Reds Bullpen Bonfire...

According to this story, Scott Proctor, a New York Yankees relief pitcher, set fire to his glove after a 7-0 loss to the Oakland A's on Saturday.

According to the article:

Proctor carried his personal game equipment out to the field long after Saturday's 7-0 loss to Oakland and set it ablaze on the gravel outside the New York dugout, leading to tabloid headlines of "Proctor All Fired Up" and "Proctor in shambles, burns glove."

"It was all just a joke, man, I mean really," Proctor said. "Just something I've done in the past."

Proctor, who said he couldn't remember if the fire worked when he was struggling in Triple-A, pitched 1 1-3 scoreless innings in the Yankees' 11-5 loss to Oakland on Sunday. He got a mixed reaction from the Yankee Stadium crowd when he entered in the eighth inning.

He had allowed six runs and 10 hits in his previous 4 1-3 innings.

Wow.  Six runs in 4 1/3 innings (a 12.46 ERA) is actually pretty good for Gary McJeffsky (who has a 15.88 ERA) and all in a day's work for most other Reds' relievers.

If Proctor burned his glove, what should be burned to right the Reds' bullpen?

In a departure from tradition, boobs is not a choice in the poll, although you can write him (or anyone else) in.

I'll say it again
The Yankees are so rich they can blatantly waste good athletic equipment. And here we are clipping coupons!

This bull pen burns my ass!
Except of course Stormy. Can't fix the pen with Krivsky in charge - burn his Red's ID and send him home.

Maybe it's just delayed
He probably had to re-write the Reds section, given the fast-changing events.

Hopefully, he notes...
That managers are not fired, they are burned...

Burned, by the HEAT.

Everyday Scotty
Proctor is a Yankee because of the Reds.  They traded Aaron Boone to NY.  NY then had to get rid of Robin Ventura, and dealt him to the Dodgers about 5 minutes before the trade deadline.  They got Scott Proctor (and Bubba Crosby) in return.

I don't want to burn Scott Proctor, though.  He's kinda useful, when Torre's not abusing him.  

How about Mike Stanton?  He'll bring his own gasoline.
