Not to get all John Mayer on you here, but I said what I needed to say about Pelfrey yesterday. The offense needs to get their pitch and let him cause his own trouble.
And now, let us pray...
[drops to knees, clutches hands, and closes eyes]
Please be the good Arroyo tonight. Please be the good Arroyo tonight. Please be the good Arroyo tonight. Please be the good Arroyo tonight.

indiana jones is on USA network
temple of doom is on now. raiders is on at 8:30. if badroyo shows up, i think i’ll watch indy. i don’t think i can bear to watch two pathetic starting performances in one day.
Hmm
Sounds like a perfectly good excuse to have Karen Allen pictures in the thread.

Encarnacion batting cleanup
He’s earned it. Let’s hope he has a good night tonight, so that we can move Phillips out of the cleanup role.

Freel sees seven pitches, then hits a double
Take not, Patterson. That’s the way a leadoff hitter does it.
And how ‘bout Freel? He’s been awesome lately. I’d pretty much written him off, so it’s great to see him show me how I was wrong.
hmm
why does Votto need a seat? i mean, the kid is 24, hitting like he’s 10 feet tall, and figures be both of those things for at least a few more months. what gives?

Nope, not too gay
Well, Brad Pitt’s hair and pout is a little… Brad Pitt, but Eric Bana is all man. The fighting is really well done, and the acting ain’t bad. Brad Pitt really turns Achilles into a prick, but when they’re fighting, you can see that there’s no one better in the world.

Well, that bunt sure was key.
With Farney on 2nd with a leadoff double, they bunt him to third, then Jr. hits a 9-iron to left that would probably have scored him from first, if he had a running start.

It's bizarro world
Homer sucked.
IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA 4.1 11 7 6 2 1 1 3.55
And Gary Majewski was lights-out. In the words of Jim Kelch, he’s like a different pitcher.
On the bright side, Janish and Bruce homered. Andy Phillips is 2 for 5 (so far), with a 2-RBI double. Which means his hitting streak is alive. It’s at 13 now, and the longest active streak in the IL.

"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
Speaking of Griffey
What do people think his plans are? I think he’s going to stay for this season (by nixing all trades unless someone wants to vest his option for next year at $16 million), and then renegotiating with the Reds for next year and maybe the one after. Just a hunch. I really can’t see him just walking away without telling everyone, or botching it like Larkin did.
Do you think he'll renegotiate?
He already deferred a ton of his contract. And he doesn’t seem to have a great relationship with the front office.
by Brendanukkah on May 10, 2008 9:12 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't think his relationship with the front office is bad either. It's just nonexistent (as far as we know)
All things being equal, the Reds will pay him the $4 million and it’s done. Then what’s Griffey going to do? Play for someone else? Where’s he going to go? Seattle? I guess, but he doesn’t know anyone there but maybe a few beat writers (who never treated him well).
If he’s not ready to hang it up after this season, I see him signing with the Reds for one or two more year for a marginal amount over the $4 million he’s guaranteed if the Reds buy him out.
Why would he come back to the Reds for anything less than $16M?
I get the feeling that if another team didn’t pick him up, he wouldn’t have too many qualms about calling it a career. I just don’t think he’d give us a discount again. If the Reds want him on the team next year, it’s only going to happen if they pick up the option.
by Brendanukkah on May 10, 2008 9:20 PM EDT up reply actions
Right
He might sign for less somewhere else, if some either team wants him. I don’t think he’ll sign for less here.

Dunn has hurt this team this season!
Clearly there’s a contingent here - getting smaller and smaller with each week - that loves Dunn. I thought JD’s rant about how bad this team is was funny in that he chose to not even mention Adam Dunn’s poor performance. He singled out everyone else.
Now—that comment will get the little gang going and be pounced on with insanity (see my recent post on the racism commentary). But that’s life at RedReporter.
yeah id agree with that
patterson hits .203 with 4 hrs and everyone calls him horrible, dunn hits .213 with 5 hrs and no one says a thing. Although i will admit dunn has a better track record, and thats probably the main reason

last place
2nd worst rec in the nat’l league. There’s more than 1 problem…
Dunn’s play so far has been pretty indefensible. Especially since he makes more than almost anyone else on the team.
Plus
Dunn’s defense is horrible. He has no speed on the bases. He walks and hits home runs. Boston can pay a guy like that $13 million. NY can. The Cubs would.
The Reds can’t build their future with Bruce, Votto, Phillips, Bailey, Cueto and Volquez—and also pay a lumbering outfielder who has no speed and is horrble defensively $13 million.
Don’t argue your point with me. Try to convince Walt Jocketty that he ought to do that.
Good luck.
Okay. It was nice knowing you while you were here.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
He's gone
Lumbering outfielders aren’t Walt Jockety’s idea of progress
I'm scared to think what his ideas are.
He signed a bunch of jackasses in St. Louis, and they stumbled into the ugliest world series vicotry in history. I really don’t want to win it that way.
I wouldn't be that picky
He made some good signings too, though ones that look a little more unseemly after the Mitchell Report.

I hated these players with a passion before they were Cardinals. So I was relieved that Jocketty seemed to attract them. And now he works for my favorite team. So yes. I’m scared to death. I don’t want to see a bunch of clowns where a Reds uniform, even if they are celebrating a championship. Call me picky.

patterson
Earlier Patterson got on base and one of you (the gang) quickly commented that you hoped he didn’t get credited with a hit.
See what I mean?
I am not sure what Brian B was thinking.
However, you have not answered my question to you, which is, put plainly, “If you think all of the ‘gang’ are guilty of some sort of unconscious bias, then can you not admit that, based on your comment regarding Dunn’s single, you have no right to act sanctimonious to the ‘gang’ about unconscious bias?”

in response to your post in that thread
Red Reporter is filled with very intelligent posters. That is what seperates us from other blogs you may be used to. We have great discussion here, and you can learn new things every day.
However, if you aren’t very bright, and you can’t keep up, and you take an obviously hostile stance towards us, you won’t last very long.
In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake. And to me the choice is easy.

Our boy Hudy...
Is probably turning out to be a Top Hat instead.
He seems awfully familiar, kind of like going to a motel, renting a room, leaving, then coming back the next week to rent a room and finding that you’re sleeping in the same sheets.

I've taken it personally
In the first post I saw, I said “Hi Hello and Welcome” and asked what he was drinking. Then it was one slap in the face after another. So the hell with him. You guys can try to civil with him all you want. My gloves are off.
This isn't just an idle boast. We can back it up now

Whoops, guess not
All unearned runs so far.

buckeyefox made an observation about that
And people have seemed to notice it about Keppinger in particular. A lot.

Chris is brilliant
Double headers… you’re gonna split them. Unless you sweep or get swept
No shit? Really?
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
And that's why Coco keeps the fire!
I love your music.

Nice win, guys!
Big game by Bronson and Kepp
"My wife ain't never ran and got me no pheasant." - Fistbands
Stars
3. Keppinger
2. Scotty 2 Hottie
And the # 1 star- Big time step up effort Bronson!
Big play- Throwing wright out at home.
Tomorrow- last game ever for the Reds at Shea. Lets go out a winner.
Last game at Shea
because the Reds will be the wild card and the Mets won’t make the play-offs right?
What, no love for Bako?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Nice win.
Hope we see the guy who pitched for us again.
Maybe it was actually Chandrathan…

Still haven't answered my question above...
Re your comment on Dunn’s single…
