I always have been and always will be...
I just think Griffey and Cincinnati have been a terrible fit. It makes me sad everytime I think of it. We've been awful, and he's barely played. That's just not how it should have turned out.

More pitches for Stanton to warm up?

Wait, Stanton warms up?

Blame the rookie, Jerry...
Of course he's going to blame the rook...
It was a good pitch on the corner, but it was even better hitting by Taguchi.
Of course, the play there is to walk the bases loaded.
Yes...

Jerry splaining the situation...
Reporter: Jerry why didn't you walk the bases loaded?
Jerry: Uhh...how about Homer starting Friday!
Frank Pastore is ready, willing and old, too
was our "B" team pitching
Actually I envisioned the Cards loading them up and then win it on a walk off HBP
Goddammit
Any time I talk excitedly about watching/listening to the Reds on a given night, my wife says, "Why are you wasting your time? They're in last place. They're just going to lose, and you're going to be pissed." I hate when she's right.
All will be better on Friday night, though.
How?

Some around here have been talking about 2008... at the rate we're going, and with things staying the way they have been, Narron and Stanton will still be here in 2008. So, what? 2009? Sometime before I hit retirement age?

Yes
And then JD should ban that guy.
I think I even remember when Dan O'Brien was hired that somebody was whining about how Krivsky would have been a better choice. At least O'Brien recognized that he had some strengths on the team he inherited. Krivsky just decimated this offense and replaced it with crap.
I was one that thought Krivsky
Haven't posted much recently, and games like tonight are a big reason why. Apathy is starting to take over.

Are you saying we should ban the maker?
Funny quote from Ryan Franklin
All seven of his pitches? Since when does he have anywhere close to that many? "Uh, look Kelly, they're all gonna be pretty much straight down the middle. Even if they clobber it, hey, I'll throw it again."
