining about the manager of a first place team is an embarrassment to the concept of having intelligent baseball conversation.

Woulda been a great catch. The Pirates continue to tattoo the ball.

Stubbs is awful in the outfield. He can't/won't lay out for a ball.
