Re: Reds vs Cubs 8/21/08 (afternoon game)
Why waste at bats/innings on dreck like Patterson, Majewski, etc. Dickerson should be in CF with Rosales in LF. Gotta keep the little girl happy I guess. :evil:
Re: Reds vs Cubs 8/21/08 (afternoon game)
I would love to see Rosales get at least a little bit of playing time one of these days.
Re: Reds vs Cubs 8/21/08 (afternoon game)
Dusty said a few days ago he was going to start Rosales in one of the Cubs games. Turns out he lied.

Go read the quote again.
Re: Reds vs Cubs 8/21/08 (afternoon game)
Apparently Rosales was just brought up to carry Patterson's bags. :rolleyes:

Nowhere does he say that Rosales will get a start.
Re: Reds vs Cubs 8/21/08 (afternoon game)
I'm not really surprised, Dusty has been known to make up things in the past. IIRC he made up some stuff on Bruce and Freel earlier in the year and they both refuted it.
Re: Reds vs Cubs 8/21/08 (afternoon game)
He didn't make anything up about Rosales or his playing time.
Re: Reds vs Cubs 8/21/08 (afternoon game)
It's important to get Patterson and Bako as many at-bats as possible in this lost season.

Re: Reds vs Cubs 8/21/08 (afternoon game)
Dickerson with a 4 pitch walk to start the game.

Yet, Corey Patterson's "right situation" remains a mystery...

OK, let's move on about Patterson and Rosales. If you want to complain about their usage, go over to ORG.

Bob Brenly has a mancrush on Chris Dickerson.
