The Pirates started their season by splitting the first two games in Atlanta and then winning the rubber match with a tenth-inning RBI from Xavier Nady. So, are they as good as the third best team in the NL East? Nah. Thus far, they appear to be the same old Pirates: 3-6 after losing two in Miami and then being swept at home by the Cubs. In the first nine games, their pitching staff has only twice held their opposition under five runs. Their team ERA is 5.34 with a 1.55 WHIP. (But watch out for the lefty John Grabow out of the 'pen.)
Aside from Dunn, the Reds have had some success against Maholm. If Volquez gives us six good innings and Weathers can handle this less-than-fearsome lineup, the good guys should continue this sweet roadie they have going. -Fat Vegas Alan

Holy crap
Norris Hopper has 2 extra base hits off of Maholm. He OWNS him.
WHY SHOULD I CHANGE IT? HE'S THE ONE WHO SUCKS!
considering he only has had 18 extra base hits
that is 1/9 of them all. Lets go with a double and a triple, its his time to shine.

Tell me we at least have Paul Bako going
We need a Fan Favorite. After Patterson and Bako, who's the guy? Freel?
by Brendanukkah on Apr 11, 2008 5:27 PM EDT up reply actions
Yup, we have Bako
Fay thinks we'll always have Bako. That is, he thinks the guy is playing so well that he'll stick around even when Ross gets back. Three catchers, anyone?
if youre referring to the mlbtr discussion
he also said valentin will be only a guy off the bench. So in that case, he's really just an emergency player who can catch or play first. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/04/rumor-royalty-1.html
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Dunn is playing. Here's the lineup:
Norris Hopper CF
Jeff Keppinger SS
Ken Griffey Jr. RF
Brandon Phillips 2B
Adam Dunn LF
Edwin Encarnacion 3B
Joey Votto 1B
Paul Bako C
And I want to simultaneously credit Fay with providing the lineup and mock him for this sentence (or whatever you might call this): "The rotation will be as speculated upon post off day: Aaron Harang Tuesday, Josh Fogg Wednesday, Edison Volquez Thursday v. the Cubs in Wrigley."
Now that I've read It several times I think I might finally understand what he's saying. I guess that's to secret to deciphering Fay. You've gotta cut and paste everything before you understand it.

why can't we get a straight rotation?
it's really strange the way he keeps mixing it around. Just Harang, Arroyo, Cueto, Fogg, Volquez. What's wrong with that?
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
He said something about
wanting to rest Cueto and Volquez since they aren't used to pitching a lot of innings and wanted to get them rest now for late in the year.
oh. well, ok.

What are you people doing!!??!!
The Yankees and RedSox play tonight!! They probably won't even play any other games this weekend. Why bother? Now, immediately begin talking about Yankees and RedSox. That's an order!
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
Yep
ESPN, Fox, the Catholic Church.... you name it. Yankees-RedSox. Even the economy is going to stop tanking for 3 days to give proper attention to this important, historical series.
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
Whoo... The Yanks and BoSox... Any predictions?
I'm guessing that it will take up 75% of the time SC devotes to baseball tomorrow... that's mine
BoSox take 2 of 3
and way too many "highlights" of people making basic plays. Oh and I forgot all of the over hype and over analysis too. How many Networks will carry games. Fox, ESPN any others?
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
Bats Home Opener or Reds v. Pirates?
Oh! Ross will be catching tonight for the Bats.
Decisions decisions.
it's fair-weather fan day at slugger field
opening night vs. the PawSox. Bandwagon Bats fans AND bandwagon Red Sox fans. so if you were wondering about going, i would suggest not to. it's not my scene, anyway.

Mmmm...Cincinnati chili
Turns out there's a place in downtown Greensboro that claims to have Cincinnati-style chili. I should go try it out some time, but I never think of it at lunchtime during the week, when they're open.
I've been there
It's called "Cincy's." Good, not great.
Give me Stamey's any day.

Not so many in Greensboro...
Though the new place downtown has a pretty great black bean burger. Asheville has much, much better vegetarian fare.

Hey Slyde, that clown Tim Dierkes at mlbtraderumors.com in his comments section in the "rumor royalty' piece referred to The Fay as the "undisputed best source of Reds hot stove info." So is Dierkes ignorant, kissing Fay's butt, or none of the above?
I think he means that Fay's the best source of pointless rumors that don't go anywhere
Ergo, he fits right in with the rest of what happens at MLB Trade Rumors.
