I can't get over how bad Corey Patterson has been playing

Making more sense why the Cubs and Orioles gave up on him. Also explains a lot about why the Reds were able to sign him late in spring training—> nobody really wanted him. He could become another Josh Hamilton, but he has been brutal batting leadoff.

by NyQuil'd on Apr 16, 2008 10:45 PM EDT reply actions  

He could become J Bruce's replacement.

Corey ain’t no Hobbs.

Thank you for your support

When you make a group of nerds mad they ban you. When you make a group of nerds feel like they just learned about baseball they ban you. Think about it, if they were brave they would debate me, but instead they piled on and I dealt with them like you do nerds. I insulted their fat mothers and their warcraft game and that was it.

Be passive and it will fix itself....

The reds need to be aggressive in all honesty…they need to make moves(no to Piazza). Anything they do, and they will do something soon…will be a step in the right direction. The reds will be fine….lots of pieces to the puzzle are missing that the reds will need to compete in the central, much less win the division out right. Best case right now is the Wild Card and that is going…going…..almost gone. Carl Linder would take your advice….thank god for Mr. Castellini.

Sorry about the rude Cubs fans that have been trolling on here. I do have to say that I don’t recognize their specific screen-names, so please don’t think that their views represent ours over at the BCB. Honestly, some of us actually aren’t complete terrible people.

Good luck tomorrow.
