    The bullpen needs quarantined.

This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S.

    I would have brought on Schumaker to pitch, and let LeCure have the night off.

    Time to give all the injured rest and bring up the kids. But they won't do it. As Tom said twice tonight, they're only 5 (now 6) games behind in the Wild Card race. As if......

    Cheering a former player when you are up by a mere 7 runs.

    Am I to believe what I just saw on Game Day? Traveling for work and just saw this travesty. Is it as shameful as it looks?

    I see nothing in his game that makes me think he'll be anything more than AAAA-emergency call-up for these kinds of desperate times. He doesn't really excel in anything.

    You don't think we'd cheer a former Red if we were up by 7?

    He should be in AA this year. Only reason's he in the bigs is because the Reds have no other options.

    That is exactly my point. It's easy to be warm and fuzzy when you are winning big, but on the surface it's "Oh those classy Cardinals".


    Cardinals playing some real sloppy ball here in the 9th. 7-3 game.

    Wasn't he the best we had available at one point? The main problem here might be that this organization has nothing in the minors. Seems like somebody was making some bad scouting decisions over a period of a few years.

    Wouldn't it be more an "Oh look at us" if they did it when they were DOWN 7-0?

    Yes and no. We don't have much in the way of major league ready prospects, but over the long term the Reds have a lot of minor league talent. I don't think the front office expected the Reds this season to need to dig deep into the minors.

    Most ridiculous and embarrassing, slightly edging out the Arroyo-Welsh JTM efforts, commercial is the WeAre FSO efforts.
