Could have had Jeremy Hermida last week for practically nothing. Now he's with the Oakland AAA team, I think.
DFA Harang and bring up a kid from AAA to help until the end of the season.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
Shame Bailey didn't get the win
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
Put Balentien on, cut DRH.
The thing is who do you go get? Look at the teams out of it, with players that could be available. I don't think the Marlins, Nationals, Dodgers, Dbacks, Pirates, Brewers, or Cubs have anyone available. In the AL, the Royals, Indians, Angels, Tigers and Orioles don't. The only kind of guys out there are likely to be lesser versions of Jim Edmunds and Miguel Cairo. Give me Balentien or Frazier.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
Do you believe in magic (numbers), in a young Reds' heart?
How wins can free it, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the winning is groovy
It makes you feel happy, like a Big Red movie
It tells you about the magic that will free your soul
But it's like tryin' to tell a stranger 'bout ol' Dick Pole
Yeah do you believe in magic?

You lose Harang anyway at the end of the year. He is a hood ornament at this point. Cut the dead weight and use Leake as your long man.
